GavsEvans123 08/07/19 4:50:54 PM #1:	Hello everyone, and welcome to the final edition of Best of the Trope! Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. In the event of a tie between 4 or more nominations, a tiebreaker poll will be run the next day to determine a winner. <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:925761481] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 08/07/19 4:55:16 PM #3:	Fittingly enough, the final trope is Grand Finale. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GrandFinale When a show (usually of the Failure Is the Only Option or Stern Chase variety) comes to an end with sufficient lead time, the production team may decide to go out with a bang by ending the endless chase, destroying the undestroyable foe, or in some other way definitively and permanently changing the core axioms the show depends on. It usually resolves all the conflicts that have driven the series over its entire run, and offers some kind of resolution to the dramatic tension that they have powered. This is the Grand Finale, a way of very clearly saying to the audience "Okay, the show is really over. There's no more. Go watch something else." (That this doesn't always get through to viewers can be a problem in and of itself...) TL,DR: The definite, absolute end of a series. Nominations: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?

I didn't plan it this way, but in retrospect it's perfect. Thanks to everyone for the kind words too, I wasn't aware this was so popular! I might come back to this after a break, or if someone else wants to take over, they're welcome to do so. <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:925791028] in Best of th...
