They did similar things with Deadwood and Rome, IMHO, although not as badly. And there was enough clamor over the milquetoast ending to Deadwood after season 3 that they did finally make a wrap-up movie in 2019. And the movie did a good job of satisfying a lot of the qualms I had about how the series ended in 2006. Thirteen years later, I could let it go.
I rewatch so many HBO series time and again, including these (especially Deadwood). Sticking the landing in a series finale is so vital.

Oh man, I forgot to commemorate my 20,000th post on MoFo.
Not bad I guess.
20k, talking about smashing faces in with bottles.
I forgot one last bit of trivia for Pan's Labyrinth...
About 15 minutes in, Vidal smashes a guy's face in with a bottle... this is based on something Del Toro saw when he was a teenager.
He saw a bar fight, where one guy did exactly what Vidal does. In the commentary, he explains his shock not at the act... but at the fact the victim didn't struggle, and the bottle didn't break.
Sorry to go back to the previous movie reveal, but I'm sitting watching Pan's Labyrinth right now and got reminded

The other nightmares were so much worst that that one was actually kinda relaxing. Insurance red tape and all.
Not sharing the dark ones, but I had one nightmare where I parked my FRS on a neighborhood street. And when I came back a rain storm had flooded it up to the steering column with a dropped tree on it.
