terrible endings to wonderful things

edited April 2009 in Social Entropy++
having just watched the final episode of battlestar galactica and been subsequently filled with an unquenchable rage at the fact that they actually ended like they did, I began to think of other good things that have ended badly

for example

bernie mac

dogg died of pneumonia

talk about shit that was once good that ended up as shit y'all

    Mission Hill was killed off when only 6 episodes were aired on WB. Only 13 were ever finished and they were on Adult Swim and such for a while. Now on DvD...


    The show was way ahead of its time with the first animated gay male kiss in the pilot.

    The show has gone on for 20 seasons now.

    It was only good for eight, maybe nine, depending on who you ask.

    I think it's safe to say that since the majority is now bad, The Simpsons doesn't qualify as a "wonderful thing."

    The ending to BSG was fine.
    Just because the ending wasn't what you wanted, doesn't mean the ending is horse shit.

    it's still for the most part a great show, and worth watching

    just, don't expect great things from the final episode

    So you're saying just because I think the ending was shit doesn't mean I should think the ending was shit?

    Poor show never got a proper ending. At least it introduced me to Ian McShane.

    Pretty much?
    You and sars already nerd raged your hatred for the ending in the BSG thread, so there really is no point in continuing this.
    I loved the ending. If you didn't, then that's your problem.

    dogg the things that pissed me off the most were
    the shameless use of deux ex machina, and the fact that really there is no way that they would probably be able to survive as they were when they left behind all their technology

    I'm not saying Serenity was bad

    I'm talking about Wash being dead.

    Firefly was great, and now Wash is dead, and that's terrible

    i thought we were rating on a badness scale and not a sadness scale

    the point is

    i need to rewatch firefly

    It's true, Fari

    Due Vendetta isn't a bad song but putting it right after the fucking huge musical robotgasm that is Sons of Fate was a poor move

    Glad to see you're still an idiot. :^:

    I honestly can't comprehend how anyone could have thought that a good finale

    like, I'm legitimately curious

    I guess it worked on a thematic level but, in terms of the shows own set bounds of realism it really didn't hold up
