I was talking about that last shot in TRF with different people - general consensus was that it was gratuitous, and I thought so at first. BUT, BUT. So, if you have a passing knowledge of canon, you know he's still alive (also, S3), and so, to my mind, that last scene is entirely for affect. He's seen John, he knows by John's body language (!!!!!!!!!) how much his death has affected John. God, he's saying goodbye, I think. And so I kind of love it now. I didn't before, but now I kind of do.
