Are there people that actually like the finale of a show they religiously watch? I can't seem to think of a single series finale that left me feeling satisfied with how things ended.

Shows should go on to live forever, like our pets.

I really liked the Twin Peaks ending because of how it went full Lynch, but that's really the only example I can think of.

Babylon 5's finale was next to perfect. (Babylon what??)

The thing about finales, obviously, is that no matter how good they are, how well they tie things up or answer questions, we're always going to hate them, as it means the end of your show, maybe your favourite show. I think the best you can hope for is that a) all questions are answered before the end and b) all loose ends are tied up.

What I hate is when a series ends mid-season (cancelled) or with questions still left as to how it might have turned out, if the network doesn't order the next season (cancelled too, but kind of in a different way). There's nothing worse than investing your time in a series, getting to know the characters, wondering how it's gonna turn out and then BAM! The big hammer of cancellation falls. Yeah, axe. I meant axe. The big axe of cancellation.

I think that sometimes writers will include cliffhangers as a bargaining tactic for renewal. Works in some cases, while in others the network just says '**** your smaller audience'.

It's really annoying when that happens. Like the end of season two of the "reimagined" V. What a cliffhanger, and never to be resolved as it was cancelled. God. Damn. It.

He faked his own death and rode off into the sunset with Wilson on motorcycles.
