respoftwWhat fandom that got a series finale was that most appropriate/most satisfying. Bonus: What about it would you have changed, if anything?
Do I have to warm for spoilers on a show that’s been done for longer than I care to look up in case it makes me look old?
Spoilers for Buffy if I do!
I feel like Buffy the Vampire Slayer got the closest. I love so many things about it, I love the whole turning the whole ‘there can be only one’ crap on its head and I love that they did the call back to Buffy, Willow and Xander walking off chatting about nothing and Giles saying they were all doomed. I love so so much of it but then Anya died in such a blink and you’ll miss it way and it gutted me.
We’ll also ignore the whole Buffy pretty much telling Spike she loves him as he’s dying when we all know she didn’t....
Actually, Angel got a pretty good finale too. Gut wrenching, but good.
Sadly, too many of my fandoms ended too soon with plot threads hanging or stupid Jennifer Keller hanging out on a balcony.
