minus-squarebillmason@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 day agoUnfortunately, they did a cliffhanger. Now you have to wonder if they can untangle it into one coherent finale episode, and if Paramount will even give them the approval to untangle it in the first place.

minus-squareStillPaisleyCat@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·15 hours agoI’m always concerned that having an unresolved cliffhanger has the opposite impact. It discourages new viewers from trying a show and undermines the case for a movie. A Firefly to Serendipity outcome is vanishingly rare. And unlike Farscape, the production company partner can’t get the IP back and make a limited series or streaming movie to resolve it.
