Episodic Synopsis in Pitch Bible, write ending?

HAving searched these forums I'm aware that within the Pitch Bible should be a synopisis of several episodes in the first season, as well as some future ones to show that the show can go on for as long as necessary.

If this is the case is it important to actually write how The Ending, so that it is clear how the middle section of the story can be padded out or not?

Thanks in advance...

the point is to show how the show progresses and how the characters develop or can develop.

it does not have to be about the begin - middle - end per se.

Besides, why would you want to show it ending? you can map out the entire first season and map out the season two opener, then leave it at that.

just my 0.02c

Thanks, that sounds sensible enough.

So is this kind of thing that should be done for the syposis of one episode?

[COLOR=red]Pass or Fail: Survival Test Naruto finally meets his new sensei. His name is Kakashi Hatake. He tells the group that before they could become Genin, they will have to pass his survival test. The problem is, the test has a 66% chance of failure, and if they fail they'll be sent back to the academy. To make matters even worse, one of them will fail no matter what. Can the three pass Kakashi's test?[/COLOR]

Should they end on an exicting cliff hanger like this, or should the whole thing just be laid out in its entirity so the execs can clearly see the whole overview?

i think the suspense works better when you are marketing something to the audience but not to someone who will buy a show. they need to get an idea of the complete picture (or as much as possible)

it would be fine to take that TONE but not the entire way. you can raise the question and then answer it. sort of.
