Ben Mendelsohn absolutely deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Alan Rickman. He brought some real life to what would otherwise been an underwhelming Star Wars villain, and his work on Bloodline is one of the single best TV performances I think I've seen in my lifetime.

And just because President Dumbass says it, that means it'll happen? I mean, they'll take the blame among the Trump faithful, but the Trump faithful aren't enough to win an election.

I can't mention "Objects in Space" as a perfect series finale? Does that seem right to you?

Maybe we'll get Angel Week in two years?

The ST:TNG finale is far from underrated. I never see a list of 'Best Series Finales' that doesn't include "All Good Things…" in a place of high honor. I think it's pretty universally recognized.

The Justified finale didn't strike me as well as it did others. I feel like Boyd or Raylan should have died in order for the narrative to come to a satisfying conclusion. Or both of them going out at once, if you really wanted to go Shakespeare.

Not that a government shutdown is the ideal scenario here, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if it actually came to pass. They made their bed, it's not the job of the Democrats to keep them from having to lie in it.

Hmm. A Civil War between a super-rich iconoclast with a devoted fanbase who adopts poorly thought-out legislation he can't begin to understand and an all-American patriotic type who tries to project an image of confidence and optimism in American government even though his morals are deeply clouded by personal agendas…

Can I say "Objects in Space" from Firefly? It probably doesn't count because it wasn't intended to be a series finale, but it was still spectacular. If not, I'm going with "return 0" from Person of Interest. Pretty perfect on just about every level.

Sure, the series always held a certain degree of compassion toward him, and it's not like he was born evil. Chase made it clear that he had the potential once upon a time to be a legitimately good person, but his mother fucked that all to hell long before the series began.

I feel like the reason not a lot of people like The Sopranos' series finale is because of just how hard David Chase put his foot down at the end in terms of making the audience realize that yes, Tony Soprano is an evil black hole of a human being, and no, that will never change because he will never put in the effort.…

The comics are so dearly important to me exactly because they refute the kind of ending Carlos described up there.

Yeah, Sleepy Hollow pretty much lost its way exactly 3 episodes into its second season and never looked back. Season 3 was a bland nightmare that ended with an utter travesty, and I have all of Season 4 now on my DVR. The only reason I'll probably eventually get around to it is that it stars one of the best villains…

NBC exec: "And while you're at it, let the fans know exactly how much we care about them by having them shill this shitty new vampire drama before they get to see the finale proper."

Favorite episode? Favorite season? Favorite anything else anyone wants to mention? Just creating a thread for those general purposes.

The 17-issue Angel comic series that was meant to end the show's story arcs really worked for me. I'm not a fan of continuing the show past its end using comic books (the Buffy comics were shit from day one), but the ones for Angel were really, really well-written. Highly recommended.

Guintoli always gave a really, really great performance in the episodes where he got paired with Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Something about that mother/son dynamic was super well-written, and it was one of the reasons I was so furious at the show for killing her off back at the end of Season 4.

I've been saying this for years, I think the presence of David Greenwalt, who was the #2 creative force on Buffy for the first 3 seasons right behind Whedon before leaving to do Angel, really made this a surprisingly Whedonesque show. It played things a little safer than Whedon (no main cast deaths ever? WTF), but it…

Those were good, fun times. It felt like us Grimm commenters were roughing it out in the woods, as it were.

I swear that back during Season 1 the official press materials had his first name listed as Eddie.
