I really like Last resort, why's it being cancelled the cunts

(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Nov 2012, 11:16, Reply)

It happens to me every year, they spend a fortune on a show and I get really into it, then they cancel it.
Last year they canned Alcatraz and Tera Nova, both were really good, and the seasons ended amazingly.

I might give continuum a go though.

Don't waste your time.
They spent loads of money on it and the plots are absolute rubbish.

We have such a warped,snobbish view of America in this country.
You could apply what you have said to any country. It's not an American trait.

From a nation that's prime time TV is either reality bollocks or interminable soaps, we're not in a position to judge most other countries on their televisual output.

Of course I could.
But I'm saying it about America, which is who we're talking about. The majority of whom are rural, of low education, who like shotgunning homosexuals for sport and then having sex with and eating their corpses. Hopefully in that order.

Earth is fucked, people live in bubble-cities, its the polution. So they have a lottery that'll send people back in time by X amount (same each time), the portal only opens twice a year or whatever. Turns out the lotto is partly-controlled by bad-guys, who rig the system to send in bad groups who want to mine the minerial-rich earth for its natural resources. The season ends with an attack by the bad-guys where they take over tera-nova, there is a no-go zone because of can't remember reason, but the good-guys (running from tera-nova) go there and find a medi-evil boat. Sesaon ends.

Nah' man, there was a lot more to it than that, and it was time travel, not space travel.
It had a fantastic dynamic, lots of no-thinking action, light comedy, time travel, conspiracies, and the season ended with the enemy winning.
