Comment on Star Trek has more to offer or it has to end and stop producing more content?
StarryPhoenix97@lemmy.world 2 days agoFor Wheel of Time I can think of only two narrative choices that pissed me off as a book fan. In general I just accepted that it was a new turning of the wheel. Things would play out a little differently. No big deal.
I put it aside for a bit and then it was canceled. That hurt more. Star Trek at least had told it’s stories. It can end gracefully. It deserves that much.
People don’t like endings. I’m one of them.
But, if you force something to continue past it’s time then you start making the property as a whole…less than the some of it’s party.
-
The last two seasons of supernatural were rough for that.
-
Much of the Hulu Futurama is cringe-y
-
Stargate (while admittedly problematic in premise) got bad with the Ori.
Each of those shows had multiple ending seasons that were almost perfect, if they had been allowed to end.

It’s not that I necessarily disagree, I just refuse to give it my energy and don’t understand the folks who make it their whole thing. I can watch older Futurama. Old King of the Hill. Read WoT (the show was fine, I don’t have strong opinions about it except that the timing kind of fucked them with the covid restrictions, it’s unfortunate but I get it). I don’t have to watch the Dresden Files TV show.
You’re out here with well reasoned examples. You’ve said your piece. I bet if I go into your history (I won’t) that you won’t have 50 posts today bitching about it. Those are the folks I’m talking about. Not people who are disappointed and looking to talk. That’s natural and human!
