I think Philip's death was not what be deserved.

I don't mean this as in "he shouldn't of died" because i think we all knew that's how his story would always end,My actual issue is HOW he died.

He didn't die feeling bad, maybe he was a bit scared but he didn't have to face the consequences of his actions (atleast not all of them). He had no realisation that everything he'd done was wrong. He didn't see hunter, or caleb, or anyone else on the boiling isles who's he caused lasting damage to. He didn't suffer, instead he gets stomped on, barely painful.

During the entirety of Season (and the last couple eps of season 2), its been shown that Philip knows deep down that he's guilty, and its shown even more with the Hallucinations of Caleb and the Grimwalkers. But he's too stubborn and too far ahead to admit he was wrong. I thought that was what WAD was going to be, Philips 'realisation' and ending.

All in all it was anticlimactic.
