I really like this classification. - Transcendent Finales: the best of the best. - Satisfying Finales: endings that more or less meet viewer expectations. - Disappointing Finales: a conclusion that falls short of previously established show quality but is not so bad as to retroactively render prior viewership a waste of time. - Disaster Finales: an ending that is so terrible it begs the question, "What were the writers thinking?" Note to the author: run this through spell check again, saw a few spelling errors (e.g. Saitsyfing)
