Does Gary have a hot nipple?
I wonder if Kirk always shoots people in their tits?

^Please stay on topic for the thread.
Technically, he's discussing a show that was on your own original "brilliant but cancelled" list. Doesn't that mean he is, in fact, on topic?
No, he's not. He's making comments about someone's avatar.
Well, who knows? And is there a distinction? Certainly Chris Boucher has said that he wrote the ending so that he could pick it up again for the fifth season.
My "Brilliant But Cancelled" picks:
* Firefly
* Caprica
* Dirty Sexy Money
* Wolf Lake
* Reunion
* Vanished
* Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
* Dollhouse
* NBC's Las Vegas
* Moonlight
* CBS' Vegas
* Star Trek Enterprise
* ABC's V
* Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
* The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
* The Secret World of Alex Mack
* ANGEL
* Revolution
* Firefly
* Caprica
* Dirty Sexy Money
* Wolf Lake
* Reunion
* Vanished
* Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
* Dollhouse
* NBC's Las Vegas
* Moonlight
* CBS' Vegas
* Star Trek Enterprise
* ABC's V
* Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
* The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
* The Secret World of Alex Mack
* ANGEL
* Revolution
That's a risk I'd have been willing to take.

Space: Above and Beyond
Now and Again

...all deserved more than they got.
I completely forgot about this one and it just came to me:
Caprica.
Sure, it was...less than great in the first half of its season, but after that in the second half? Holy crap, that show clicked for me. And it's last 3 or 4 episodes were stunning with a brilliant epilogue that promised a fantastic season 2 that we never got.
So yeah, I'd add Caprica to my list.

Yes, I liked the first half of the season alright (more so in retrospect), it was good world building but with a pace that could have handeled a lot better... Sadly most people had given up by the time the show really kicked in. And thinking of that epilogue... oh, the things that could have been.
The epilogue was not a promise of things to come, it was a "fuck you" for cancelling us.
I stopped watching after the first half. It seemed to me like the story was scattered all over the place and overly focused on the less interesting but more shock-oriented terrorism aspect of the story. If you're saying it got better I may have to finish it.
I forgot about Wolf Lake. It wasn't a great show, but it was ok.
The show should have been a 13 episode miniseries / limited series / whatever the fuck they want to call it. There was never enough story for seasons and seasons.
There was enough story for 50 seasons in theory.
becuse it was mediocre mess seldom rising about banal writing and acting more wooden than a Thunderbirds episode.

But it was fun.
1. Firefly (obvious choice)
2. Angel (though I'm really not sure how you end a show about an immortal being though they still managed to end BTVS on a fairly decent note. The ending we got wasn't awful, but felt too rushed)
3. The Critic (underrated animated gem w/Jon Lovitz)
4. The Ben Stiller Show (what happened? Ben Stiller, Jeneane Garafalo, Andy Dick There was some great stuff on the show)
5. Napoleon Dynamite (disappointed to see it cancelled so soon, especially since they were amazingly able to bring the entire cast from the film back)
6. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (It had a pretty good run and had become a stellar show starting in Season 3-We got 5 seasons plus we got an extra half season of already finished/nearly finished content plus a comic series and upcoming novel. Wait, I thought that they were FINISHED with the series?!)
