I don't think it's so much "bored" as "doesn't know how to land the plane he's hurled into the air". Which is a weak critique, I suppose -- it's only because his imagination is so awesome, and his setups are so awesome, that his endings are so weak. But still.
No. That’s a fair critique. Rereading The Stand, having read it years ago, was an interesting experience;
the characterisations, the descriptions, the situations were all amazing… the payoff and ending meh
