        I didn’t want to see them quickly tied off though, I wanted to see them expand into grand story arcs.

        A reboot would be very welcome.

          I am mixed. A reboot would be nice but everyone, myself included would compare it to the nostalgia in our head.
          Also I have heard that Whedon is somewhat problematic now. If that is true we would probably want someone with less baggage at the helm :(

          Found this that I need to read to see whats up https://www.vulture.com/2021/05/complete-timeline-joss-whedon-allegations.html

          Hopefully he isn’t an ass.

          Edit: Welp I read that. It is gross. Whedon hasn’t commented on it but a whole host of his cast and crew are accusing him of lots of bad stuff including one part where they said he wasn’t allowed to be alone with Michelle Trachtenberg when she was 14.

          I obviously have no idea if any or all of the accusations are true.

              Honestly I didn’t do my due diligence before. I had heard rumblings about it for years but didn’t look in to it either. It sucks. We have a culture that rewards you for making people money above all else and at all costs.

          I’d love to see a whole spinoff just on Book’s back story. I’m so curious about who he was and what lead him to become the Shepherd we know and love.

      Yeah, this. It was such an interesting premise, an engaging cast, and really seemed to be going someplace interesting. Would’ve loved to see it get enough time to find its voice. Even their bottle episode was great fun.

      I probably shouldn’t be surprised, but I can’t freaking believe that someone has the same two answers as me. We’ll get through this, friend.

    I wish the answer here was “Westworld”.

    That first season was perfect television. And that season finale? My god. I was so excited to watch season 2 and it… just fell short on all fronts. It has its moments, but ultimately failed to measure up to that first season.

    Which would have been okay, but then season 3 and 4 happened, and diluted the overall quality of the show to a point where I stopped recommending the show to anyone and just tell them to stick to S1.

    I want to live in a timeline where we left off on that S1 ending wondering what could have been.

      I need more Veridian Dynamics.

      Also, casting Linda as Ted Lasso’s wife and having her say “Ted” was one of the most jarring experiences I’ve had watching TV. All suspension of reality was completely broken.

      Expanse ended on a good point. We would probably need at least 2 seasons to finish up the final trilogy. If one extra season would be all we got, I’d not want it tbh.

        They could finish the series with a final season if you cut out the politics after the time jump. Really just take the last book and maybe a few parts from 7 and 8 and you could make a complete story.

          It could be done some way I’m sure, but I’m not sure if it would be as good as it could. We saw what a rushed final season can do to a show with GoT (extreme example, I know).

          I’m still comfused why they included the Weird Dogs story though, it left the show more open ended for apparently no good reason.

    Stargate Universe. First season was garbage, but from like half of season 2 forward it was really good, and it ended on a huge cliff hanger

    Caprica.

    They never really gave it a chance. It was slow at first but then started building suspense and drama and I was hooked and then devastated when they cancelled it.

    Limitless was such a good TV show - funny with great character dynamic. I watched it on Netflix and thought it was a glitch when I got through the last episode of the first season and nothing else came up. It was another victim of CBS chopping decent shows to keep on dreck.

    Hannibal and Dead Like Me get mentioned every time this thread is made, but for good reason.

    I still can’t believe they cancelled Arrested Development after 3 seasons and never made any more.

    I Am Not Okay With This

    Had a great first season on Netflix, then got cancelled. I think it had to do with COVID, but still, that was a horrible cliffhanger ending. Any kind of continuation would be amazing.
