And I wasn't angry with the Lost finale, when everyone else was sharpening their pitchforks!!!Lol
I wasn't angry about the LOST finale because I had long since seen the writing on the wall and given up on a cogent and reasonable ending. They had already swerved and circled and detoured so much I knew there was no way they could write a decent finale. By the time it rolled around I just didn't care.
And I didn't care much about Rectify either. From S4E1, I thought I knew what they would do. Season 4 was Rectify: Retold in Eight Episodes. It could have been darker, or Walton-like, as it was, and it would have been the same to me.
The XFiles, now; that one really disappointed me. And from being so invested in it, I've learned not to trust series television or expect much.
It may be impossible to create completely satisfactory endings to a beloved and popular series. They almost never make everyone happy. Mad Men is still under discussion. And even Breaking Bad, which ended almost the only way it could have, has its detractors. A thankless task, apparently, writing series finales.
