Most disappointing series finale? (Spoilers for the finales of different programs)

[*Kiwi*]

Wow, I can't beleive I'm the only person who thinks Lost had the most disappointing finale of all time. Not only did they not answer any of the mythology questions they had been building for 6 years, but they screwed over all of their characters (bar Jack) and made almost every single plot line redundant in the process. I lived and breathed this show for 6 years and now I never want to watch a single episode of it ever again.

As one disgruntled reviewer so aptly put it, "Only something so good can hurt so bad."

I loved the Lost finale. Thinking about Lost makes me happy. It's a great show.

The series finales for;

SG-1
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Enterprise
Xena
Quantum Leap

and any series that got canceled after airing a season-ending cliffhanger, Like John Doe.

No one has said Kyle XY, OMG what crap that was, im your brother.......end credits

Spoiler:

I kind of found DS9's ending abit dissapointing the way most of them left the station but its not really worth mentioning here because it was a great finale

Seconded

My question though is a series finale can really be a series finalle if they led to a miniseries?

If we are talking about Farscape then I'd say The Peacekeeper Wars Part II is the series finale

[DigiFluid]

The Lone Gunmen conclusion in The X-Files...wtf
Stargate Atlantis--headdesk
ST Voyager--total copout
ST Enterprise--the finale which shall not be named
Twin Peaks--cliffhanger to try to force a season 3...which didn't happen

I guess Lost just has one of those ending that you either love or hate. Believe me, I wish I was in the love camp.

Deadwood. While there was a sort of ending, it was meant to have a 4th series, seeing George Hearst, possibly one of the most evil villains in tv history essentially win at the end of the third series was very frustrating.

I'll continue with what I said last time. Yes these are some terrible series finale but nothing is worse then BSG's "lets solve everything with deus ex machina" series finale

[TBA]

Again, how was BSG's ending a deus ex machina? Everything had been foreshadowed and had build-up. The Ark of Truth, thát was a deus ex machina (let's have a magical device that with the press of a button solves all our problems!).

[jelgate]

All thier storylines were solved by "God did it." That is the literal definition of deus ex machina

[TBA]

No he didn't. He merely advised Baltar and Six with the Angels, and helped the humans with a ressurected Starbuck. That's all he did.

Mmmm yes, I forgot about that one. Damn HBO for canceling one of the best shows ever made! In fairness though, Hearst DID 'win' the West.

No I think jelly's pretty spot-on on the 'god did it' angle. While I don't find it as disappointing as he evidently does (it's one of my favourite finales actually), I agree that it was most definitely a 'god did it' resolution.
