And so it ends.

Oddly, I am... okay. I think I ran the gamut of my emotions last night. By this morning, I'd prepared myself for the worst case scenario, and now that it's come, I just feel kinda... calm. Resigned, and wistful. As I told Josh and company on Twitter, this show has been so much more than I expected. When I first heard it was in development - a ( Read more... )

The blow is softened somewhat in that it's not completely unexpected - and yes, we had an absolutely amazing finale. The now-forever-unrealized storytelling potential breaks my heart, but at least it was executed in a way where you can fill in the blanks yourself if you wish.

Like any show TSCC had its missteps, but I always felt that the creators were giving their all in maintaining the spirit and themes of the first two movies. When I see Salvation, I'm not just going to be holding it up against T1 and T2, but this series as well.

That's the thing that makes me love it so much. There was just so much heart and mythos-respect behind T:SCC. Made it easy for me to forgive any shortcomings. In the end, I'm glad we got two seasons of gutsy storytelling rather than five or six seasons of something safer and, perhaps, more accessible. There's plenty of other sci-fi shows serving that need (i.e. Heroes).

Yep. It actually occurred to me the other day that this is the first time a show I love has been cancelled while I've been following it. I usually get into cancelled shows long after they're off the air (even X-Files I didn't catch onto until a year after the series finale aired!). So it's hitting me pretty hard.

Just be glad you got 2 seasons, maybe? I mean, look what happened to Miracles. And Firefly. Not even whole seasons were aired of those.

Yeah, I know. I am grateful. Firstly, that it didn't suck (as I so long feared it might, HA), and secondly, that it lasted as long as it did. I look back and am amaaaaazed. It went above and beyond my expectations.

But when you love something this hard you never want it to die. Gah.
