FINAL SEASON CONCLUSION:
Well...things are looking up:The Japanese have abandoned North America, and the Black Communist Rebellion is setting up a new, presumably much better government. The east coast has autonomy from Germany, and is now being run by a guy who clearly wants the Nazis gone. John Smith, perpetrator of so many crimes against humanity, is finally dead and gone. These are all good things.
But after all that happened, there was still one last scene for “The Man in the High Castle.” The final scene takes us to the portal the Nazis built so they could travel to alternate universes. Something weird has been going on there all season, with the portal turning itself on a couple times and giving Juliana weird feelings that something is about to happen with it.

FINAL SCENE EXPLAINED:
So in this scene, the American resistance has taken the facility where the portal is located from the Nazis, and we’ve got Juliana, Hawthorne, Wyatt and a bunch of others hanging out in the portal room as it fires itself up. And once the portal stabilizes, out walks a whole bunch of people. These folks just stroll right through the room, not really acknowledging the people who were already present. And Hawthorne, the Man in the High Castle himself, walks through the crown and into the portal.
It was a very moving moment for me to watch, even though I honestly do not understand what it means. Juliana says these people are coming from “everywhere” but that’s obviously very vague. Was this some kind of metaphor, with the souls of those killed in the past two decades of atrocities around the world returning? Or was it really, literally happening?

SHOWRUNNER ENDING EXPLAINED:
David Scarpa said the scene was intentionally ambiguous. “Part of the intention was to invite the audience to have their own interpretation of what they’re seeing on screen.” Though he does offer a tantalizing detail. “The portal is, essentially, open and it is going to remain open. In effect, what that means is two worlds have become one. There’s a doorway from one world into the next, and now people can move freely between them.”

MY FINAL TOUGHTS:
When it comes to the overall idea always kinda felt like the creatives behind “The Man in the High Castle”didn’t quite know what purpose the whole “traveling to alternate universes” thing had in the story being told. And now the series has ended after four seasons, with an ambiguous final scene that is all about that sci-fi hook, there’s still not a lot of clarity on that.
Since the show is over now, we’re probably never going to get a more real or informative answers to our many questions. But even though I have to admit that I enjoyed this show a lot,the cast was extraordinary and the Finale is giving me a Victory vibe.
