[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 446014, member: 8"] If the idea is to keep TV series and especially soaps viable for as long as possible then it makes sense that a series ends when it ends, no matter how it ends. I mean, it could be worse: that the soap outlives you. If I'm watching something in a completist fashion (even if I'm no longer enjoying it) then I'll probably just want relief (and then, somehow, I'm still upset that it has ended). DAMAGES, TYRANT, THE GOOD WIFE, NIP/TUCK all had satisfying endings. THE AMERICANS came up with a beautiful ending, that doesn't happen very often. Overall I think the real payoff is in the season finales, to see how the most recent storylines come together. As for that "most infamous TV series ending", it was based on a series of books that[I][B] still[/B][/I] needs to be finished. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong. [/QUOTE]
