Cancelling TV Shows - Here's an Idea

[Cold Fusion38]

There will ALWAYS going to be "MIND *****" in shows that are BASED on time travel. And I LOVED Star Trek but after about the 4th or 5th time they went to the Time Travel barrel it got a bit old. But hey you've got to hand it to the guy who though a good story line would be destroying TWO HOMEWORLDS. Guys got nuts(or is nuts) I'll give him that.

Mini-series? You aren't talking about the Sci-Fi channel's version I hope, I refused to even acknowledge that one. I was young when it first started, and grew up watching it religiously. Had to have been a teen by the time they ended it, though the last season fell flat ... but meh.

Aaah ... what turned into the first season. Originally yes, it was to be a mini-series, but interest in the series convinced them to make it a full show.

I just finished watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (on DVD, BTW) and of course it ended on somewhat of a cliff-hanger and of course the show got canceled.

I don't mind if a show is canceled with low ratings, but some of us need closure. Before the network tears the sets down, make like a 1-2 hour finale that officially ends the series. It doesn't even need to be shown on TV. Just put it on DVD! I bet the network would recoup the cost of the episode and it would make a lot of fans (of whatever show gets canceled) very happy.

Closure? Why don't you write your own ending...then you and your friends can watch it together...

Any T.V. show with it's basis in time travel then it is going to have weak writing. I mean the last Star Trek movie!!!! They DESTROYED TWO HOME WORLDS. They made the Vulcans and Romulans homeless so on and so forth. ANYTHING you think you MAY know about Star Trek DOESN'T EXSIST because the timeline is TOTALLY FUCKED.....

Sorry went on a rant hope I didn't ruin the movie for ya.


But I liked Surface. 1 season and left wih a cliffhanger. I liked the little creature the kid had. I called it a Lotter. Part lizard part otter.

yea they fucked all those people who watched Surface....i was one...

Is it really hard to imagine, reading this thread, that the right wing pea brains that ran our government for 8 years had to shut down decision making during the summer, because Fox's 24 was in reruns...

The Bauer of Suggestion
Our torture policy has deeper roots in Fox television than the Constitution.

The most influential legal thinker in the development of modern American interrogation policy is not a behavioral psychologist, international lawyer, or counterinsurgency expert. Reading both Jane Mayer's stunning The Dark Side and Philippe Sands' The Torture Team, I quickly realized that the prime mover of American interrogation doctrine is none other than the star of Fox television's 24: Jack Bauer.

This fictional counterterrorism agent—a man never at a loss for something to do with an electrode—has his fingerprints all over U.S. interrogation policy. As Sands and Mayer tell it, the lawyers designing interrogation techniques cited Bauer more frequently than the Constitution.

According to British lawyer and writer Philippe Sands, Jack Bauer—played by Kiefer Sutherland—was an inspiration at early "brainstorming meetings" of military officials at Guantanamo in September of 2002. Diane Beaver, the staff judge advocate general who gave legal approval to 18 controversial new interrogation techniques including water-boarding, sexual humiliation, and terrorizing prisoners with dogs, told Sands that Bauer "gave people lots of ideas." Michael Chertoff, the homeland-security chief, once gushed in a panel discussion on 24 organized by the Heritage Foundation that the show "reflects real life."

My favorite part was the human's unwitting ally, the guy that played Freddy Kruger. He was cool, a peace loving reptile.
