First, he was in a relationship with Shannon, right? He cheated on her with his best mates gf, when they thought the best mate was dead. He stays over at the best friends gf's house even after they find out that the mate is still alive. He is rude and obnoxious with Shannon, who also was close with the best mate. THEN no apologies, no explanations, just jump in and propose to Shannon. WTH?

I know the show is ending and all, and they want to end it with Lawson and Shannon together, but some realism to it all, please. Who in their right mind would agree to marrying a guy who pretty much stumbled out of another woman's bed.
Who in their right mind would propose?

I honestly found a few of the characters to be confusing and changing a lot.

You've already stated your feelings on Lawson, which I agree with.

On another note, I expected a lot more of Michael's character after he displayed some strange personality issues early on. I picked up on this and kept expecting the writers to turn him into a real bad ass. They could have done so much with this guy, instead they made him into more of a regular guy, then let him fade away and then get shot and die.

This show just did so may strange things, especially in the 3rd season.
They did the same to Michael as they did to Dom, let him fade away then brought him back for the dramatic kill.
They did the same thing to Christian as they did to Dom, turn a fun character who loves his wife and child into a cheater.
Dumbed down Leon while giving the not so bright porn star his former edge.
Stella, just how on earth has she remained a cop is beyond me.
