If anyone still wanted to read me pooping on The Unfunnies the thread's up in BSS and I've already run through issue 1

It's genuinely worse than I remembered and I'm kind of regretting this, but people knowing that Millar did this (and just how bad it is) is more important to me than my already fleeting sanity

That's cool of them, and something they should've been doing for a long time. The boys or girls toy thing was always real dumb, especially when it was like boys: Pokemon girls: barbie or something like that.

Personally as a person who works American Retail (which shares pretty much all facets of American Fast Food), I think people should more frequently say "Don't make a person who is making a sub livable wage feel even more like poo poo as they perform their obligations to their paymaster overlords".

Book 4 is literally nothing but the boring characters no one cares about except for Arya and gurm even acknowledged at the time, promising the cool characters in the second part of the book in a year or two.

7 years later

Actually it turns out gurm is just a lovely writer

See, it's poo poo like that that made me give up on the show. A Feast for Crows is great, probably the most well-written and interesting of the five books. But it doesn't have your favourite characters or enough badass moments so it's bad.

The MrBTongue video posted earlier uses the Septon Meribald scene to make it's point. That scene is emblematic of what makes A Feast for Crows great.

White flash, camera slow zooms out of Bran's eye. Jon, Arya, and Sansa are standing around him by the tree. He looks Jon dead in the eyes and goes "don't say a fuckin word"

At the end of the finale, Cersei wakes up with a start. She's just had a horrible dream where she was having sex with her brother. She turns to her husband, Bob Newhart.

Best way to end this show that I haven't seen but can't escape the reaction to it: show ends normally however it may end, then it pulls out from the scene and keeps going until the entire world is in view then keeps going until it's a spec in space and keeps going until space turns into an eye and keeps going until we see the face the eye belongs to: It's George R.R. Martin. It's him reading his latest draft. He shakes his head, crumples it up, throws it in the trash, turns to his 30 year old computer and begins typing.

What high-profile and generally well-regarded series has had a satisfying ending? I've heard Six Feet Under and Breaking Bad, but I've never seen them. It seems like most shows that become a big deal in pop culture have widely disliked or unsatisfying endings. I liked Lost and Battlestar Galactica at the end, but most people didn't.

The super ice zombie throws a sword of Valerian through the dragonfire and the magical feedback between the two causes an enormous white explosion engulfing the continent. Sound fades.

Somber music fades in. We're watching the events first hand from some unnamed character.The scene opens with an wagon driving four prisoners down a snowy
mountain pass. All are seated and bound; the one dressed in finery is gagged. One of them turns to address you.

'Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.'

Star Trek: TNG's "All Good Things..." I think is ranked pretty high.

Doing a quick search for 'best TV show endings, there's Breaking Bad (which I still haven't seen any of yet) but there's nothing else that really catches my eye apart from what's been mentioned.

I think the worst series finale I ever saw was the one for Sliders, but that was more to do with the show getting prematurely cancelled rather than it wrapping up properly.
