I'm not sure the one case that can be made is that turning the ghost light off made more sense... i think it's kind of lazy, and a good director would also have been able to see turning it on and walking out in a way that felt like an end, in a beautiful way.
I don't remember the end of the show, but I bet there is an even better way to end it that makes actual sense in the context of the world the characters are in. Turning off the lights of the writers room, for example, or the work lights of the theater, or unplugging the countdown-to-show clock, whatever it is. |
