[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 9385721, member: 6799660"] I have to agree. The finale was... fine, I guess. Most of the ending of the Dominion War was pretty good. About half of the Sisko-Dukat-Kai Winn battle of the Space Gods narrative was good*. [SIZE=2]*honestly, there wasn't a lot there to work with. The Changelings/Dominion were simply better developed antagonists. While they had successfully removed the sympathetic-ness from Dukat with [I]Waltz[/I], they never really got him beyond mustachio-twirling evil after that, and the Pah-wraiths are pretty much just anti-Prophets. [/SIZE] The character wrap ups varied all over the map. Sisko gets whisked to Space Valinor and Odo goes back home to teach peace and harmony to his family while bringing the cure for Space Germ Warfare. They are [S]forever[/S]for an indeterminant time separated from their respective loves. Kira, Worf, and O'Brien get to go on to big important roles for their respective cultures. Those are all good. Then the rest. Garak gets to kill the last Weyoun clone and go back to help rebuild Cardasia (somehow). Bashir gets to hook up with the second Dax with which he has little chemistry. Ezri likewise gets to sideline her development to pair the spares. Quark, Rom, Nog and Jake... are there. Vic Fontaine continues to overshadow characters anyone asked for to satisfy some writer's love of Rat Pack aesthetic. This brings up a good point. For me, while a nice wrap-up and nice finale are both positives*, they are not the primary value I find in a show. Mind you, it is better for them to be there then not. However, a perfectly wrapped-up mediocre show is not better than a good show that ends poorly (or just stops). [I][SIZE=2]*and reasons to laud the showrunners, as 1-doing so is hard, and 2-one has to fight the financial impulse to run the show out until people stop watching and it is unceremoniously cancelled[/SIZE][/I] [/QUOTE]
