[QUOTE="Nuclear Platypus, post: 2767158, member: 17507"] Ditto on the Farscape remarks. Several threads were too quickly tied up (return of Jool and Jothee, "Sputnik" not quite dying, the Human / Sebecean connection and their relationship to the Eidelons) for my tastes. Married... With Children kinda fizzled out and a couple of cast members didn't know the show was cancelled til they read about it IIRC. But there were only so many twists on plot lines they could do. Kind of sad for a flagship show that put Fox in contention with the Big Three networks. Transformers! Remember how big the "Return of Optimus Prime" was? They could've left off with the movie where all the old toys die to make room for the new ones but the absolute finale had Optimus Prime returning to use the Matrix as a cure for the Hate Plague as well as returning as the leader of the Autobots. IIRC, the GI Joe movie (with Cobra-La) was something of a test since Duke was supposed to die yet they changed the dialogue at the end with him somehow surviving the snake arrow through the chest. "Shot through the heart and Serpentor's to blame." To add insult to injury, they shark jump with Cobra Commander returning somewhat to human shape, Serpentor devolved into a snake and the formation of the Python Patrol or somesuch to milk a lil more toys out of the franchise. While Brisco County Jr at least tied up all the loose ends (that I recall anyways), the ending didn't feel right given how much Fox had to have spent on its ad campaign for that show. I mean there wasn't even a Christmas themed episode! Didn't the War of the Worlds series have something of a craptacular ending with an even moreso reboot? Mystery Science Theater 3000! Man, that ending was lamer than a 2 legged horse. Samurai Jack. At least they could've ended it where the foolish samurai warrior finally beats the mighty Aku then returns to the past to set things right. They did it with Trunks in Dragonball Z (sort of). And the "lost episodes" were the final four that Cartoon Network was just sitting on. Star Wars: Clone Wars. Hellooooo? What the heck kinda ending is that? It's like it was some sort of leadin to a movie. The Flash. Man, I wanted to see that one last longer maybe facing more of his Rogue's Gallery (Trickster was it wasn't he?). Heck, the Hulk finally ended when the Not So Jolly Green Giant fell out of a plane, changing back to David Banner before crashing. I suppose that's sort of final but no Shehulk? [/QUOTE]
