Good Films/T.V. shows that had terrible endings

[aswiftlytiltingreality]

The ending to Firefly. Why you ask? Because it never should have ended!

What Joss Weadon did to deserve getting treated like that. I mean, it wasn't like no-one had heard of him. He'd only just made the greatest single teen-drama of all time. I defy anyone to say otherwise.

When "Firefly" got canceled I seriously thought about just tossing my television out the window. All anybody watched that year was "Joe Millionaire" and "American Idol" so they completely missed out on the shows that had substance. God, and the last episode they showed was the previously un-aired pilot. Irony, pure irony.

Fox is in the business of canceling shows that do better than "The Simpsons" or they think may do better. They don't like other shows competing with it. So, really, they sank "Firefly" purposely. Joss just happened to make a show that was getting more consistent ratings (sometimes better) than "The Simpsons" and Fox panicked. But hey, at least we got an awesome movie out of it.

Also, I was disappointed with the series finale of "Buffy" just because my favorite character got killed off.

Oh, wow. "Angel" had a not so awesome finale. It got canceled, too, because of the UPN and WB merging.

Red Dwarf.

The whole cast have been paid to do some more episodes next year

Anya or Spike?

EDIT:

Spike. He was the funniest character in my opinion.

How can you kill someone off if they're already dead...







Sorry, I'll be quiet now.

As an avid Stargate SG-1 fanatic from the start, I found the 2-hour TV movie ending a bit, meh. It felt forced, the same goes for that other TV movie they did.

Do you mean Ark of Truth or Continuum? I didn't fin Ark of Truth all that bad, gave a decent resolution to the whole Ori conflict. haven't seen Continuum yet but I know the general premise and I can see the "meh" factor there.

28 weeks later.it sort of ruined the first movie.And the ending was a little...weird.i'll describe it.
*FLASH*zombie runs toward victim.*FLASH*victim's running.*FLASH*Picture of the eiffel tower.(a bit more detail is what i'm asking for.)

Eragon the movie, horrible all the way through, but the last half-hour just shits itself inside out.

Technically, he was undead. Well, he was a demon because in the whole Joss Whedon Buffyverse, vampires are demons...that whole verse is confusing.

True but that doesn't take away from how awesome it is

Oh, I totally agree. I like "Angel" better than "Buffy" though. And I know they continued "Angel" in the comic series, but I would have preferred that the show not been canceled and continued.

 

[the monopoly guy]

I'm going to go with the last season of Scrubs. And the Third season of M*A*S*H. You killed Henry? Why? WHY would you do that?


The series died after Henry and Trapper.

to anyone who has seen the film "Funny Games"
i am just going to mention the "remote control" scene and follow it up with a bunch of question marks. here they are: ????????????????????
the film up to that point is pure 24 carat solid gold
it's twisted, yet intelligent with absolutely superb acting
then it introduces a potentially fantastic plot twist, but carries on to the end of the film like it never happened
it makes the whole movie from then on very confusing and no attempt is made to remedy the situation
oh well i'd still recommend the film to anyone over the age of fourteen
if you're one of those rare few who has seen it already, let me know if you agree

The ending for Time Bandits was a serious What The Fuck moment? The film itself was a jolly Python-esque romp through various periods of history, there was a climactic scene with the bad guy, everything seems to go back to normal, then BAM! It wasn't that it was extreme left-field mind fuckery, it just seemed so out of place compared to the rest of the film.

Wow, you must not be familiar with how Terry Gilliam makes movies. They almost never have happy endings.

12 Monkeys
Brazil
Jabberwocky
Fischer King
Tideland

I loved Time Bandits. It's one of the first films I can remember seeing in my life, and it stands out over all other children's fare I've seen because of the gritty realism, anti-heroes, and dark comedy.

"Heroes?!?! HEROES!?!?! What do THEY know about a day's work???"

 

[Ixus Illwrath]

i know its a bit obvious but the Sopranos.cuts to black at a completly random moment and i know im not the only one who was annoyed by that move.

I think the general consensus is that was the last moment of Tony's life. They threw enough symbolism in the last 5 minutes of that episode to make that a sound conclusion.

I agree that is a suck ending though, I wanted Tony to live long enough for a film adaption

Sorry if I spoiled that for anyone, but if you haven't seen it yet, you probably don't have any serious intention to.

 

[Ixus Illwrath]

I don't know if this is the definition of a bad ending, but the way FOX canned Married... with Children mid-season and gave them like a week to write a mish-mashed finale was most disappointing ending to anything I ever loved.

Harry Goz passing away and leaving Sealab humorless and eventually canceled was a bad ending to a great show too.

 

[Capt_Jack_Doicy]

The Wire, the ending to series 5 left me so depressed, i wanted them to make a series 6 where McNulty becomes a masked vigilante maybe with a bat motive.

 

[Death Magnetic]

Jekyll. Loved the show, but towards the end, the story became a bit infeasible.

It is fiction. I really hope they do a second season because it is one of my favourite shows I've ever seen.

 

[Dommyboy]

No Country For Old Men made some serious plotting mistakes at the end. I also hate the ending for the original Dawn of the Dead, anyone who has seen it knows why, sudden random hero moment when the ending should be dark and depressing.

/Agree.

The ending of the original Dawn of the Dead makes no sence! I can't even contemplate what is going on in it and than a zombie gets a gun and contemplates what its doing. Arrrgh! *shoots self in the temple*.

That's the kind of ending you're supposed to expect for a film like that. It wasn't weird at all.

Though the show isn't over yet, House definitely took a turn for the worse at season four. Getting rid of the original team was a bold, and somewhat understandable move to get rid of the repititiveness of the previous seasons, but it doesn't pay off when you include the guy from Harold and Kumar and the lesbian from The OC.

 

[Spektre41]

Neon Genesis Evangelion, ending made no sense. Then we got that crappy movie.

 

[Spartan Bannana]

The Scrubs series finale was awful, it tied up no loose ends and it ended badly
