Awesome guys!! Very fun to listen to you cuss and discuss these searies finales. I loved the show LOST, but I didn’t much care for how they ended the show. I agreed with pretty much everything Megan was saying about how so many things were left unanswered, especially that stupid foot statue. That was a big WTF? for that show. I also really liked the finale for Seinfeld. I thought it was very apropos. I never saw many episodes of The Sopranos. I never even finished the first season. I thought the ending of Breaking Bad was also really good. But yeah, I agree with Clarence, I’d never want to hang out with Jesse Pinkman, and it was a little too bad he survived. Oh well…
It is on my to-do-very-very-soon list, but I hold my hands up and say I still have not listened to this. I barely have the time to hold my hands up actually. What I will add to this though, and not sure if you mention this on there, but the two clear worst finales of recent years are Dexter and How I Met Your Mother – two shows that had great moments of consistency and entertainment value over the years (for very different reasons) but had horrible last episodes. Criminal you might say.
