A Few of My Favorite Things: Conclusions

Life is messy and ongoing but TV, books, movies, and a variety of other mediums give us what we can’t always get in the real world: a solid conclusion. I’ve had books and movies that leave you with no real ending and wanted to hurl the book across the room. I’d invested how many hours reading something only to be exactly where we started? I have reality for that!

When life throws you a plot twist, you can’t just resolve it and stop and stay happy. Life has to keep moving on and things will get bad and get better and so on until we eventually expire. Fiction can give us things we can’t get elsewhere. Even if there’s another Thursday Next novel, I know she’s holding at a good place until I get there. Warehouse 13 ends this year but the series is getting the conclusion it deserves. Even if the conclusion isn’t perfectly solid, it can leave you with hope for the characters that live on in their fictional world.
