Seeing people who are terrified of their own mortality trying to nitpick this show is hilarious. One day you will die, perception will end forever, you will cease to be. No amount of begging and pleading with an invisible sky wizard will change that. The idea of an afterlife is at best a comforting fiction and at worst sheer denial of the inevitable. This show has already rejected all known religions and deities, why get pissy now at the idea.that there isn't going to be some last minute swerve to assure viewers that they can ignore confronting their own mortality in lieu.of believing in an afterlife?

Sitcoms then: The ending sucked, it was a glorified clip show.

Sitcoms now: The ending sucked, it didn't present a flawless representation of a universally perfect afterlife.

I think the door is a metaphor for the show killing itself because it ran out of jokes.

The door is a metaphor for a network choosing to end a show rather than endlessly renewing it until it is unceremoniously cancelled after losing its audience and everything that made it interesting and good.
