    Lodge 49. Someone mentioned that one of the stars said they would jump at the chance to restart the show. You would think that struggling streaming networks would pick up shows that have built-in following.

    came to say its still firefly. Just watching serenity and I have not since it came out. Even bought the blue ray and did not watch it at the time. I have to say I like it a bit more. I think I was so sad at all the plot lines I could see them snip at the time that it just sorta depressed me when I watched it in the theater.

    they cancelled blood of zeus, because they dint want to continue the series, it was meant to go on for another 3 seasons. also heard netflix made any showrunners from cancelled shows legally unable to go to another network to continue the series.

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I'm not a big Terminator-head, only seen half of the movies, but that was the version of Terminator I really got into.

    TSCC ENDING SPOILERS, STAY OUTThe decision to end the show by having John jump into the post-apocalyptic future was wild, from a production standpoint. You have this show that's in permanent danger of being cancelled and you go "What if we set up our ending so the next season is guaranteed to blow the budget because we can't just film in present-day California any more?" It was a great hook, but I wonder whether they could have gotten a third season if they'd presented a smaller target.

    I loved this show! But the abrupt "ending" just left so many plot points unanswered that I can't rewatch it at all, because I get disappointed. The acting was quite impressive, especially Lena Hedley (Sarah Connor), who went on to play Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones

    A lot of great performances, absolutely. And the long-form presentation is really what gave Summer Glau room to do the kind of "robot becomes human" work that is not really possible in the movies.

    I agree that the ending is kind of too specific to be satisfying. I don't mind ambiguous or open endings that leave you wondering (maybe forever) what will come next, but the ending we got told us too much and not enough at the same time.

    TSCC ENDING SPOILERS, STAY OUTI feel like cutting the episode slightly early would have worked better if they wanted to craft a "maybe we'll get a season 3, maybe this is the end" situation. If the cliffhanger was "Will John stay in the present or jump into the future?" and the show got cancelled there, there's nothing promised about where this story is headed and the possibilities for what adventures come next are basically endless. Instead, the show told us exactly what direction the story was going in and then ... didn't do it. That's worse to me.

    The forever answer to this is Firefly.

    But as for others: Babylon 5, Threshold, Black Books.

    Is that the absolutely terrible boat show?

    Empty characters. Nothing makes sense. Absolute waste of time. I wish Netflix paid a fine for all that wasted time into such disgusting "mistery" cashgrab.

    To be fair, I wouldn't call anything like that a cashgrab.

    That stuff is expensive and risky.

    The Santa Clarita Diet

    It was stupid fun and a different take on the zombie genre with black humor (making death or violence humorous..not the racist one) and only had about one more season to wrap things up

    Fuck you Netflix

    Also ....can I add Dark Angel?

    Wheel of Time. Incredible story that I've read and reread since I was a child, combined with a stellar cast and some minor changes to have better LGBTQ rep. It got really good and then they axed it.

    Carnivàle was the first time I was hurt by a cancellation. It is still the hurtest hurt.

    The Patriot on prime it's the best show nobody's watched. Black Summer on netflix was a sensational zombie show they really shouldn't have cancelled

    Just Patriot, The Patriot is that Mel Gibson movie people think I'm talking about when I tell them they need to watch Patriot immediately.

    Perpetual Grace LTD was pretty good too, probably saw less views because it was exclusive to another premium channel no one cared enough to pay for.

    Rome

    It was game of thrones, before game of thrones.

    I don't think so. It didn't seem like it had an ending. It was multiple interacting stories. Game of thrones was more a battle for the throne. Rome was more the political plays within the world. There wasn't a constant build of good versus evil that required a conclusion.

    Almost Human

    Karl Urban and Michael Ealy made a great pair.

    Farscape

    One more season instead if the 2 part TV movie we got trying to hastily wrap it all up.

    Santa Clarita Diet. I just liked the characters, the actors have some real strong performances, and the plot was going down some interesting paths with the society of zombie hunters.

    Much less a cancellation and more of a "setup and abandoned".

    Season 1 of Picard setup a new and interesting crew for a spin off series. Never happened.

    Season 3 of Picard did so again, but it also looks like nothing will come of it.

    Better Off Ted was SO GOOD 😭

    Edit: Almost forgot about Day 5. It was a Rooster Teeth webseries and some of that showed in the script and acting, tbh. But holy shit it was such a cool premise. Big mad that I'll probably never find out wtf happens to that world.

    I watched it well after it stopped airing and went in completely blind. I'm glad I did because I never would have watched it had I known it was dropped.

    My disappointment that it was cancelled and without even the typical half-assed conclusion to the story is immeasurable, but it left me with a lot more sympathy and understanding towards fans of other series that met similar fates like Firefly.

    Enterprise and Pushing Daisies

    enterprise and SGU, im not impressed with nutrek, the way they messed with the continuity in the new series(3 series).

    Enterprise was intentional due to Les moonves inteference, i believe the final episode(the poorly recieved and written) was the FU to the viewers from him

    SGU was started to get good at season 2, but it was far too late to save it, plus mgm was also bankrupting at the time.

    I know Discovery is a bit hokey, but do you not even find the charm and generally upbeat tone of SNW more alike to TOS?

    I gritted my teeth through discovery mostly because I was watching it with my housemate, but SNW really felt like I was a kid again watching TOS with my uncle who passed away 15 years ago.

    its probably the acting, they need new ones to be honest. and not one that copies kurtzman trek, i think thats where the problem is. apparently its going to be only until S5 before snw is cancelled.

    Westworld. It was the final sason, had already been renewed, was already in pre-production, and they paid all the actors. But new management trashed it for a tax writeoff

    Raised By Wolves

    It was a polarizing show, but my sci-fi heart loved it. Also the intro music was hauntingly beautiful.

    ROP was pretty bad, shouldve been cancelled, also it costed billions for 2 season. i believe it sucked up all the budget that couldve gone to the other prime shows, like invincible, WOT,,,etc.

    I know that a lot of teh fans of the original anime series hated it, but I never liked that and really enjoyed the live action one.

    Also Star Trek: Prodigy.
