I can't get over how Scott Bakula starred in two shows involving time travel and both had infamously bad finales.
Fun fact: In one episode, they talk about how a leap has to be completed in a certain amount of time in order to guarantee the ability to leap home. They say that the amount of time that each leap must be completed within falls by a certain percentage each time. I did the calculation once. Sam was still within the threshold even after all the many seasons. He should have leaped home.
And it would have been to the alt-timeline where Al and Ziggy were replaced by St.John and Alpha, the one which showed up when Sam previously leapt into Al and temporarily changed history.
All the pieces were there.
(If this feels familiar, I have posted this online before.)

The Prisoner probably. Nothing is resolved. #6 escapes... or does he? The Individual was #1 the whole time.
Okay, but it turning out that the iconic "Who is Number 1?!" "You are Number 6" exchange from the intro was Number 2 literally telling him the answer was freaking brilliant.
"You are, Number 6."
Dark.
I was super invested in the show, the concept of time travel and how everything (or anything) is connected (or not) if time is not linear. The end just ruined the whole flow. In my head, I actually have a different ending, which I can elaborate if anyone cares.
I watched Dark through once and thought the ending was weird, but I have good memories. I'm currently rewatching, I'm about halfway through S2. I would like to hear your theory because I think Dark is a really good show, but I won't read for a couple of weeks to avoid reminding myself too much and spoiling it

The "Attack On Titan" finale was a bunch of nonsense.
Everything just whipped back and forth at the whims of being artsy. None of it aligned with what the show had been known for in writing or foreshadowing. Characters constantly acting unreasonable for the sake of conflict. Shit just stopped making sense and everything felt like it was being made up on the spot.
All of the Ymir lore felt forced. Why tf was it a worm?
Attack on Titan and The Promised Neverland are both examples of stories that had an awesome premise but went off the rails after their big moment.
For Attack on Titan, I only ever watched the anime. I don't know if the manga was any better. But I feel like once we got past the big reveal at the end of the third season, it was just like "okay what now?". And then it was like Final Season, Final Season Part 1, Final Season For Realsies This Time... like they had no sense of direction.
With The Promised Neverland, I'm only talking about the manga. They screwed up the anime, the less said about that, the better. So the manga had this awesome premise of the kids having to escape the orphanage. But after that? It just got weird. Some of it was good (Goldy Pond, and Lewis/Luvis/whatever... the main demon singer from KPop Demon Hunters (of the Saja Boys, I mean) reminds me of him) but some of it was just weird.

Can we mention Farscape? Without the movie it was a massive let down, with the movie it became an impossible mess. Either way, an incredible let down.

Supernatural, yes we know should've ended as long time ago. But the last episode was strange, the prior episode should've been the end. It's a glorified run of the mill episode
In this thread, mostly: "Yeah, I know the show was poorly written through several seasons, but I thought the ending would at least be satisfactory."
