It sucks that AvED had to end so soon, but to me, the finale was perfection. I think at the end of season 2, Starz was probably on the fence about whether to renew for season 3 or not, so they had to make a season finale that could also stand as a series finale in case it was cancelled. The result wasn't really a satisfying way to end the ED franchise, but they wanted to have closure and not leave a bunch of stuff hanging. I'm sure the AvED people figured the same thing would happen for Season 3, so they had much more time to prepare and they put out an episode that worked as an absolutely brilliant series finale that could also be a bridge to a new season if the show was renewed by some miracle.
It wouldn't have felt right if the show ended on too happy of a note (like season 2) or if Ash had been killed fighting Kandar the Destroyer. They found the perfect way to go with Ash ending up in the future and carrying on the Deadite ass kicking. Also, I love how the series premier (which I also consider to be a perfect addition to the ED franchise) began with Space Truckin' and the finale ended with Space Truckin'. A perfect circle.
So long Ash, it's been fun.
