the first 5 seasons of Supernatural really do supremely own in a lovely TV way and there are some episodes that are straight up great. IIt's like a B-movie X files basically. The leads are really good and have good chemistry, there's a reason they are the biggest Ship targets in history Love how every fight between demigods, transdimensional beings, reincarnated deities, etc, is a fistfight in a room or a field.

I hope everyone knew I was being sarcastic about the ending of St. Elsewhere. I think it's hard to find TV series with good endings because for a long time the approach to TV shows was  and that they would keep them running as long as possible, long past the point they should, and often ended up just getting canceled.In recent memory I'd say Schitt's Creek had a good ending. Weeds managed a decent ending after almost loving itself irreparably in that awful roadtrip season. Angel had an awkward ending they tried to make as decent as possible because they didn't get renewed for stupid egotistical dick-swinging reasons and had to come up with a conclusion about a season too soon.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Angel had an awkward ending they tried to make as decent as possible because they didn't get renewed for stupid egotistical dick-swinging reasons and had to come up with a conclusion about a season too soon. It has the right message for the wrong reasons, to the point of being excellent black humor. "The rich oligarchs are entrenched, unstoppable, bottomlessly corrupt, and will never ever let things get better. We're in a position where we can really hurt them. It's not going to stop them, it might not even delay them for long, and we're definitely doomed if we do it...but not only is it the right thing to do but no one else is going to have this kind-of shot again and it's worth doing just to send that message." Me watching as a kid: Oh wow that's a mature and reasoned take on the hopeless Class War that was lost over a decade before I was born. How noble and tragic. What a man of the people to use his platform to actually say things that other pop art is too chickenshit to even touch. "Oh and we're doing it because my rich Bougie rear end had my feelings hurt by my bosses and I mouthed off about it. It'll come out soon that I was abusing my position and the people under me for years, and only got away with it because I'm functionally identical to the oligarchs I rail against in this one show. Also I'm going to make a home movie version of Shakespeare with all my employees set in my personal mansion and you'll get to see in intimate detail just how privileged I am." Me recognizing this as an adult: Oh wow Joss Whedon. Aren't you a piece of poo poo?

I enjoy SUPERNATURAL, it's fine to enjoy it. We don't have to pretend it's actually a bad TV show that you can only enjoy ironically. It's not a ten episode prestige drama show no, but it is a good genre show with two good central performances (well I'd argue one really good* and one...less than that, but they have great chemistry) a ton of great side characters usually played by always welcome character actors. Some gnarly gore and for the first 5 seasons at least, a well built central plot. I can't disagree with not like the later seasons. It goes off the rails for a bit but manages to come together again somehow before admittedly ended in a way that was polarising to say the least. Granted, this is all in the framework of a weekly procedural show, so you're dealing with 22 episodes a season. The flaws in SUPERNATURAL are usually inherent to the format itself. After a certain point you're just going to zone out until something grabs your attention again. *It's pretty telling that Eric Kripke cast one of the leads on a show he created but hasn't worked on for most of the time it was on air for THE BOYS as soon as he became available.

3rd Rock from the sun. Seriously, they all pile in and bring along Mary. It was a great ending. And on the futurama chat from last page: bad futurama is better than no futurama. Some of the second run was downright awful, but there are always gems hidden below the surface.

Damnit, now I'm going to need to rewatch it. I think they talked about wiping her, but wound up deciding to bring her along. I'll find the last episode and watch it again. E: wiki confirms you are correct, it appears my mind wanted the happier ending. Still a good finale though. When I think of the ending, Mary is there in the Rambler waiting to go with them, it's just picturesque in my mind and makes me smile.

3rd rocks ending was bad, they chickend out of the original idea and leave a brain damaged Mary behind in a life where she doesn't remember her partner or any of his family she interacted with for years. Her workmates, family and friends (not to mention the cops) will be full of questions about a family that utterly vanish she does not remember despite being in photos and videos with them.

chainchompz posted:I thought Adventure Time had a good ending all things considered. Can't say I agree with this take  The first few seasons are pretty great, it captured the 'lol random nonsense' aspects of 80s/90s cartoons really well and just had a hint of more serious worldbuilding sprinkled around. IMO it falls off the rails when they got too far up their own asses and started to go full in on "no really every single character has a tragic grimdark origin story and they've been fighting through the trauma all this time" and season-long minimovie arcs. The series finale was a battle royale out of nowhere featuring antagonists we'd only met earlier that (short) season after being pulled right out of the writers' asses, and we were supposed to care about them or about this series-spanning conflict that had been going on for the whole show but we only just saw it 6 episodes ago? I DON'T THINK SO  BMO is OK as a supporting character but their whole thing is blindly stumbling through the world around them and that really doesn't work for a protagonist carrying a narrative, so yeah the first HBOMax episode was pretty meh.

The Shield ending might be my favourite, and it's because it's about more than just Vic being legally stuck in an office job he hates. His former best friend killed himself, his wife, their son, and unborn child. Because of poo poo the strike team did. Ronnie is likely going to die in prison, because of poo poo that the strike team did to Antwon Mitchell. Not just die of old age from a probably life sentence; he'll likely be killed. Kavanaugh, while he didn't show up in the episode, was almost completely vindicated. Aceveda, too. Vic even mentions in his confession how Aceveda knew the whole time (not officially, but he was properly suspicious). Speaking of, that confession in Possible Kill Screen is INCREDIBLE. Vic's the dirtiest cop imaginable, one who orchestrated the death of another cop for his own gain, who killed when it suited him, to get his way, and he's finally able to legally get away from ALL of it... at the expense of the lives of those leftover (Shane, Shane's family, Ronnie). His best friends are dead and gone because of their selfish actions, and he once again serves himself at the end. The ending to The Shield should be considered the last two episodes. The whole thing is incredibly tragic and brutal, and the one guy who deserves a comeuppance gets it in the most unexpected way. To me, it's perfect. I also really enjoyed the ending to season 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15EoiIKT7fo That moment from when Vic shows up super happy about the money, to lose that feeling when he looks at the guys, and they all realize it's a pile of blood money. Goddamn I love The Shield. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Jan 15, 2022 |

I really liked the ending of The Office. I was a bit late to catch on to that show. My wife and I rented the first few seasons from Blockbuster during a particularly snowy winter and I started watching first-run episodes on season four. The last few seasons after Steve Carell left were very hit or miss (mostly miss), but in the final season the original showrunner came back and the last handful of episodes were fun again. The finale tied the whole thing up nicely and it was pretty cool how they kept up the thing with Dwight listening to Motley Crue by playing one of their lesser known songs "Angela" at the wedding reception.

It's similar to THE SHIELD in a way in that Tony essentially gets away, only to be stuck in such an existential torment that he can't even go to a diner with his family without seeing a threat everywhere he looks. And that's his life until the day he's done.

Can't remember where it was posted, but some Sopranos fan went back and found a point where someone, maybe Tony himself, said something to the effect of "when you're taken out, you'll never see it coming. You could be doing anything, could be anywhere, and then bam... blackness". Pretty much spells out that Tony's dead.
