For last season's finale, "The Expanse"
>The Bottom Line? Is this about our Ratings again? Because you know, they're pretty low. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Too little?
We'll see next year.
Too late?
YES.
Like Deep Space 9, I shouldn't have to watch a show for years and years and years just for it to get a "plot".
There's those people who would say things like "Give it a chance", or "Give it time to work out their problems", or "It's going to get better." Bullsh*t. One/third of all science-fiction programs ever made are cancelled at 14 episodes or less. Fifty percent of all science-fiction programs are cancelled at 22 episodes or less. Enterprise now has 52. They're well beyond the point of "giving it a little time".
It's dead. The show is dead. It doesn't matter what good episodes MIGHT be produced some day. It doesn't matter if suddenly B&B get their sh*t together and start doing things right (do you actually believe that would happen?). It's well beyond the allowed time period a show should have to get good. It's over. It's all wasted time. Fifty-two episodes produced and only one besides the pilot movie had ANY events of signifigance. It's over.
The only thing we can do is watch from a distance as Paramount loses money, a Network goes belly-up, a franchise dies and two Producers get fired. THAT's the entertainment we'll be getting out of this. Not Enterprise - But the people behind it and how they go down. That's what will be remembered.
