prov. The generalized or `folk' version of Murphy's Law, fully named "Finagle's Law of Dynamic Negatives" and usually rendered "Anything that can go wrong, will".
The label `Finagle's Law' was popularized by science fiction author Larry Niven in several stories depicting a frontier culture of asteroid miners; this `Belter' culture professed a religion and/or running joke involving the worship of the dread god Finagle and his mad prophet Murphy. Some technical and scientific cultures know it under the name Sod's Law; this usage may be more common in Great Britain.

Get the finale stuff mug.Those episodes of a show that don't attribute to the plot or the rest of the season, it is only there to make more episodes in the season. Theses can be like Holiday Specials, Musical Episodes, and Crossovers for instance. We usually express our emotion in a love-hate relationship.
Barry - Ugh I hate that episode where The Flash and Supergirl have to sing in a Broadway show, I just wanted to see him stop Savitar.
Cisco - Relax dude, it is just a Finale Staller, they just want you to get even more amped up for the finale.

Get the Post Finale Emptiness Syndrome (PFES) mug.(N.) The final episode of a TV series where all mysteries are solved and all questions are usually answered.
Most Series Finales come from arrogant networks canceling their time-tested quality shows for "New Viewers" and do not happen by choice. Only when a long-overdue-for-canceling show (Like "Friends") decides to actually stop doing episodes anymore, are Series Finales by choice.
A Series Finale doesn't count if a show has been on for less than One Season, or 13-22 episodes. So "The Will", "DotComedy", or "Life On A Stick" would not offically have a "Series Finale."

Beginning in 2004, networks started to cancel at least one of their top-rated TV shows, in order to boost ratings for next season. So when The WB's "Angel", UPN's "Star Trek: Enterprise" and Fox's "24" had their Series Finales, they weren't going to come back next year. EVER.
