Title Sequence That Tells the Ending

Opening or closing credits that quietly contain the destination: a recurring image of the hero floating face-up in his own pool, a logo that accrues a little more blood every week, a model house whose corridors rearrange because one room has been pretending to be many, a wall mural painting the monsters the show has not admitted to yet, four notes of the villain's song smuggled under a cheerful jingle. Because credits art is commissioned once and replayed every episode — and because audiences train themselves to skip it — this is the one place a series can state its ending out loud every single week and still be believed when it denies everything.
