成人快手

From comedian & writer Paul Kerensa:聽
I鈥檝e finally caught up with Game of Thrones. No spoilers here, but it鈥檚 fair to say some have been slightly critical of the final season鈥檚 pace, decisions, and, well, just the fact that it鈥檚 ending probably, not in a way they鈥檇 like. Perhaps we just don鈥檛 like endings. With my TV-writing hat on, I ran a recent workshop for the 成人快手 Writers鈥� Room. We discussed how we love midway surprises: good characters choose bad, bad characters triumph.聽
No hero too good, no villain so irredeemable 鈥� everyone鈥檚 in the middle. But endings are tricky. The fun and games 鈥� the reason we watch 鈥� are done with. We explored at the workshop the problems of tying up a story, especially an epic tale when characters have to choose a side. The end has characters less shades of grey, more black and white, good v evil. Perhaps the best TV endings just stop, catching us off-guard.聽
From The Sopranos to Breaking Bad to Noel鈥檚 House Party, the fun and games and flawed heroes continued till the final credits. Then again what do I know? I write sitcoms, oh and a few years ago the 成人快手 Music Awards with Fearne Cotton 鈥� remember that? We solved the narrative ending problem by having someone who knows how to close the show - Robbie Williams. In real life, we often don鈥檛 talk about our endings. The day after that workshop, I was doing a stand-up show for hospital staff, for 鈥楧ying Matters鈥� week: an initiative to get us talking about our own finales 鈥� from planning the practical bits, to supporting those who grieve.聽
As a comedian, I鈥檝e died before, though as a Christian, I look forward to the next gig. Whatever we believe comes next, I reckon if we plan our endings well, we can benefit others, from donating organs, to tying up loose ends. Like our binge-watches, we don鈥檛 like to think it鈥檒l end 鈥� we just enjoy it when it鈥檚 on. We鈥檙e all lead roles in our own stories, none of us purely heroic, none irredeemably villainous. But if we plant the seeds in season 4 for how it鈥檒l end in season 8, our finales may mean so much more. At least, until the spin-off, if there is one, on the other side.
