Hate is a strong word. But in this situation it is totally necessary. This is meant for humor, but this is serious, these things get on my nerves. More than me hating them, they make me go wtf. Also, I don't believe in hating people... but I do believe in being irked by some of the stupid things they do.

Indefinite Cliff-Hangers (Due to Cancellation)

Ok now. You're watching a show that you a fairly loyal to. Let's just nickname this show "Heroes." So it is the season finale of this show and one of the main characters grabs a bunch of reporters and photographers then jumps off of a carnival structure plummeting to her death, but wait, she has regenerating powers. The whole reporting crew catches a glimpse of it and then... CREDITS!

Then two weeks later you hear a fun little bit of information like "Heroes will not be renewed for a new season. Fuck you, fans." People are pissed, BUT WAIT! There is a chance of a movie to tie up the series. This could work. Or this could at least mildly satisfy. It  kind of worked for Firefly why couldn't it kind of work for "Heroes"? But no, the movie deal got cancelled as well. Bitch tits.

So now we will never know what happens to regenerating protagonist, brain-eating antagonist, and the Asian guy who can travel through time. Did the reporters call it a trick? Did they kidnap her and hand her over to scientists? Did they all try to do it themselves? Did they have an ice cream social? What if they were vegans? Did they have a vegan ice cream social? WE WILL NEVER KNOW!?

This pisses me off. Wrap up your story bitches. Also, if you're going to cancel a show, tell them it's cancelled and give them a few episodes to wrap it up. Ugly Betty (may you be loved forever) changed the ending of their fourth season when they heard of the early cancellation. Sure, it wasn't the best of best endings, but it was full of closure.

I just started watching Pushing Daisies (I know, I'm running a little late) and it's great! But, I know that the show got prematurely cancelled and thus I am hesitant to watch through the second season. These shows deserve to be finished. They are full of rich story and great characters (except for regenerating protagonist who suddenly becomes a lesbian out of no where; does this happen in real life?). But no, instead we get to watch through seasons of Wipeout, The Biggest Loser, and Jersey Shore. Go jump into a wall and into a lake on your own time, stop watching other people lose weight and go lose some yourself, and dammit, stop watching nasty-ass losers get drunk and act like they're cool (although watching Snooki get punched in the face is always a great thing to watch).

So yeah...

Much love.

    Other terrible thing that happens: series ends on cliffhanger, due to fan clamor cliffhanger is resolved in tv mini series, but mini series is SO TERRIBLE BAD CARRIE ANGRY !)&!)^~)^%(!.

    (Farscape.)


    Or, network DOES give series a heads-up that it's going to be canceled, but it's way too epic and awesome a show to be canceled so quickly (and its ratings only suffered to begin with because the network foolishly tampered with the creator's master vision) so the series is forced to sprint through at least a season's worth of plot points in a handful of episodes. Fail fail fail.

    (Joss Whedon's Dollhouse.)


    OR the show gets canned on a cliffhanger, picked up by another network, and then that other network butchers it so far beyond recognition you wish you NEVER FOUND OUT WHAT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT WORMHOLE.

    (Sliders.)


    Or you NEVER FOUND OUT IF THEY GOT BACK TO STARCADEMY. OR WHAT THE EYE OF THE FUTURE IS.

    (Space Cases.)


    Or, seasons after the show has jumped the shark and yet is still on the air, the creator decides to kill off the most-hated character and turn the rest of the season into a murder mystery about who killed her and then NEVER REVEAL WHO IT WAS.

    (The L Word.)



    So much nerd rage.
