Feel annoyed by the last episode of The Office? Irked by what happened to Ahsoka Tano Star Wars: The Clone Wars? Infuriated by the writers’ forgetting who the protagonists of Justice League Unlimited were?
Well, this thread’s for you then. I’m sure it’s been done in the past – perhaps even by me – but [bold-faced lie] I don’t know how to link to other threads or to do searches, so there.
[/bold-faced lie] Or perhaps I just don’t like raising zombies, having been traumatized by The Walking Dead. Whatever.
Battlestar Galatica, as you are well aware. “God did it” is unsatisfactory. I want actual explanations/resolutions to multiple storylines, including but not limited to what the hell Starbuck, Baltar, and Six actually are, where Starbuck’s shiny viper came from, how her charred corpse doesn’t seem to limit her daily living activities, etc.; how a Bob Dylan song come to be written on the far side of the galaxy some 70,000 years before he was born, and what the significance of that song actually is.
I always wanted the finale of The Prisoner to feature Colin Gordon, not Leo McKern. After all he had been fabulous in The General and A, B & C… All that Degree Absolute stuff was stupid. But I guess they had to wrap it up somehow.
I was actually thinking about BG when I began this thread, Oak, and I knew you’d be bringing it up. The reason I didn’t mention it myself is-- having watched the entire series a couple of episodes a week over the last year–I have no freaking idea how to resolve the story’s problems.
Anyway, it’s not so much the God did it explanation that bothers me, but rather the stupidity of the “Let’s get rid of all our technology. It’s not like there’s such things as cholera in the universe” decision at the end.
Star Trek: EnterpriseThese are the Voyages… was one of the worst pieces of crap I’ve ever seen. There literly nothing redeeming about it. I’d strike the entire thing from canon, and let Terra Prime be the series finale.
Seinfeld - have them all sit in the same room for about five minutes and not say a single word. Finally Jerry says, “Well, we got nothin’ more to say.”
One by one they simply leave the room.
Jerry sits by himself a minute and then turns on TV to watch Friends.
Friends - have them sitting around feeling sorry for themselves now that they are all leaving to go elsewhere. In comes the movers - Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and George - Newman is the boss. After the Friends have left and the movers have taken everything from the room, have Bob Newhart poke his head in and say, “I wonder if this place is rent controlled?”
Oh come on people. 7 responses and LOST isn’t in the list yet? WTF?
Fortunately I only watched the show by the week for the last season, but I still wanted some goddamned answers and not that weak ass bullshit they were pedalling for the last episode either. Mother fuckers!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
I don’t recall the last episode of Happy Days but it should have ended with Chuck Cunningham laughing hysterically on the front lawn next to an empty gasoline can as his parents’ home goes up in flames.
Supposedly (iirc), he didn’t get to go home because he helped Al fix his life, and so he didn’t have a best friend, so there was no observer. BUT, he lept into Al once and screwed up badly enough (at first) that Al got replaced by some British dude. So, that’s bull.
He should have gone home, met his (sorta) daughter, and then they sat down together to work on their next project.
JAG–in the finale, they split up the office–some sort of official restructuring–and resolved the tension between the two main characters whose names I can’t remember, by having them agree to get married and flip a coin to see who gave up his/her career.
And the coin was still flipping when they went to credits.
Bah!
I’d much rather have seen a perfectly ordinary episode, and imagine that the next day would involve another court case, just like many we’d seen before, only we wouldn’t get to see them.
And maybe anyone who hadn’t taken a promotion or a transfer just so we’d have continuity would get their opportunity.
GMC is getting ready to show what was supposed to be the final episode of 7th Heaven and to me the writers should have gone ahead and had Simon and Rose get married since they were together that season. That only would have Sandy’s appearance at the end of the episode more interesting.
God bless you always!!!

P.S. Why did the writers have to write that Lucy miscarries both of her sons in the additional season of the show?
Baltar was an ordinary jerk whom higher beings decided to speak to in a way that was completely misleading to him and the audience.
Six was an artificial being that couldn’t be distinguished from a human except by Baltar’s ingenious test, which was inspired by the higher beings.
It’s less clear what Starbuck was. I think a ghost brought back by those higher beings sums it up the best.
I didn’t think it’s that confusing, except for the part about higher beings.
Doing a tie-in with ST:TNG may have been a good idea if it was about something. If the the fate of the newest Enterprise was linked to the first.
Instead it was Riker moping around being indecisive about his life so he puts in an old video tape. A big pile of nothing ending with a pointless death.
I thought it was pretty good.
I don’t see why anyone that stuck with the show once it started getting supernatural should be too disappointed.
Were it not for my carefully honed ability to suppress unpleasant memories, I would have a lengthy and withering retort for you sir and/or madame - WITHERING I say!!!
I thought you were talking about the British series.
LOL What a lousy ending that would have made, with Jim about to eat a poison cupcake. Leaving Pam a widow with two children. The closer could have been Dwight shooting his corpse.
Well, the way I remember it that’s the end we all meet, according to the show at least. I preferred it more then getting a laundry list of pat answers.
They killed the main characters in a cliffhanger to set up the next season, which by the time the episode aired, they knew wasn’t coming. Worst part is they had just wrapped (nearly) everything up. Cut less than 30 seconds from the end, and every fan leaves the series with a good, happy taste in their mouths.
And while there was a follow-up mini-series that brought our characters back to life, there was no reason to believe it would happen. The sets were struck almost immediately upon cancellation.
(Just watched that episode)
