vote for your worst tv finale
Worst Tv show finale ever?
- Thread starter TheMasterOfOrion
- Start date
Enterprise was pretty lame, but Roseanne was a big giant turd in the punchbowl of everyone who followed the show for all those years. I watched faithfully because it seemed so honest and real. Funny and poignant. Perhaps closer to a real family than any other show at the time.
The whole last season was crap, but the finale was, IMHO, an insult.
Hates it! HATES IT!

I love how this thread is a not-so-veiled slam of BSG. Again.
Out of the ones listed only Enterprise would generally be considered really awful, unless Felicity had an abominable finale and I just didn't know (never seen it).

But the poll is dominated by scifi
As for Stargate. SG1 or Atlantis? Pick one, I heard both finales were equally awful
Silly of me
I forgot on the trekbbs BSG has about as many rabid fans as Britney has on youtube
Welcome to my blocklist
PS
your pulsating epileptic seizure inducing Avatar was extremely annoying
I thought all shows were equally bad
Multiple Choice Votes!
That's why I shotgun blasted the lot

BSG, for the reasons elaborated in that thread we just had.
Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

X-Files probably... it was a clip show where nothing happened and nothing was resolved. Followed closely by Deep Space Nine, where the climactic final battle was 90% reused footage and had the stupidest goddamn possible way to end the Pagh Wraith storyline you could ever image in your fever addled nightmares.
Well, at least Endgame was about Voyager.
TATV has nothing to do with ENT. at all.
It's like making the last episode of M*A*S*H* about the Jeffersons.
These Are The Voyagers - Wasn't a huge Enterprise fan (though I did enjoy it) , but that episode seemed like a "Fuck you" to the fans who had kept the show on for 4 seasons
My write in vote goes to The X-Files "The Truth"

Yeah, there's no X-Files option in this poll. The X-Files would win, hands down.
Mulder gets captured by evil government forces which are secretly controlled by evil aliens. He's trialed for treason Guantanamo-style. During the trial, numerous flashbacks (= stock footage) summarize what has happened during the course of the show. Some behind-the-scenes deal secures Mulder's release. Then the Cigarette-Smoking Man is blown up. That's basically the "plot" of the series finale. Nothing else of importance happens.
(Ah, and I'll vote Enterprise in this poll.)

I disagree with you on that one. Endgame was a masterpiece compared to TATV. If TATV had been just a regular episode, it would have been a mildly amusing distraction. As a series finale, it sucked ass.
I don't know about another thread, but I thought the BSG finale was pretty good! And I was a lukewarm watcher of the show. By the end I was just hanging on to see how it ended. I thought they did a rather nice job.

Yes - about betraying everything the crew stood for, and pairing the characters up in the lamest way imaginable. I'm so glad they didn't make it a decent TNG ep.
Wait. No, I'm not.
This is probably a bad idea to ask but why do people hate "Endshame" so much? It brought back Alice Kirge as the Borg Queen, Future Janeway was interesting, they defeated the Borg and got home... sure it was stoopid that it ENDS right when they get home but aside from that it was as good as the rest of the series. I also didn't think "These are the Voyages" was so terrible. *ducks* And the BSG Finale was great!

I dunno, the stupid time plot that so vigorously defies sense, the batmobile armour, the complete and total lack of closure, Chakotay/Seven, take your pick, there's reasons aplenty.

Which is the rub, no? I get why people object to it on principle, but since I simply didn't care (and liked the general thrust of TATV's idea - it's the finale of a whole era of Trek, not just ENT) it's not something I found quite equal to Endgame in badness.
I wasn't a Voyager fan, but I disliked the finale mostly because it made Janeway look like a giant bitch who cared about exactly one person on the crew - Seven of Nine (which makes her a lot like the writers, too). We've seen dozens of crewmen die horribly over the seasons, but Admiral Janeway is curiously uninterested in going back seven or so more years and saving any of them. Yep, she's basically messing with all of time and space to save one person. And an annoying one at that.
I didn't think Endgame was that bad, but it would have been better to solve the problem without time travel. It also would have been more compelling had Chakotay and Seven evolved naturally over the years, rather than be thrown together as an afterthought.
And I do think they should have shown them arrive at Earth, at least disembark and hug their loved ones.
I gave it about a C+.
