I remember because the cancellation followed abruptly on the premature announcement of a 6th season pickup. At least with that much warning, Eureka got the chance to tie up some plotlines and plan a fitting final episode.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I was under the impression that the cancellation decision happened when they were shooting the season finale cliffhanger, and thus they had no chance to correct in mid-stream without the extra series finale episode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cancellation was announced a month before filming of S5 was scheduled to end. However, they knew before that, so that's a bunch of hooey for them to use as an excuse.

I do have to say, of all the related things I've seen on tumblr, [link] is the one that made me want to pull back the most, and it's the official tumblr. It's just cheesy im comparison to most of the fanstuff that comes across my dash.

I suppose it's good that the 13-year-old girl they hired to maintain the account is getting such an early start on her web developer career...

Heh. It IS very 13ish, isn't it? I wonder if I should send my niece a link.

Many of the people on my dash that are falling in love with it seem to be mid 30s, so that tumblr is an absolute horror. Even the "kid" stuff that's coming across my dash is more sophisticated than that.
Yikes.

So looking forward to ALPHAS. I want to know what's going on with Gary (and to a lesser extent. Bill, and of course Strathairn's character (who's name escapes me)).
