He’s right. It’s not fair. He’s been criticized by his boss, bullied by his wife and when he finally gets a chance to enjoy his books, his glasses break. Poor guy

The greatest Hell is to be be just out of reach of Heaven.

[@BenNCM]

This ending crushed my soul

[@brokengirrafe]

I adore how surreal the whole story was up to that point, only to have a plot twist that is so simple, yet so effective.

[@YourBestPalCal]

I love how his reaction is so basic, and you can't help but agree with him. He doesn't rage and scream and carry on. Just remarks how unfair it is lol Fantastic.

[@Floydthefuckbag]

Welp. Back to the pistol idea.

[@BendyPenguin64]

This is one of the most horrifying endings I've ever seen. Life was just the way he wanted it to be and it was taken away from him just like that. ;_;

[@hugehuman1]

Seriously though, that isn't fair.

He could always wander the wasteland till he finds a corpse with unbroken glasses with a prescription similar enough to his own It might take a few days.

When you forget to back up your games on your memory card on older game consoles and it gets destroyed and you lose all you progress.

I think I found the 18th layer of hell here. As a bookworm with a heavy eye prescription I don't think I've ever seen anything so traumatic.

"Wait, I can still read the large print books if I put them really close to my face ."

Favorite episode of the scary door.

[@RavenwolfFoxtrack]

Fallout 4 has a ref to this near the boston library and trinity plaza. Inside a pulowski preservation chamber is a skeleton clutching a book with two more books around it and a pair of eye glasses to its side.

This is easily one of the greatest endings in television history, but what always gets me isn't just how sad and horrifying it really is, but how much it reflects Beemis' life. He'd spent his time shutting people out so he could read, to escape his reality and go somewhere better. And in the end, the one thing that keeps him from facing reality- the fact that the world has quite possibly ended and everyone he knows is gone- is a chance to do nothing but read.

[@atreus4658]

This ending...this stayed with me for a long time and it's never quite left...I actually gasped when his glasses fell.

[@W0LFB3AT5]

How we ALL would feel when the Apocalypse occurs and the Internet is down permanently...

[@RollinRocker]

Then he trains Rocky for the rest of his life.

[@allysonheller9215]

One of the greatest television masterpieces of all time. Absolutely timeless.

I just read a comment saying "The greatest Hell is to be just out of reach of Heaven", it's so true too, like winning the lottery and getting run over by a dump truck in the same day and being paralyzed for life. Bad luck sucks!
