I like it! Very clever and more entertaining than the way the writers really ended it.
I would have ended Dukes of Hazard with the boys jumping the General Lee over a shark. 
Almost any sitcom would be better if a random sociopath killed all main charactors in the final episode.
Sock Munkey, have you ever read or seen the play No Exit by Sarte? I think you’d enjoy it.
Odo wasn’t killed off. He went to the Gamma Quadrant. I thought that was really cheesy, myself. If he had been killed off, it would’ve been fine with me. I thought the whole Bashir finds the Cure in Sloane’s mind episode to be really insulting… just like the deus ex machina crap they pulled with having the Prophets closing the wormhole. Not to mention Sisko’s mom being a Prophet and all that. Guh.
DS9’s my favorite Trek series but they really screwed around too much with some of the more metaphysical episode.
I’d’ve been happy if they had cloned Winn Adami like the Dominion cloned Weyoun so we could’ve seen her die in twenty different agonizing ways.
No complaints here. I never liked Worf anyway.
Nooo! Big ass space armadas, battles, and explosions rock! It allowed us to see the seedier underbelly of the Federation and got rid of that utopian sappy taste that you get from watching too much TNG.
No, that doesn’t work because of the episode where he went back to the center and remembered he had a wife. That clearly established that his living body was back in the center and he wasn’t a ghost.
It doesn’t get any better than Bob Newhart sitting up in bed with Suzanne Pleshette beside him and saying, “I just had the weirdest dream.”
If there were a national referendum mandating that ALL television shows* end their final episodes with that scene, I’d vote for it.
*[sub]Yes, I include Survivor, American Idol, and Sixty Minutes in this.[/sub]
Thank you! It’s nice to be appreciated.
Nope, but you have my curiosity up now so I’ll try and find so I can give it a read.
I kinda like the way DS9 ended. Sisko never really clicked with me, so I didn’t mind his turning into a spirit (or whatever that was that effectively killed him off). I was more upset that Odo returned to the Founders.
I agree that Kai Winn’s death needed to be longer and much more painful 
Also, I wasn’t very satisfied with Star Trek: Voyager’s ending. They definitely needed a wrap-up episode.
Just before the series finale, I read in TV Guide that they had written two different final episodes for Voyager. One where they made it home safely, and one where they didn’t. I wonder how the “didn’t make it” version would have gone.
KA-BOOM!
The “didn’t make it” ending ep of Voyager should’ve been like the Year In Hell ep.
Just have things get worse and worse, killing off evry major character except Chacotay.
Then, bring back the aliens from another dimension. Or the Dinosaurs! Yeah, the Dinosaurs. They want to access Voyager’s computr for all they can find out about humans because the guys in charge want to end once and for all the “ilegal” concept of “distant origins.”
Realising that all of humanity is at risk, Chacotay, the only one on the show who showed himself to be able to think beyond his own self, made the agonizing choice to destroy Voyager completely, sacrificing himself and the hundred or so left of the skeleton crew to save our butts. Our = Earth/Federation. The truly selfless part? No one would ever know it. No final subspace messages, lest the Dino follow it. No time capsual space bouy with final messages, lest the Dinos figure something out from it.
Just a final scene (much like climax of Titanic) showing the absolute last thing happening to each group of crew members.
Finally, the sensaitve Chacotay, eyes filled with tears, pushes a button himself (he wouldn’t even let the computer possibly foul it up).
Final scene:
U.S.S. Voyager, battered and broken, surrounded by Dino ships… a dark nebula in the bakground allowing only a smattering of stars to shine through… NO SOUND AT ALL…
Then, a soundless explosion, visually like Praxis going boom in STVI:TUD…
Closing credits over a SOUNDLESS space scene… the Dino ships moving off… all we see is the Dark Nebula.
That’s how I would’ve ended Voyager
Dude, I can’t believe I’m sayin’ this… especially to you, but that rocked.
I have icredible bouts of creativity when I’m depressed.
Check your email.
Excellent ending, NoClueBoy, except for that final scene.
it needs Bob Newhart.
One of the Dino ships is named D.S.S. Bob Newhart
Or, Newhart does a StarFleet press conference, stuttering, hesitations and all, explaining that Voyager has missed the last three expected call ins and is presumed lost.
Then, he does one of those funny phone call skits of his to the Borg, since that’s what everyone will think happened.
See, I wrote this in place of “The Truth” to amuse philes http://www.geocities.com/theevilwriter/nearpurple.doc What do you think?
I’ll resurrect this thread on May 21 because I’m pretty sure the series finale of BtVS will disappoint and piss me off.
I watched the last episode of Cheer just waiting for the moment when Cliff would finally snap. He was definitely one of the most profoundly disturbed characters ever to appear in a sitcom.
Would it disappoint and piss you off even if they have Bob Newhart waking up and telling Suzanne Plesh–
OW!
Okay, I’ll stop now.
