I've never actually watched the series, but I know enough about the situation in "The Sentinel by Blair Sandburg" to know that a) there were other and better ways of resolving it and b) the way they picked wouldn't actually work.

I'm actually going to respectfully disagree with you, here. I think this was one of the strongest episodes in the show (at last, a script Burgi and Maggart could do something with!) and I think it's a fine ending to the series. There's a way in which the whole series shows us Blair's character-development arc; though the show (like his thesis) is called "The Sentinel," there's an argument to be made that the one who changes over the course of the series is Blair. From worshipful wannabe to genuine partner; from sidekick to fellow hero. And there are some excellent, excellent post-TSbyBS stories that (to me) illustrate why the ending works. I used to maintain a list of my favorite post-series stories. I haven't added to it in a while, but it's still a good list of links to good, good stuff. It's here (http://www.trickster.org/kass/tsbybs.html).

(You're totally entitled to your opinion about how the show ended, obviously -- I just wanted to agitate briefly for it being a good ending, at least in my mind. :-)
