I totally agree. :-)

A hot dog is a sandwich. So's a taco, whether soft shell or hard shell.

I'd call that a good ending. A good cliff hanger, leaving the punters wanting more. Although I admit in my OP I was thinking about actual finales rather than cliff hangers to get folks back for next season.

The temptation for networks to milk a show to death is usually far too much for them to pass up. It's a shame. Because, although I can enjoy the journey of a show, I much prefer it to have a decent ending. TV shows tend to get a pass on having no proper or just a plain poor ending. Other media...

Happy Birthday! (Great minds and all that: I did a Hawaii 5-0 themed party for my 50th birthday.)

Hmm. I may have to revisit Risk. I admit I find the traditional version pretty dull.

I count myself a non-Trekkie but general sci-fi fan. I think DS9 is the best series, although since I haven't seen any of the newer series maybe there's mo' better to be had. And by newer I mean anything after DS9. That being said - I don't think DS9 actually had a very good ending. It was...

When did Risk get nukes?

I'm pretty sure bards love happy endings. It's doable if you're a dedicated enthusiast. But it getting set up isn't cheap or easy. The hardest thing might be finding a player you can play your media on. As I type I am sitting in a room surrounded by VHS, Umatic, MiniDV, Digibeta, Beta SP and...

We don't have any wax cylinders where I work. But the archive up the road has a small collection. Recorded about 1905. As for asking other sections favours to get stuff digitised... We call that technical training. 😁

I'll go tell the audio guys that they're cool. I'm video and film myself, so I'm still pretty cool. At least, my wife thinks I'm cool.* *trust me, she really does. No need to ask her.

Republic of Rome is a brilliant game. Never managed to finish a full game alas.

Haven't played it much in recent (er, like last 25) years. But I did play it about 2 years ago with my wife. I'd told her about the game and she was fascinated by it. So one day, I bought her a copy as a present and we were able to get 6 player game going. She was out of the gate like a bolt...

I work at an archive. We have at least 4 working reel-to-reel machines. So I guess that... love is all around me.

Each to their own, obviously. But, as I said in my OP, I thought it was the perfect ending for the show. A lovely elegy for a show that was so much about death. Sure, dying wasn't it's main theme. Living a good life was it's main theme. But death was very much in the mix. Ooh yeah. That's a...

I have Tubi. And some spare evenings coming up.

I have to admit - I never saw season 5 due to work schedule/broadcast schedule conflict.

Since we have drifted back towards the OP topic... Pineapple clearly does not belong on pizzas. It belongs on hamburgers.

Some pop culture references get old. e.g. Winter is coming. But Death by Snu-Snu? Evergreen.

Back in the day when this first aired in Australia I worked nights. So I didn't see a lot TV. Eg. I've never seen more than a few snippets of Twin Peaks. What I did manage to catch of Six Feet Under hooked me. I know it's on one of the streaming services I've got. I think it's time I went back...
