      I wonder how the person who’s decision it was to cancel firefly feels about this now. Do you think they were under a lot of pressures because of funding, or they just weren’t that into the show, or was there a new show they wanted to divert funding to. Wonder what the story was there.

      I don’t think The Expanse was really cancelled rather than it was ended at a story point that makes sense to continue from sometime in the future. There’s something like a decade long time skip and a huge thematic shift between books 6 and 7.

        Yep, same characters too except they made the kaylee character into an adult pretending to be a child which was weird.

        Apparently there’s a new dark matter on apple

    Limitless. It was just starting to get to the good shit when they cancelled it!

    I was also upset by Star Gate Universe’s cancellation. I hadn’t been a fan of StarGate prior to its release. Seen a couple bits here and there but never just watched the show. After going through SG-1 and Atlantis, I can see why OG fans didn’t like Universe. But I still think it was great on its own, as someone who knew nothing about the OG series when I saw it. But, if they do re-explore the same story and ideas, I’d want it to be the same campy shit that SG-1 was, instead of the serious tones Universe had.

    All time? Freaks and geeks. Was becoming the quintessential coming of age show, had hard lessons that were from the point of real kids growing up. Each character was relatable in their own way, and should have gone on for years.

    Second to that is Arrested Development. And yeah it was rebooted but the cast had moved on. The show was on a great role and was just ahead of its time. The episodic nature of it just wasn’t popular then.

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I would have loved to see how they planned to resolve that cliffhanger.

    Firefly and Pushing Daisies are staples in these conversations, so I’ll throw in a less common one: NCIS LA.

    I watched that show for over a decade. It was something predictable and comfortable. The show ending was like losing my favourite hoodie I’ve had for 14 years. Does it really impact my life? No. Do I miss it nonetheless? Yes.

      I stopped sometime during season 3 or 4, can’t remember. Without spoiling anything if I decide to pick it up again: do we know what G stands for? Don’t tell me, just nod or something.

    Santa Clarita Diet and Carnivale. HBO axed Carnivale, Deadwood and Rome back to back, and I still hold a grudge.

    Edit: Enterprise and Lower Decks also still sting. Lower Decks is ao fucking brilliant and I hate that no one watches it!

      Enterprise was ruined by Les moonves, he specifically hates the show. It’s still far better than the 3 nutrek series( I called them post jj Abrams.

    Raised by wolves. Atheism vs Religion into the stars. It was so good and so much of the buildup was about to come to fruition. GAH!
