Fixing A Side Story in Cold Case (w/ relevant background :)

So Cold Case, is about a group of detectives who solve cold cases. As well as this throughout in every episode 2 or 3 characters have their own personal clips.

Detective Scotty Vallens' (played by Danny Pino) personal story is that his mother gets robbed and raped by a serial rapist and we have about 2 hours worth of great clips showing everything that was going on and then the end. Another detective is talking about this random Mexican he saw doing wheelies or something and so he matches the rapist's description so Scotty breaks this guy's door down and beats him up after finding his mother's I.D. card. LAME!!!

Detective Scotty Vallens' (played by Danny Pino) personal story is that his mother gets robbed and raped by a serial rapist and we have about 2 hours worth of great clips showing everything that was going on and then the end IS AWESOME!!! He takes his mother to a resteraunt and she's a man come out of the toilets. She says "Oh My God - It's him" and Scotty runs and yells Philly P.D YOU PIECE OF SCUM and arrests him. MUCH BETTER!!!

How would you fix Game of Thrones?

You have three more episodes to add. You can kill any of the surviving characters or prevent them from dying in the final season. What would you change? What arcs would you add?

Request: Can someone fix the ending of the manga/anime series Bleach?

i really liked the series back in the day but the ending just felt kinda lackluster. the final battle was underwhelming, and I know this all happened because of weird time constraints and disputes between the author and publisher, but i just wanted something better.

How I would fix the ending of Gerald's Game

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Gerald's Game is a Netflix original movie that came out in 2017, directed by Mike Flanagan, starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood, and based off of the Stephen King novel of the same name.

Personally I loved this movie, I thought the writing was fantastic and the visuals were absolutely terrifying at times. If given the chance though, I would change the ending.

SPOILERS BELOW

So as the film reaches its end, Jessie finally manages to escape the handcuffs and manages to get to safety after crashing her car and being helped by good samaritans. Personally, I think the film could have ended there, if anything they could have included a little afterward showing Jessie recovering from her injuries while still being haunted by her demons. The movie does not end there though, it still has about 5 minutes if runtime left. In this time it is revealed that the terrifying Moonlight Man that had been haunting Jessie during her time handcuffed to the bed was not a hallucination, and was in fact a deranged serial killer who had been roaming the area and happened across her while she was vulnerable (it is explained that the killer favored male victims and that is why he didn't harm Jessie). The movie concludes with Jessie confronting the killer at his trial and saying something along the lines of, "You're so much smaller than I remember."

Granted this is not a terrible ending, and it does give Jessie's character closure and wraps everything up in a nice little bow with our lead finally standing up to the demons of her past and present, while leaving the audience with the knowledge that Jessie has moved on and things are looking up for her.

In my opinion, the ending would have been much more poignant and thought provoking if it had been left up to the audience to decide whether or not the Moonlight Man was real or not. Both endings are satisfactory in their own ways, while one just leaves the viewer with more closure while the other ending leaves us to make our own conclusions.
