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.
bsg is one of the ones people were upset at about, made it too christiany-messianic messaging. plus the showrunner largely forgot about the show, and instead wanted to write caprica which was a failed show too.
i only watched it because they went to sg1 shortly after it ended(claudia and ben browder) Claudia at least found some work later on, "originals" i dont know what ben has been doing.
