Well, this ought to we a easy week, as I only ever had 6 consoles in my life. I’ll leaving out my Wii, as I haven’t turned it on in 3 years, and all I ever did with it was hack it into a NES emulator to play Bad News Baseball.

Friday Five – Favorite TV Series Finales

Why is it so hard for a TV show to stick the landing and have a satisfying finale? Endings are tough, and contradictory by nature. It should provide enough closure, yet still be open ended to give the sense that these people have their own lives, and possibilities still await for them in the future. A good conclusion should reward us, the viewer, for choosing to spend our time with the characters of a show and give a meaning to our shared experience. A good finale should show that the people we first saw in the pilot episode have grown and changed, along with us, as we watched them. And most importantly, while it should show that characters changed, don’t change them fundamentally just for change sake. Any changes should be organic, and not an attempt to be clever.
