Most disappointing ending to an episode

If you mean The Search, pt. II, then I agree.
D'oh! Yes, I do. Original post edited. Although I wouldn't have minded if The Chase had been a 2-parter...

WYLB 2...not b/c it sucked but b/c it was so danged sad. I don't cry from TV but that scene and The Visitor makes me cry like a little school girl
Oh man... is it possible to delete a thread b/c of embarrassment?!

LoL, well, The Chase is the TNG episode where we get a sort of explanation at the end of why so many Trek aliens look so similar.
The Search is a two-part DS9 episode that I personally consider to be DS9's biggest downer as far as payoff for a great setup is concerned. So I thought maybe you meant The Search because this is the DS9 forum. Sorry
I was going to say that Klingon one which spends the entire episode building up to a badass battle and then... ends! Ends with them all singing.
But then you reminded me of The Search pt. 2 and, yeah, that was way worse.

You know what other one really sucked? The one where O'Brien lives out a 20 year prison sentence in 20 minutes and doesn't know how to deal with the return to the real world so he's about to kill himself at the end of the episode until Bashir has a poorly written heart to heart with him. The ending was pretty bad, but even worse was that Chief O'Brien's suicide attempt - a major character moment, mind you - was NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN.
Given what we know about Jake and Ben and The Visitor, What You Leave Behind left me wanting one more thing. I wanted a heart to heart well written final scene between Brooks and Loften. I wanted a culmination of a Father raising his son on the Station, but while the son was all grown up, I still wanted something between the two of them. Heck, instead of Kassidy, he should have pulled in Jake and just talked to him, and have Jake send the message to her.
One of the very few things that disappointed me in WYLB.
Another vote for The Search Part II.
Excellent plot and writing but no continuity. Felt very TNGish. Dude's been thru enough, should have happened to somebody else
That would have been as equally a poor decision as what we got. All that would change is that we would complain that Sisko didn't talk to the woman he defied the Prophets over to marry and the mother of his unborn child. It should have been both of them.
Apart from that I think WYLB ended well, people moved on, Quark had a good last line and there was a touching final moment with Kira and Jake as the camera pulls back, which would have still worked if Jake talked to his dad.
"Doctor Bashir, I presume..." I found to have a semi disappointing ending just because it wrapped up Bashir being a genetically engineered human so nice and neatly. However, Rom getting the hot chick was funny/sweet.
"Sacrifice of Angels" for the wormhole prophets deus ex machina. I just can't believe this came from a Star Trek show.
Think if "BOBW" had ended with Riker calling on Q to bail the Enterprise out with the Borg Cube on its way toward Earth.
not a very well written conclusion to the DS9 occupation arc.
