Q.
You’ve put a lot of time into watching this show: episode after episode, year after year. Now, it’s all coming to an end. How on earth will they wrap things up in the finale? Will the tone fit what we have experienced so far? Will the ultimate character arcs, and plot de-pretzeling make sense? Will we walk away feeling satisfied?

The showrunners better hope so, or they’ll be hearing about it for years. Which finales have hit or missed the mark for you? What say others?
