What's your view?
Mine, where's Quantum leap?
Pretty good article, kind of snarky, though. I'd like to see the author try to write an ending for a popular show like Lost or BSG and please everyone with the result.
I didn't mind Quantum Leap's ending...I'd just love it if they would do more. It left the possibilities so open for movies or another series. From what I understand it wasn't really supposed to be an ending, because they weren't aware of the cancellation when they fimed it.
Well, I think Enterprise had a terrible final episode, shame on them, and BSG had a weak final episode but at least they seemed to try. I think Ron Moore painted himself into a creative corner he couldn't escape on that one.

Agreed on Enterprise, but I enjoyed BSG's finale. Very emotional for me...to me that and Lost became more about the characters than anything else, and it was sad to see the fates of characters on both shows.

I agree, especially the death of Rosalyn. It was were they took Starbuck that just didn't work at the end for me.

Yeeeeah, if you're gonna bring a character back from the dead a LITTLE explanation is warranted. Although I believe a Cylon did refer to her as an angel of God, and the show certainly did seem to say a divine being was in charge of everyone's destiny. I didn't like it, but I let it slide because I was to busy tearing up like a girly-man.
