I'll admit I was first "miffled" by most ambiguous ending ever in the history of series endings. But I'm beginning to come around to the the side that sees
The Sopranos finale as "brilliant" rather than "lame." David Chase left us wanting more, and that's pretty awesome. Besides,
according to Ken Levine, it could have been a lot worse.
On his blog, Ken, a veteran sitcom writer, hilariously reminds us just how annoying
The Sopranos finale would have been on network television. For starters, a countdown clock would have run across the bottom of our television screens for at least a month leading up to the finale.

When ABC decided that this was going to be the last season of
Alias, J.J. Abrams wasn't in on the discussions. It wasn't until after the
decision was made that Abrams was called while filming Mission Impossible 3 in China. While he's not all that surprised

possibility of doing something (spin-off? TV movie?) involving the characters Sark (David Anders), Peyton (Amy Acker)
and Sloane (Ron Rifkin). Y'know, I might be OK with that idea, but only if they do something fresh with it; the whole
Alias vibe to me is stale.
