I'm always wondering, what happened to this character or that one, etc. at the end of a show / movie. They fast forwarded through the next ~70 years through the eyes of the youngest character and you got a glimpse of the life of each character and knew how they died (this is relevant to the show since it was based around a funeral home business). At the end you were just in shock since I've never seen that done before, on that level of detail, with over 10 characters.

It's very difficult to deliver when expectations are too high. I wanted to comment on the TV show endings, because you hardly ever watch a finale that you are like wow, they couldn't have done that any better, even if they recorded it 100 different ways. I can only say that on one series I've ever watched and that was <a href="http://www.hbo.com/sixfeetunder/" rel="nofollow">Six Feet Under</a>, an HBO series. Anyways, I finally setup my feedreader today and added your site to the list, expect some more comments out of me in the future. Keep up the great work. George Adam,
