I want to figure out what kind of artist I want to be, because with the 'American Idol' process, it just works really fast. The night of the finale, they said, 'OK, here are all the label people that you're gonna work with, this is the album you're gonna make and blah, blah, blah.' So it was a pretty fast process, but it's been cool.

Julie Plec

Cynicism doesn't have its way in series finales. My emotional desire when I watch a series come to an end is to be crying and laughing and cheering as the final credits roll, feeling like I just got delivered the happy ending, whether the plot ends happily or not.

American Producer

Kunal Nayyar

These characters, they have to evolve. They're getting older on the show, these are things that happen in everyone's life. People do get married... this is just a natural evolution. I wonder if we'll have 'Big Bang' babies in the season finale?

British Actor

Dania Ramirez

My character on 'The Sopranos' was specific to being a single mother and being from Jersey. And being part of that season finale... wow. That show is always going to be world-renowned and iconic.

Growing up, I remember the 'Cheers' finale and 'M*A*S*H' and all these amazing finales, and I remember them being very, very important.

Kate Herron

It's about Loki's journey, and he's a character that wants the throne in episode one whereas by the finale, he doesn't want that.

Peter Paige

I don't think we set out to make it the most intense 'Fosters' finale ever, but I kind of think that's what we ended up with.

Damon Lindelof

I think that 'The Shield' was a phenomenal series finale.

Memorable Endings

 like you might get from a lit match, it combusts into carbon dioxide, water and even more energy. Notice our methane started with four hydrogen, and at the end we still have four hydrogen captured in two water molecules. For a grand finale, here's propane, another combustible gas.
