Worst endings ever

Two things:
First, assuming what you say is true and I can't, how can you claim to know how the writers "meant it to be seen" any better than I can?
Second, and this also regards another thing you said:
How does seeing the writers' message equal liking the episode? Basically, can you think of a single episode ever that you didn't like in spite of understanding it just fine?
 
Plus in a later ep, Grimes' son blames Homer for his father's death. He got arrested in the end though. Plus Grimes was insecure how he struggled through life (which he should blame his deadbeat parents for), only to realize how easy Homer had it (he was clearly at the plant longer, had more friends, etc.), and was jealous.
 
All right, look, it's blatantly obvious at this point that nothing is ever going to make you like the episode. I don't want to change your opinion - all I can do is explain my own.

The DVD commentary explains what the point of the episode is. The fans who support the episode have explained what the point of the episode is. Many people who dislike the episode don't know what the point of the episode is. Evidently, though, you do get the point and you still don't think it's funny. There's really nothing I or anyone else can do to change that, so let us abandon this topic of conversation and allow each other to go on with our lives.

(And for the record, there is an episode that I understand and still don't like - 5F07 "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace", which I already covered earlier in this thread.)
 
Just like "Two Bad Neighbors" another episode I really like. Most people just don't understand what it is about this episode that's so funny.

I guess you have to know something about George Bush to be able to find it funny.
 
Danny Phantom: Reality Trip. The ending made an entire 45 minute episode completely pointless. It made me so mad I stopped watching DP altogether after this.
 
What I have REAL trouble with RT, and Juniper Lee's "Witch Ain't Dead," is that there's no sense of Jack and Maddie (or Jody, Ophelia, Roger et al) managing "Wait a minute!" before the time line is reset. That the last our young heroes see is their loved ones hurt or angry that they're not trusted. You cannot expect me to believe his parents wouldn't be upset about Danny refusing to trust them (June I'm forgiving; she was forced to with GREAT reluctance and vain pleading).

Both episode touch upon another reason I hate reset eps where there's a big show dynamic change: If the writers go "Ulp! Never happened!"... WhyTF should I care when it happens for real?!
 
...that may be the most mature conclusion to an Internet debate I've ever seen.

Oh, and aye, I'm with Reality Trip. So much great stuff - great villain, with great power, alongside the Guys in White, that werewolf girl, oh, and Danny's secret finally getting out - all wasted. Bah.
 
Teen Titans: Things Change - This ending left a number of questions unanswered and introduced a few in the process.

Spiderman TAS Finale - Ending this amazing show with a cliff hanger was stupid.

Danny Phantom Reality Trip: You watched this long episode just for it to cease to exest.
 
There were no "unanswered questions" in "Things Change", but there's an entire thread about this episode in the DC Comics Forum, so I won't get into it here.

Also, Spider Man :TAS did not end on a cliffhanger, but that's already been elaborated on here also.
 
It wasn't really a cliffhanger - he saved reality, met Stan Lee, etc. It's not like they stopped a story halfway through. It was more of a "the adventure continues" kind of thing.
There were plenty of unanswered questions, which I've defended on that same thread. I never got an answer on a few points, for that matter.
 
Last episode of Mighty Max: Great series, but the final episode basically pressed the reset button, going right back to the beginning of the series and starting over.
 
Okay, here's the definitive reason of why I hate Things Change (besides the reasons I've stated before). Bringing back Terra, just for Beast Boy to move from her again wasn't necessary at all. Beast Boy had done an adequate enough job of getting over Terra when season 2 ended, she was mostly just a memory in the back of his mind at that point. Was it really necessary to retread old ground just so Beast Boy would have to get over what happened to her again?

Yes, I get the fact that they were trying to emphasize that Things Change(pun intended). But there was absolutely no reason to bring her back just to show Beast Boy had moved on from her(...again). Terra fans aside, viewers are given no reason to care about Terra because we don't know how she came back. It's kind of hard to care about a girl that Beast Boy interacts with when we don't know what happened with her. Thus my compassion for what happens to Beast Boy in this story feels hollow, because we are given no exposition in terms of Terra's story.

For the record, I thought Titans Together did a better of showing that Beast Boy had matured and had become a more competent hero than Things Change did.

In conclusion, I know that the writers tried to do a sad moving on story, but I just find myself not caring for the story because to me find the plot holes and unanswered questions to be road blocks for my enjoyment. But for the most part, it's because retreading old ground (like a Cyborg episode) wasn't necessary in the grand scheme of things.
