But while the details regarding John and Nolan’s placement on the dock might not have always been in the cards, it’s good to know that Kessler, Kessler and Zelman had at least always intended to finish this story on John unburdening himself to the person who’d arguably be most affected by that confession.
And especially knowing that so many of Bloodline’s other questions would still be left unanswered, offering the unavoidable consequence of fan frustration.
So it’s a fairly bold move for Bloodline’s creative team to still decide to go in this direction, especially after a penultimate episode whisked through a series of reality-morphing dream sequences and re-introduced the spirit of Ben Mendelsohn’s Danny Rayburn as John’s moral muse.
