Can we please FUCKING stop censoring SHIT words like FUCK, or RAPE, or whatever?
Just write what you want to write. If you feel the need to crawl into a fetus position under your bed when you see any of these words then maybe put some space between yourself and the Internet. Go touch grass, live happy! Just stop being so… Childish?
i think people who make this argument generally take the whole thing a little too seriously. at this point i’ve started censoring fuckwords in memes bc i think it’s funny that it seems to upset some folk so much.
I take it seriously because it is a sliding scale. I’ve been on the Internet since the 90s and I have seen it slide like there is no tomorrow and every time some new censorship comes up making people talk weird.
Just stop it, just talk normal
The irony is the woke people weren’t the ones asking for DEI or genderless bathrooms. It was the removed forcing people to resort to “seggs” instead of sex. “Unalive” instead of kill and “unhoused” instead of homeless and can go on and on. It’s fucking dumb lol.
the original impetus behind that censorship comes from social media and content providers. it seeped into the public lexicon from there.
it wasn’t some organized effort by people you don’t like, that’s a silly thing to think.
I dunno’, I don’t like advertisers, and they’re organized, so it definitely was organized by people many don’t like. Just not the people the other guy is pointing fingers at.
hear hear!
Umm, could we not use slurs?
Not sure if it counts as a cliffhanger, but Westworld set itself up for a second season and then just nothing.
Err weren’t there 3 seasons of Westworld?
Doesn’t look like anything to me
Westworld is my answer to but unironically. Second season wasn’t really bad, third season seemed pretty bad but after the fourth season it made much more sense. The fourth season was pretty interesting actually, and seemed like it was setting up a fifth season that tied everything together.
I’m convinced a fifth season would have justified the decisions they made in the middle seasons.
i was told if i enjoyed it, i should stop watching after season one and watch the movie instead.
damn was it ever a good season though
My Name Is Earl’s series finale is now a reddit post
Every cancelled show should be so lucky as to have a writer finish the story, even if it’s just the outlines of a script.
Santa Clarita Diet :(
Finding out that Netflix cancelled this was up there with Firefly getting cancelled. This show was so damn good
Careful, you’ll upset the Firefly fandom.
The worst part for me is they built up 3 seasons worth of story and lore just to forget it completely. Such a waste.
True. If they had cancelled it after one season, I probably wouldn’t have been as annoyed but 3 seasons and then a cliff hanger just why…
And worse, they still advertise it and recommend it to new subscribers :(
Haven’t had Netflix in a while, but that’s hilarious. They should have a section for all the shows they killed. So you know what to expect.
It’s all part of Netflix’s plan to create the ultimate crossover multiverse: the cancelverse. A few years from now they’ll make a single season of a crossover show concluding all of the canceled series all at once.
But they’ll cancel it too before the final episode airs.
Now I want a show like this lol
I don’t consider that a cliffhanger though. It kinda works as a “and they lived happily ever after”. It’s just that everybody wanted to see what the ever after was like.
Maybe we are remembering it differently, but i remember it was a huge cliffhanger, she was falling apart and not healing properly, and there was the stuff about the knights of serbia, none of it was resolved.
And i believe the thing in the jar came alive as well?
Raised by wolves had so much potential. So did stargate universe.
Any love out there for ReBoot? Absolutely revolutionary show and it ended on a cliffhanger.
Reboot was the first one I thought of too. Such a fantastic show that didn’t get a real ending.
I came on here to mention ReBoot, how they gonna save Mainframe from ole Megabutt this time? He’s got webby powers and he’s fuckin pissed!
So ‘The Lost Room’ had a lot of unrealized potential. It at least managed to tie up and close the main loop.
Maybe it came too soon vs the concepts of anomolus objects become popular later.
I really feel like that mini series was a “backdoor pilot” that just never got off the ground there was so much potential for an episodic show in there.
“Two by two, hands of blue.”
I’m a leaf on the wind.
Terriers.
It’s a great crime drama with comedy mixed in. Has nothing to do with dogs and is just one of those unfortunately names shows.
As a mild spoiler the show actually has a great ending. It certainly sets up for future seasons and I really want to watch those seasons, but given that it was cancelled, it’s actually a solid ending.

This is fine, and if you are writing your season finale with no new deal in place for more, this is what you should do. You don’t have to close the door on the characters’ adventures, just leave them in an appropriate place for the previous season’s threads.
You have to “Calvin & Hobbes” the finale.
TV producers and showrunners are too fucking greedy.
They all act as if it’s still the year 1995 and they’re dropping cliffhangers like crazy as if they’re gonna run for 8, 9, 10 seasons - despite knowing full well that most of the shows out there these days are never making it past season 1 or 2.
Compare this to almost every popular book series. Books works on the basis that although it’s a series, each individual book holds up as a satisfying experience with a beginning, middle and end. Every book leaves you wanting more, but yet, still happy with what you’re read.
The Jack Reacher TV series works wonderfully in this way because - surprise surprise - it’s an adaptation of the books. Every season is its own crime, and every season wraps that case up nicely.
More of that please - I want to watch shows which respect me as a viewer, not shows which mess me around.
Flashforward and Stargate Universe both ended on cliffhangers after two seasons within a year of each other. Just as I was healing and willing to give TV a chance again, they canceled Helix. Also on a cliffhanger after two seasons.
2005 was a bad year for cancelled sci-fi series that were good, actually. Surface, Threshold and Invasion, all excellent, all cancelled after one season. I’m still upset.
Incorporated and Alphas. I’m still really annoyed at Netflix for cancelling Altered Carbon and Shadow and Bone as well. They don’t deserve my money if all they do is back out of finishing stories.
Can you imagine if they made a second season of altered carbon? After how good the one season was I’m sure it would have been great
Man fuck Netflix in general. The big one for me was The Society, which hit especially hard because they renewed it, and then cancelled it just says before they started shooting season 2. Sure “because COVID” or whatever, but heaps of other productions just hit pause, rather than cancelling outright something that had already received the green light. And because it was a show literally founded on its mystery. Its genre is literally “mystery drama”, so not being able to reveal the mystery and satisfactorily pay off the clues is so much worse than any story where there isn’t a mystery driving the story.
Also First Kill, a sapphic vampire romance drama/coming of age. And Lockwood & Co. which only really grabbed me near the end, but I found out about from others who were way more into and were very disappointed once it was cancelled.
At this point I don’t even try starting a Netflix show unless it’s already got a few seasons under its belt. And I know I’m not alone. Which undoubtedly just reinforces the problem.
rip Duckman
Lol I don’t watch new shows these days. Can’t get fooled again.
Yeah I just can’t get invested in a plot like that solely depends on some corporate shithead being happy with the profits to get a proper ending.
If you started creating the show you should be obligated to give it some kind of damn ending.
Clone High’s first season did this. Two decades later, the show got revived. Good news too, because IMO the new seasons are even better than the original.
If you started the show ages ago but haven’t checked out the new episodes, I highly recommend it.
