I dunno, I think both "Eastern" and "A history..." endings are just quite... endings
I mean, in both cases I was kinda "fullfilled" by the previous stuff, and didn't care much for the actual "endings" in a way...it's kinda hard to explain.. but yes, the ending is the only "weak spot" to be found. "A history..." ending is shot better and is more interesting to an extent, but it leaves you thinking "uh?...ok"...
