The Predator Ending
Now that May is closing, I can no longer rely on the "May sweeps" theme to my life. Part of what was making things so interesting was the expectation of worlds colliding. Didn't happen. I did visit several people and places from previous chapters, but a lot of the ratings-boosting efforts turned out to be just a tease. Maybe if you condense the entire summer into one week, that would be exciting, but as it stands, May is leaving with an ambiguous ending that is simultaneously satisfying and unfulfilling. I think it would be appropriate if May ended with the dramatis personae in the style of Predator or Con Air, wich each of the characters grinning, one by one—including those who never smiled. Just to add a finishing touch of surrealism.

Oh, I thought you meant the actual ending of Predator... like you, realizing you were thwarted, would flip open the control panel on your forearm, and nuke the base from orbit.
Just to be sure.
Wait a minute--
