Dark Matter’s going to be my new Almost Human. I haven’t seen Season 3 because I live in the UK, and I didn’t want to spoil myself, but some careful peeking has confirmed it ends on a cliffhanger with lots of unanswered questions. I don’t think that should be allowed!
Honestly it’s like reading a book and discovering the last chapter is missing.
I get they don’t think it’s financially viable to make anymore but I just want the questions answered. I suppose it’s possible Mallozzi will put up a blog post but I’m still holding a grudge because of Stargate Universe. I’ll never forget his answer when people said “but what happened???” and his answer was “your guess is as good as mine” because they’d written the cliffhanger without deciding how it would resolve. He did suggest half a dozen theories but that’s not the same as answers. I know that means we can decide what happened but ugh it’s just not same you know?
I tried to be careful with Dark Matter as well. I remembered Almost Human and I wouldn’t let myself watch season one until it had been renewed for season two. I figured it would be fine after that but actually it’s not. It seems it’s just as irritating even a couple of seasons in, and now I’m frothing up remembering other cliffhanger endings. Oh how I ranted about Agent Carter.
Would it kill the studios to think a little further in advance so things could be wrapped up and questions answered? Probably because I mean they have to write and film things a long time before they air, and it’s only after they air that the studios get ratings information and then decide the shows fate. So logic tells me that it’s not the studios fault but ugh, I’m still bitter.
