Supernatural, yes we know should've ended as long time ago. But the last episode was strange, the prior episode should've been the end. It's a glorified run of the mill episode

Dark.

I was super invested in the show, the concept of time travel and how everything (or anything) is connected (or not) if time is not linear. The end just ruined the whole flow. In my head, I actually have a different ending, which I can elaborate if anyone cares.

Las Vegas. It's a show with James Caan and Josh Duhamel that ran from 2003-2008. The finale was supposed to be a 2 parter but fell victim to the writers strike so the second part never got finished and then it got cancelled before they could wrap it up. It ended on a cliffhanger of course.

Can we mention Farscape? Without the movie it was a massive let down, with the movie it became an impossible mess. Either way, an incredible let down.

I introduced my wife to Farscape in 2008 and she absolutely fell in love with the series, as had I when I first watched it. We binged watched the entire series inside of two weeks.

We got to the final episode of season 4... And...she... was...piiiiiiiiissssssed. She absolutely abhors cliffhangers. I cannot count the number of times we've had to stay up late to finish on an episode that didn't end on a cliff hanger.

I might have forgotten to mention "The Peacekeeper War" mini-series... evil laugh.

She stomped off and made herself a cup of tea, as I was "getting Season 1 of Battlestar Galactica 2004 ready to watch". wink wink

She came back sat down on the couch and I hit play... "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!" She only uses the word "fuck" when she's truly angry BTW.

We then stayed up late to finish "The Peacekeeper War".

As to it being a mess... Yeah, I can see your point. An entire season was rammed into the equivalent of 4 episodes. I think it was done about as well as it could of been. With that said, it would have been great to get that 5th season.

It still remains as my all time favorite Sci Fi series. There was just too much creativity and uniqueness through out to just throw it out at the end as a fan.

In this thread, mostly: "Yeah, I know the show was poorly written through several seasons, but I thought the ending would at least be satisfactory."

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 4 points 1 week ago

Dexter. I noped out after the Season 3 finale where they (John Lithgow's psycho killer character) killed his wife. My gf kept watching, and was predictably pissed when they killed the sister in the series finale. I laughed like hell. I will not be watching the reboot.

I personally think it’s a great ending, even though it was intended to be a cliffhanger for the next series before cancellation, but a lot of fans didn’t like the ending of Quantum Leap where it was said that Sam never made it home.

sgu, sga, sg1 was past its prime and needed a ending as the people working on the show felt it.

both sgu and sga were cliffhanger endings that unfortunate problems like mgm losing money and bankrupting to lower vierership and cancellation. according to the showrunners, and writers they were going to be more arcs being revealed if they continued the next season for both shows.
