The Season Finale - Let Them Eat Cake!



As the seasons change, so many of our beloved dish TV lineups. When the summer leaves change color and fall approaches, many of my favorite television shows only to start flowering. And ironically, just as the final traces of winter melt into spring and new blooms begin to appear, those same shows are coming to an end. While in the middle of most episodes of series to provide a real "meat" in the story, the season premiere, a special season finale, they are often the most episodes I anticipate and talk about it. Clearly, these two episodes are of vital importance for the understanding of the series, the season premiere sets the story, introduces new and important figures and characters, and has a unique position on some kind of interesting avenue that holds the viewers interest piqued. With the right group of people on the screen, and the right group of people behind the scenes, this is (apparently) easy part.

finals are a bit more complicated, I think. After a series of devoted followers for the season, across giddily through subsequent episodes, the pressure to meet the current story and keep it open enough to provide space for the story to grow and change, becomes a sensitive task.

Really, there are two types of season finale: the ones that have a "winner", and those that have the character that I hope will eventually became winner. American Next Top Model, for example, ends its fourteenth season, and the result will be concrete and measurable: one girl will win. Three others will not. How American Idol ended its last few weeks, we know what to expect: one of three very talented singers will be named as an American favorite and will achieve a sweet record deal. Shows like The Amazing Race, the biggest loser, and Apprentice all have one thing in common: Each season has a new group of people in new places doing the same thing, but a new way. People find that interesting, despite the fact that the idea or theme behind each of these shows remains the same. Let them eat cake, these viewers ... the whole darn thing!

Why, then, these shows remain so popular? Why are their finals just as enticing to watch the show, whose characters will still be around next season? Just like the characters in the series has become almost true for some viewers, the real people became characters: i love to love 'em, love, hate' em, the love we think we know our favorite characters from the inside and outside. It's convenient, I will agree that they could know where the program and participants, is the title. There is a winner and a loser, and that is to.Završio, in some ways, is series. If someone ask you what happened on American Idol Season 4 probably would have said: "Have you ever heard of Carrie Underwood ?"

Alternatively, a series that carry through the story and characters from season to season are a bit more complex in order to "end" even if "end" is not permanent. Let them eat cake, the viewers, but only part! Often, you can not explain the final season for someone who does not watch the show. It is a point , though, I think. I am a big fan of more developed series is available on DISH Network, such as the Sons of Anarchy, and Grey's Anatomy, and I expect some good features in the finals of these modes.

First, at least one major clash of the season to be turned. Are Meredith and Derek a couple? Will Opie find out what the role of clay in Donna's death? Some of the questions that viewers have been asking during the season and should be dealt with and calm. On the same note, a good season finale will also raise some new questions, in order to complicate the story and give viewers a reason to watch ... following sezone.Dobro developing series , ie, cyclical, ups and downs that will eventually lead to the final story. Will Castaways on Lost ever find, for example? We went back to that whole "winner" thing, I guess.

In the end, "end" of the season was a reality series or the development of drama, carries enormous weight and often determines whether or not viewers will come back even more delicious (piece of) cake.
