    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.

        The irony is the woke people weren’t the ones asking for DEI or genderless bathrooms. It was the retards 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.

    Not sure if it counts as a cliffhanger, but Westworld set itself up for a second season and then just nothing.

      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.

      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.

      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…

              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.

      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.

      Reboot was the first one I thought of too. Such a fantastic show that didn’t get a real ending.

    I was pretty upset when Kaos got cancelled. I didn’t even think I’d like it, but absolutely loved it. I guess the creator has three seasons in mind, a short series, and they cancelled it after one.

    Mad disappointed. It still plays okay as a first season, but my god I want to know what happened next

    Revolution

    Technically 2 seasons, and man it had a lot of potential building up before canceled. Shame.

    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.

    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.

    Stargate Universe. Still hurts.

    It was such a good show, and such a huge cliffhanger, and it hurt so much… That for awhile it literally stopped me from watching any show that wasn’t already concluded with a guaranteed ending.

    Heck, my friends tried to get me to watch Firefly for YEARS, and I was like heck no. They killed it before its time.

    These days I’m better. Watched Firefly, it was awesome, and worth it, but belongs here too. At least it got a movie to wrap it up.

    Funny enough, they just cancelled another show I like, Resident Alien, and the posts are right next to each other:
