So, we are talking only about series finales, not season finales?

I loved series finales of "Dawson's Creek", "Friends", "Charmed", "Dead like me", "Pushing daisies".

I absolutely HATED series finale of "Dirty sexy money" last year. HATED IT.

There was nothing strained about the SEX AND THE CITY friendships.

The fact that they each had their own storylines and were in their own worlds really means nothing--by that point, two of them were married and the other two were in serious, committed relationships. It's only realistic if they had a little less time for each other. But they had gone through a lot and were always very real to each other.

For me it wasn't about having less time together, it was about the emotional support systems they once had together no longer being believable. Charlotte in particular seemed to have less and less of a believable bond with them once she married and began getting closer to having children. Most of her fears and vulnerabilities were related more to her friend played by Mario Cantone.

A similar thing happened with Carrie and Stanford. There seemed to be a growing distance between them in the last few years of the show, and when they did have a few quick moments together, it felt a bit forced.

I always felt like with the finale, the girls lost a part of themselves because life kind of pulled them in different directions.

and then when they need eachother the most, they are reunited, and by that happening they are complete again.

Ding-dong.

Carl's views seem to be viewes of a bitter viewer, who somehow feels cheated, 'tricked' by the show and resents watching it. I'm not saying Carl is bitter, it just seems so different from what I've seen on screen. Their friendship was very believable up to the very end.

I can somewhat agree to this--it's true that Charlotte grew very close to Anthony but I wouldn't put that down as a bad thing. It was another part of her life (which means she was more dimensional) and what I said earlier about their lives pulling them apart propably applies to Charlotte the most. But, as JP said, they were never full without each other and part of the uncomfortable feeling I presume came from that.

Well, indeed, Stanford's appearandces lessed significantly as the show moved on to the end. He didn't have more than 3-4 episodes during Season 6, if that :lol: But I suspect Michael Patrick King didn't like the character all that much. The more power he had (starting mainly with Season 3 and definitely after he became headwriter), the less of Stanford we saw. In that context, I saw the Carrie/Stanford friendship suffering. But not between the girls.

:wub: The power of this show.

Great finales:

* 24!!! (I'm still shocked, amazed and sad about the ending of 24. Jack is the ultimate hero, and will forever live on!)

* Third Watch!!! (So unbeliveble sad, but yet what an amazing finale. They should've gotten one more season though. Grrr!

Loved that last scenes when we got to see what happend to everybody. Sully went to the station and watched them "take it down", we saw Bosco running the streets chasing after bad guys ("...balls out, every day, every job, kickin ass, takin names, being the police!") and everyone else. And that last scene when Sully was at his lake fishing... "Craap!" Loved it! :D )

Third Watch - 6x22 - Goodbye to Camelot (final scenes)

* SATC

* Alias

* Stargate Atlantis

* Dawson's Creek ( Buhuu, I cried so much dirng this last episode. Good one though)

* Felicity

* Dollhouse

"So so" finales:

* Angel ( Wasn't supposed to be the last season. They had to hurry it up which resulted in that eding.)

* The Unit

* Buffy

Horrible finales:

* Las Vegas ( I know it was cancelled and wasn't suppsed to end that way. I was so mad, heck I still am about that ending)

* Veronica Mars (Just like LV it was also cancelled too close to the final episode. One of my favorite shows and I'm still VERY upset about the ending!! The new season that didn't happend looked really good too!)

To be fair, I don't think they thought that'd be the series finale for DSM :(

I can more or less agree with that, but I still thought the finale was the wrong tone and all wrong (I think I kinda resented so much of the final eps being in Paris too but I suppose that's silly)

      Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy!

      5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.

      The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.

      So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???

      Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)

      Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.
