24 Season Finale

In Defense of 'The Killing': Why You Shouldn't Hate the Finale

My primary complaint against these haters is that they feel a sense of entitlement, like The Killing was supposed to give them something, and because they didn't get it, they're angry. It's a problem that has become quite prevalent with shows since the popularity of the Internet, and one I've been guilty of in the past (see my distaste for the Lost series finale). TV shows don't owe us anything. The writers and creators are telling their own stories, so when viewers come in and demand satisfaction, there's a big problem. Yes, AMC's promotion of The Killing was designed heavily on the "Who killed Rosie Larsen?" angle, but guess what: The Killing isn't done. If this was a series finale, I could understand the anger, but it's not. Just because the season didn't end the way you thought it would doesn't inherently make it bad. The problem might be that this isn't something we've seen before. Shows like 24 , Veronica Mars and Buffy the Vampire Slayer trained us to think in terms of single season storylines. There was a big bad or a threat against the government, and by the end of the season, you knew Jack Bauer would save the day, Veronica would solve the case and Buffy would slay the demon. If people want to complain about the characters being poorly written, that's fine, but don't just whine about not getting an answer. If you only wanted to know who killed Rosie, you could've stopped watching a long time ago and just waited to read the spoiler when it finally came out. It's the same way I get through M. Night Shyamalan movies: instead of going to the theater, I head to Wikipedia, learned he big twist, and I'm happy with no need to watch the film. For me, the joy of The Killing was the performances, which I don't think turned sour. I'm fascinated when a show does something different, and the slow, vague pace of The Killing is what made it special. We only get to see glimpses of the people's lives because that's all the writers want to show us. The attitude of the series is one of mystery and secrets, and it's one they show has played with all season long. If you are angry that Holder is apparently a bad guy thanks to his finale double cross, it should hardly come as a surprise. All season we've seen him on the phone with mysterious people, chatting with his baby mama about seeing his kid and other unexplained moments.

'The Office' Season 7, Episode 24 (Season Finale) Recap

Out of all of them, the only one that realistically might come back is Tate , according to The Hollywood Reporter, which made sense even before that report came out. Everyone else was there to be a guest distraction; they all have different projects going on. Tate might have to work around a stage commitment, but I'm sure that can be worked out. Oh, I guess Spader is available, but he's a bit too intense for the show, don't you think? Given what Paul Lieberstein and others have said, it's been apparent for awhile that the internal candidates were going to be Andy, Darryl and Dwight. Dwight was at first indifferent to the process, growing an uneven beard, dressing in his pig-slopping clothes and openly looking through the classifieds ... until Spader's character insulted the place; then he threw his hat back in the ring. And somehow, by the end of the episode, he became a viable candidate, and not just because he paid off Kelly (who replaced Gabe after she ratted him out to Jo) with the same offer that Jim turned down. Jo, despite her misgivings about his judgment, liked his crazy tenacity, especially when he came in for an interview wrapped in bandages, claiming to be a French man who had been horribly burned. Can the office stand to have Dwight as the manager again? If so, he can't be Frank Burns-ian again, which he might have learned after losing the job the first time around. Andy finally decided to go after the job, rather than metaphorically let his housekeeper get it for him. It might also be the reason why he turned down Erin, even as she puppeted up to ask him out. And Darryl ... well, he was less prepared than anyone thought. He figured he'd do well because everyone knew him and "I'm blaaaaack!" He couldn't get through an interview question, and didn't have a resume. Then he tries to use his daughter to sway the office his way, getting a "don't do this, man" head shake from Jim, who's obviously in his corner. He doesn't even realize that Microsoft killed off Clippy years ago. So, as the THR article stated, there's a very good chance that there could be some competition among the three candidates and Tate early next season. It might make for a good few episodes. Though I don't know how much they can take having Creed be the manager, considering Pam is resorting to doing "plays" as fake clients over the phone in order to keep him from talking to any real clients. -- The Angela engagement story got a little overwhelmed by the management search. But, even though it wasn't that funny, it was interesting that everyone decided not to tell Angela out of compassion. She's happy, she'll have kids with him, why rock the boat? That'll burn her later, I'm sure, especially when that upset aide comes forward to the press.
