That's a fair point, actually. What if the penultimate episode IS a conclusion, and the finale is all denouement?
Angel: Lorne, you're— Lorne: Reliable as a cheap fortune cookie? Angel: I was gonna say a guy with good contacts…

To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])

The blurb for the finale is probably "A conclusion concludes."
It's already up on my onscreen guide: "The story concludes"

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
They're dragging the final season of Mad Men out into the spring of 2015.

I love it.

I can't wait till they air the final season of The Walking Dead one episode a year for twelve years.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That sucks. Totally just milking it. OTOH, it does not suck that one of the greatest screenwriters of all time is joining the writing staff of Mad Men.
Robert Towne to join Mad Men Writing staff.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Whoa. Towne? That's cool.

OK, that sort of makes up for the milking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like the Kane misdirect on Mike's secret, and possibly elevating Louis to adversary (or intimate) at the same time as he plays out one of his sincerely felt cartoons.

A week or two after the series end of Burn Notice, and all I clearly remember is setting a house on fire with an old lady in it, and a kid out of view. Like, really, don't you MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHERE THE KID IS before you torch the joint?
I was mostly there out of curiosity, but I was surprised how almost exactly the wrong people died for me by the end. I ended up getting pissier and pissier.

Hadn't Jesse taken the kid away before she set the fire? I feel certain that was the plan.
I'm so uninvested in Burn Notice any more, though, I couldn't guarantee that's what actually happened.
