Bad Endings to a Tv show

[MrBlonde]

Glad to see no mentions of The Sopranos yet, one of the greatest endings ever. A lot of people seem to hate it though.

It wasn't until I read an article describing the final scene that I appreciated the finale. It def went over my head, but the use of POV in that scene makes it clear that the screen going black was Tony dying, It was a very detailed article that gave a lot of evidence- including discussing the hitman (guy in Member's Only jacket) and his movement, as well as the way the camera shots alteranted between Tony's POV and regular shots- and was very convincing.

It shows a lot of artistry, but unfortunately it was too artistic for most of us and we got the feeling that everything was left up in the air, when in fact it was a very definite, final and masterful resolution.

I'm STILL conflicted about the ending, can't decide if I love it or hate it!

Are you referring to the way the ending was composed or the fact that Tony got whacked?

Breaking Bad gets my vote. It was way too clean. It just didn't feel plausible at all and continued the show's long stretch of character inconsistencies with Walt.

Talk about extraordinarily high standards.

I was shocked by the confusion about Lost's ending. Jack's father even explains the show in the final moments. "Everything happened, but now you died. Everyone else eventually died too, some before you. Some after you. Now you're all meeting here to let go and move on". That explains the timeline and flash-sideways stuff.

Shocking how many people thought they all died on the original flight.

I always find it amusing when people want everything spelled out to them than complain when something IS because they didn't understand it at all! I'm also someone who likes endings that big groups of people don't. Maybe because I'm more inclined to allow the writers of the stories to well end the story the way they wanted. I loved the ending of Battlestar Galactica and was shocked at how many just hated it!
