What Did You Think About The Finale Of Will & Grace?

Question

I was quite disapointed. I didnt like the story about them falling out and not being part of each others lives for all those years. To me the characters of Will & Grace know and accept each other faults and all. In past seasons they have had fall outs, like when Grace first met Leo but it wasnt long before they sorted out their issues. It wasnt realistic that they wouldnt see each other for all those years and be part of each others lives.

I think its hard for any popular series to end, the best i can think of in recent years was Buffy. Angel ended badly but Charmed was quite good.

Why is there so many idiots who just give a stupid answer that isnt even relevant to the question, just to get points? dont you think its better to actually EARN your points?

Answer 1

I was also disappointed that Will and Grace didn't spend the rest of their lives together as friends. I did enjoy the storyline with Jack and Beverley Lesley though, and him being blown off the balcony. That was hilarious. And Jack's response to his advances, "Don't you have places to go, magic rings to protect?" LMAO.

Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes should release a CD; their song was fantastic!

I loved how the final scenes mirrored the very first scene. That was quite clever, and shows that even though Will and Grace spent a lot of time apart, they still loved each other.

The best scene was the 'parent trap' scene in the hospital. Will's method of dealing with the Christian bigot by kissing him was brilliant.

Answer 2

The only quibble I had was that I thought the final scene with Rosario was a little mean-spirited, if in keeping with her and Karen's generally adversarial relationship. That's about it as far as negatives for me. (I was also hoping we'd finally get more of a glimpse of Stan than his feet, but maybe in the reunion show...)

I liked the scene with the guy in the body cast, who "came out" with the same revelation as we've seen happen with other characters in the show. In that sense, he reminded me of the guy who was sitting next to Will that time that he and Leo went to a sports event. And there have been others like those two as well.

I was okay with the story taking those several big jumps into the future. It sort of reminded me of all those films that end with text on the screen describing what eventually happened to each character. American Graffiti is the one that comes to mind, although I've seen that same technique in numerous other films. It was very satisfying to see some of those events portrayed on the screen rather than just to read about them.

I didn't have a big problem with Will & Grace losing touch with each other for those many years. Believing that could happen to two such good friends did require some sort of suspension of disbelief. And, then again, that kind of thing does happen in real life, and their long separation from each other also served to set up the situation with their becoming reunited under the unusual circumstances that they did, as well as their becoming relatives (and I thought the two actors who portrayed their college-age children were absolutely perfect, by the way). And on the plus side, it was nice to see that Will and Grace were able to find truly fulfilling relationships (with Vince and Leo respectively), something which no doubt contributed to their losing touch with each other.

Still, the highlight of the program was the final three scenes, all of which brought us full circle from the first episode. I couldn't watch any of them dry-eyed.

First there was the beautiful Karen-Jack scene with their singing of "Unforgettable," which has already been commented on several times here, and which ended with the two of them repeating a gesture that was part of their first scene together.

Then there was the wonderful Grace-Will telephone scene that mirrored the very first scene of the series. They were both watching the same television program they had been watching 20 years ago (talk about suspension of disbelief!), and some of the dialogue was identical, as well as a reference to one particular actor from that program.

The final scene took place in the same setting as the final scene of the first program, with Will choosing it as the place for the four of them to meet as he recalled what happened when they were there the last time. His reference to the other characters who were in the original scene brought to mind all the wonderful guests, both one-time and recurring, who have been a part of the program since its beginning. And then the last program ended with a kiss between the two title characters, just as the first program did.

The four leads appeared on the Today show the morning of the final program. When Katie Couric (one of the many guests on Will & Grace over the years) asked them if they were satisfied with the final episode, Eric McCormack said that it was ambitious and went far beyond the endings of most sitcoms. I found the ending completely satisfying, and just a reminder of how much I'm going to miss this modern-day version of Lucy and Ricky and Fred and Ethel. Thank goodness that we have eight years of reruns of this ground-breaking show to always enjoy.

Answer 3

didn't this happen a long time ago? anyway... i hated it. the storyline was weak and did not fit the show at all. i really liked the friends finale, and thought it was well done... i was hoping for something along that quality line.

I never liked the show at all and am happy that it is over.
