I have noticed that I have a psychological block around watching the final episode of a TV show. I have one episode left of multiple shows that I really love, and I want to watch the finales, but I can never bring myself to do it. Is this a thing? Does it mean something about me? How can I watch the last episode of “The L Word”? — Ariel

I don’t know if this is a thing, but I’ve done it too. I’ve never watched the series finale of “Pushing Daisies,” one of my true love favorites. If I’ve never seen the last episode, then the show is not truly over for me; it’s like a little denial relic, consecrating a stupid but tender section of my heart. I’m saving it, and when the day comes that I really need it, I’ll know.

Here’s what it means about you: It means you have vivid emotional reactions to art and entertainment, and that’s something to treasure about yourself, not something to change.

The only danger here is being spoiled, but at this point I don’t think it’s a major concern, partially because “The L Word” isn’t really plot-oriented and also because it’s kind of a terrible finale. There’s an “L Word” sequel coming out this fall; turn your heart and energy toward the new. If you ever need this finale, it’ll be there.
