The last ten minutes were cringy, but alternative endings would have been unsatisfying too. It was about on par with the ending of The Wire.

SterioDesign Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 i was not a huge fan of how things ended for many many characters in GOT and i felt there was a lot of missed opportunities but it didn't make me hate it. I'm always trying to differentiate not getting exactly what i expected or wanted and what is actually a flaw. These days there's quite a bit of people who cannot make the difference when they are watching something. If anything the pacing was either too stretched or too rushed once the big battle happened. That episode was actually amazing IMO. I guess once you've seen the finale for Dexter... it sets the bar pretty damn low for everything else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess once you've seen the finale for Alf... is sets the bar pretty damn low for everything else. edit: just checked... the rating on imdb for that one is over 7.... screw this. you have to be a maniac to appreciate the last episode of Alf. He got captured by the government, we know they were going to kill him and run a bunch of experimentations on him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Gonna chime in because I just finished my 4th or 5th run through The Wire. It's the perfect show to me with the perfect meta ending. As much as I would have loved to see a season or two more, the abrupt ending mirrored their investigations and wiretaps being shut down at a moment's notice.

Yep, might be time to do a re-watch on that one, it’s been a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you watched it since it was converted into HD? No more 4:3 aspect ratio either. It looks great now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time in ages I logged on and clicked on this thread to see what if there were developments with Taylor Hall contract talks and instead only learned how Alf ended lol. Ended about as well as Hall's tenure in New Jersey I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened... all made sense in a way... it was rushed and not well executed i feel but still.. i think it's mostly a case of people not getting what they wanted. Like i can understand all the decisions mostly. But Dexter... that's really a... why in hell would you end it like this? Not gonna spoil anything but one person really never deserved what happened to her. Terrible terrible decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
