I'm more than a little surprised by some of the negative reviews. It's been obvious since the first episode of the show that Vic had deep feelings for Walt; what was never clear over the past 6 seasons was whether those feelings were reciprocated. Vic put Walt first over any romantic interest she had, including her own husband during the first 3 seasons.
For example: in the first episode of season 4, "Down by the River," Vic drives over to Walt's house with a six pack, unbuttons a couple buttons on her shirt, and enters with the clear intent to take their relationship to the next level--only to discover Walt was involved with someone else. The people saying they didn't see the ending coming must've been watching a different show.
I was surprised that they ended up together at the end only because the show never made it clear what Walt's feelings were until that episode. But it worked very well, and felt organic to what had happened during the season. Kudos to the writers for making it NOT seem like a fan-driven development when it easily could have.
As for his daughter becoming Sheriff, the position is elected and anyone can run. It's not completely unheard of for someone with little law enforcement experience to run and win. She has a lot of knowledge on the legal side, so she's not completely lacking in competence. Although the development was a little out of left field, it's not beyond the realm of possibility.
I thought the finale was great, and treated the characters with the respect they deserved after 6 terrific seasons.
