[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 284431, member: 8"] But there's more spectacle and "gasp!" moments in the non-season finale episodes. How do you top something like the methane rig explosion? The death of the Ewing babies, the Southfork fire + overdose sex? Personally, I'm happy to sacrifice the traditional save-the-best-for-last cliff hanger for all these many edge-of-your-seat moments. Come to think of it, EMPIRE's season finales aren't always their most spectacular episodes, but they had fantastic season premieres! This was already happening in series like Footballer's Wives, Desperate Housewives, The Sopranos etc. Back in the eighties they could get away with the occasional boring episode or plodding plot line but in 2012 it would be totally boo'd and hissed at. Sorry Chris but I think character development is a little overrated. How often did it happen in the classic soaps, and how much was it appreciated when it [I]did[/I] happen? The dislike for characters like Chase Gioberti, Diana Fairgate or Paige Matheson never fails to amaze me. [/QUOTE]
