Re: When the story goes in the wrong direction...

[(Anonymous)]

I've read a couple fics that ended up like this. Mostly I think it was just the authors wanting the endings to be shocking, but instead it can come across like the author forgot what story they were writing halfway through and just sort of smashed two disparate things together. It's a difficult thing to pull off elegantly.

HIMYM is the only canon I can think of off the top of my head where I felt this was really strongly the case? The entire show up until the final season is all about the main cast growing and maturing. The bulk of the middle seasons is about how life doesn't go according to some ideal plan, and how that's okay. Your job doesn't have to be the most perfect thing in the world, your house can be in New Jersey, your marriage can have a few bumps, your family can be difficult to deal with, your friends can fuck you over, and that's just part of life.

Then the final season throws a good portion of that out the window and kind of puts everyone back at square one.

HIMYM is a good example. I think the writers were definitely trying to go for something they had planned before they had years of character development that didn't make that ending at all satisfying.

It was such a cute show for a while too but that ending was just painful (and not painful in the "oh I am sad this is ending way" painful in the "oh this is god awful" way), I don't think I'll ever be able to watch the final season again.
