Kind of a relief.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Well, with this news, Lost ending, Law and Order cancelled and Flashforward cancelled my tv viewing will be a bit less crowded next year...

Art Crawl!!!
They had two different stories on NPR about the cancellation of Law & Order. . .

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
It's too bad they didn't get a chance to wrap things up, but I'm suprisingly undisappointed by the actual cancellation, which pretty much says it all about how the show was doing in the end.

I don't really remember what they have to wrap up.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Here's the thing. I actually think Claire outing everybody was a pretty good note to end on. The status quo changes, the future's a blank slate, Claire takes initiative on something, Sylar's at a steady good-guy point and Nathan's still dead. Not perfect, but at the very least, our main characters are settled.
Given only 13 episodes, where would they go from here? Given the show's track record, I'd say they'd have giant, hero-hunting robots herding the heroes into concentration camps, or possibly some other X-Men ripoff, and while the characters meandered around avoiding each other and emo-ifying their hair.
Nah. Killing it now was a mercy. So much potential, but it never seemed to know what it wanted to be, and they seemed adverse to -- to borrow a concept from Charlie Anders -- just letting it be pulp.

Now that you've jogged my memory, I agree, the ending we got is not bad as an ending.
BTW, there's discussion in Lightbulbs about closing this thread now that the show is cancelled. In case anyone in this thread wasn't aware.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I feel bad about NOT feeling bad about this show being put out of its our misery. Weird. I have a suspicion this confusion has something to with being Catholic....

Since my tagline is still a quote from this show, I felt the need to post one last time. I hardly watched at all this last season. Not nearly enough Nekkid Peter to make up for the stupid. But once upon an S1, this show kicked tremendous amounts of ass. Sad that it never recovered from Los Gemelos Aburridos, badly done time travel, and Sylar lust.
