minus-squareStillPaisleyCat@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 days 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.
