The AWFUL Endings: SFF's Biggest Letdowns!

from Fantasy for the Ages Hosted by Jim Scriven

Some of the greatest fantasy and science fiction series ever written… completely blew the landing. In this episode, Jim takes a hard look at sci-fi and fantasy series that started strong, won our hearts, and then left us scratching our heads (or yelling at the pages) with finales that just didn’t measure up. From legendary epics to cult favorites, these are the endings fans still debate—and in many cases, still hate. Which of these do you agree with? Which ones do you actually think nailed the ending? Share your thoughts in the comments—we’d love to hear what you think!
