We all get attached and addicted to our various favourite shows, but really, are there many worse things than when it’s the final ever episode? It’s the day that you’ve been dreading for, potentially, years and most of the time it’s incredibly disappointing. I understand that there’s so much pressure on the writers to wrap it all up, but how many series finale’s have you seen that you’ve actually been satisfied with? Seriously, let us know because I’m dying to see something wrap up decently.
Anyway, here we have, the 5 most disappointing TV series endings:
5. Lost
In the beginning we bothered. We studied graphs and charts. We looked atscreenshotsuntil we went cross eyed. Latin was translated, old books by Locke and Rousseau finally came in handy, andwhat the what with the foot? And then, just like that, we gave up. It was too much. So we let it go. Given we might havent had a clue what was going on at times, but it was much more relaxing that way.
And the end, with the dog and all, made us bawl. For us, it was all about the characters after all. And from that perspective, the end made sense. Even if you hated it,please dont be these people. Lindelofs poor headwill implode.
4. Dexter
The last season of Dexter was all over the place. But we, perhaps foolishly, thought there were would be a pay off at the end. What we didnt expect was Dexter the lumber jack. Yes, we do understand it is a sort of purgatory for Dexter, but still its the same guy who chopped people up on the regular.
3. The Soprano’s
We would love to debate what the Sopranos ending was all about, but to be frank with you, we dont have a clue. Was Tony killed after leaving the restaurant (as one popular theory goes)? Were we supposed to ponder the meaning of life and the deeper existential issues (if so, we are afraid it went right over our heads)? Or was it just a crafty way to leave things open in case an opportunity for a feature movie presented itself? We will never know.
2. Battlestar Galactica
Remember how intense the first season of Battlestar Galatica was? It was SO good. It tackled so many topics from theology and religion to terrorism, survival, politics, ecology, you name it. The ending on the other hand was all over the place. Some questions were answered. Others were not. And people were left frustrated.
1. Seinfeld
76 million people watched the finale of Seinfeld. 76 MILLION! You would think that for a series that was so popular they would come up with a more interesting ending (Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer end up in prison for violating the Good Samaritan law). Then again a) it was a show about nothing, so the ending was suitable bizarre and b) at least Seinfeld had enough common sense to end on a high.
