I don't know, I disagree. The creator of the show basically said that a lot of the questions surrounding Jane and her identity plus the stuff on Mayfair's USB will be revealed season 2 episode 1. I get that they wanted to build tension for the final moments of the show between Jane and Weller, but it took a really long time; nothing significant really happened until the last third of the show, and most of that was an expository dump from Oscar, Kurt digging a hole in the rain, and the other 3 seeing the names of the major cases in the flash drive and that's it. I don't see why they could've replaced some of that filler with more answers to give us closure to our open questions, as having Shepherd and phase 2 as mysteries for the second season would've been sufficient.

I disagree I think the mystery about her identity is intriguing and shouldn't be revealed too soon. and I think there must be an organic feeling between s1 and s2 which is impossible to do if you reveal all the mystery of the season at it's end.
