- laughing. This is surprisingly accurate for dignan, I think. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:48 13
  - so when did leaving dozens of storylines dangle and deadends become acceptable? before sopranos certainly -- nm - zdroid May 25, 17:54 12
    - When the characters became lovable enough to negate the plot. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:56 11
      - You and I are on the same page here. The ending isn't supported by quite a bit of what they introduced - TWuG May 25, 18:00 2
        
        Kim and I were just talking about this. - David May 25, 18:24 1
        
        I think a zen approach is needed for the ending to work. It's probably the most appropriate approach - TWuG May 25, 18:33
      - I don't usually say this, but you are so wrong. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:57 7
        
        Nonsense. "Don't fuck your audience" should be the golden rule of television writing. - Dignan May 25, 18:00 5
        
        I enjoyed trying to figure out what was important and what wasn't. - loosilu May 25, 18:07 4
        
        Stop saying "spoon fed." - Dignan May 25, 18:17 1
        
        I wouldn't say arbitrary. sometimes a dead end was a clear dead end. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 18:31
        
        On what basis were you able to figure that out? -- nm - mara May 25, 18:16 1
        
        hit and miss. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 18:30
        
        I say it a lot. (nm) - David May 25, 17:58
I was working on the (reasonable) assumption that I wasn't being fucked with. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:34 12
- I wonder if the writers considered the idea that they could make the ending about love and heaven *and* still tie up loose ends. -- nm - Inigo May 25, 17:44 1
  - You're an idiot to expect this much from a TV show. I mean, come on. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:48
- It's a TV show. Why would that be a reasonable assumption? -- nm - Roger More May 25, 17:42 8
  - "You're dumb for expecting it to be narratively consistent and logical" is an unacceptable criticism. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:46 6
    - I thought it became clear after a couple of seasons that there were far too many twists, inconsistencies, and dead ends for them to ever be able - loosilu May 25, 17:47 5
      - I think a room full of gifted writers could have answered 90% of those loose ends within the framework they were dealing with. nm - Dignan May 25, 17:49 4
        
        I truly don't mind the loose ends. It made things fun. -- nm - loosilu May 25, 17:53
        
        It would have been nice if they'd tried more. Ah well. -- nm - David May 25, 17:51
        
        so you are mad they didn't gift wrap everything with a bow? seriously? -- nm - Beaker May 25, 17:50 1
        
        Everything, no. A huge chunk of those glaring ommissions, *of course.* nm - Dignan May 25, 17:54
  - cause no other show ever has done it before! none ever!!! -- nm - Beaker May 25, 17:43
- You're so gullible. -- nm - mara May 25, 17:40
word -- nm - Beaker May 25, 17:34
