UBERSOLDAT: Your ignorance is not effective here. Take these comments elsewhere. A good place to vent would be at an anti-Firefly site, with those thousands of anti-Firefly fans you speak of. A bad place to vent is a pro-Firefly site which has aquired over 23,000 hits from people who are interested in the series. All you succeed in doing is looking ignorant.
You are contributing to an environment of negativity which we do not want on this forum.

Please take this post into consideration when making another post.

Thank you,

I've never even heard of Dark Angel and I had cable in 2001. Weird.

You must have never read a post by chrisisall.

Dark Angel was the TV Show from James Cameron, starting in 2000.
Starring Jessica Alba, her husband-for-the-time Michael Weatherly, and included Grace Park and Jensen Eckles. It has the Friday death slot that Firefly took over on Fox.

There was a bit of backlash against Firefly by Dark Angel fans since they perceived they got cancelled for Firefly.

These days I have a tendency to not watch much until season three starts. A life lesson I got from FF

Somebody recommended The Expanse the other day and since we may actually have to get Amazon Prime I thought I'd check it out....anyone here seen it?

The Expanse is better than average. Kind of lost interest in it when they killed off my favorite character though. It's probably worth a watch, but I liked Dark Matter a lot more.

I’m at the point where I won’t even watch a show until it’s over and done with so I’ll if it’ll have an unresolved cliffhanger.

Yup... I thought Dark Matter was going to be safe since it has a really low budget compared to some of it's other shows and it was renewed for the 3rd season, but it still got the axe. From what I hear it left on a cliffhanger like season 2 did. I'll never know for sure because I'm not watching any of the 3rd season.

This is one of the main reasons I'm pretty much giving up TV as well movies. They care about nothing but ratings and will ditch a great, money making show just to put more money into shows that make more money. At that point, they don't know when to quit and we end up with 12 to 15 seasons or more when their done and then it just seems like a chore to slog through them.

Breaking Bad did it all just about perfect. Everybody else should take note of that and try to emulate that platform and length and number of episodes.

There is also a lot to say about a well told and acted single season show. I vaguely recall one I saw in the mid 2000's called Harper's Island that I really enjoyed at the time. Around that time Heroes was out and was originally only going to be one season, but it made too much money and they had to ruin it with three more seasons, the worst of which was right in the middle of the writer's strike. A more recent example, the UK made single season show "You, Me and the Apocalypse" was a really fun ride.

I mean, I already just summed up why there aren't more single season shows, but it's a shame that the format doesn't take off. When done well, they can be really entertaining tales, and when you've got a free weekend in the middle of winter with nothing better to do it's easy to binge watch the entire run in a few days without having to dedicate months of your free time to get through all of those really lousy "filler" episodes that don't need to be there at all.
