Re:Best and Worst Sci-Fi Series Finales…
Streudel: Methinks that if only they’d done a [i]Lexx[/i] and blown that Little Blue Planet into chunks, that [i]Voyager[/i] finale would not have “blown chunks”. But yeah, those time travel episodes didn’t do it for me. I actually like many time travel shows and movies, including [i]Dr. Who, Time Tunnel, Odyssey 5, Planet of the Apes[/i], [u]Gary 7[/u] is one of my fave [i]Star Trek TOS[/i] episodes and they had other good time travel ones, and I enjoyed [i]Quantum Leap[/i]…
Plif: I felt like the final [i]Quantum Leap[/i] episode was a bit of a cop-out… Maybe, just possibly, they created more questions than answers because they didn’t have a clue themselves (at least they didn’t know how to answer them in an entertaining way)… I felt at the time that they may have been leaving the door open for sequels.
Now I preferred the original [i]Highlander[/i] movie finale to the series – then they had to contradict it with the later films – what bollocks! Your “[i]It’s a Wonderful Life[/i]” reference reminds me of something… Although the [i]Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy[/i] series is very incomplete when compared to the books for obvious reasons (including that some of the books weren’t even written when the series came out), I loved the way it ended with the song [i]What a Wonderful World.[/i]
