Not with a finale, but with an episode of Star Trek Deep Space 9 - specifically, Far Beyond the Stars. The problem was it's the perfect episode from my point of view - it's like someone decided to make an episode of Star Trek specifically for me. It's set in 50s New York! It's about Golden Age science fiction! It's about the future and race and optimism and suffering! Michael Dorn plays ersatz-Willie Mays, for Pete's sake! I really can't emphasize enough how much all of those things appealed to me, how perfect the whole concept was. How great I imagined it could be.

And the thing was that I knew that it could never live up to my expectations, there was just no way. I honestly can't recall ever having higher expectations for anything, ever - I'm usually kind of a nervous, pessimistic person in general but I just could not hold myself down on this one. And of course it didn't live up to my expectations - it was a good episode of television, even an excellent episode of television, but there's no way it could have lived up to my expectations. I don't know if any episode of television could have lived up to my expectations. I still enjoyed it and it still resonates with me, but I feel like I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn't known what the basic concept was going into it - if I had just watched it cold. But that's not the way it happened. That's life, I guess.
