Unresolved Shows

^^ Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was supposed to have a movie, like GI Joe or Transformers, that would have resolved the series, but evidently, the show was not popular enough.

Amazon.com says differently.:cool: Someone needs to find a way to legally track everyone and not just the Nielson homes.

Why are you including this in a list of unresolved shows? It's still airing every Monday and hasn't been cancelled yet.

Wait.
 
Speaking of The 4400, the Simon and Schuster website says there's a forthcoming (June 2009) paperback called Welcome to Promise City. Some joker named Greg Cox is listed as author?
 
That's right, TrekBBS's own Greg Cox is doing his second The 4400 novel, after debuting the book line with The Vesuvius Prophecy earlier this year. TVP and the second novel, Wet Work by TrekBBS's own Dayton Ward and Kevin Dilmore, are standalones set during the series. Welcome to Promise City is the first of two books continuing the story past the end of the series. The second will be Promises Broken by TrekBBS's own David Mack (sensing a theme here?), which, in Dave's own words, will be an "explosive grand finale" to the series.
 
Two come to mind that ended as their creators intended, but still seemed wildly unresolved to me:

Angel. Who lives? Who dies? What happens? (I believe the story is continued in comic books, but I'm not much of a comic reader and don't really care to start now.)
This is the one that still gets me, a great ending in its way and suits the show, but it would have been nice to know what happened next!

Did Quatum Leap ever resolve itself? I can't honestly remember.

The Angel: After the Fall comic from IDW is the official continuation of the story, plotted by Whedon.

Did Quatum Leap ever resolve itself? I can't honestly remember.

Yes, but in a way many fans found frustrating or open-ended. It was a resolution, but not an expected or conventional one by any means.

Isn't there story it was also some studio intererence to it? (that the title card at the end wasn't originally planned for).
 
This thread is really depressing so I won't go into it but I'm surprised no one here has mentioned "Invader Zim" That was an incredibly funny, dark and satirical series. Given what their plans would have been for the series before it was cancelled, its a real shame.

Btw, TPTB had plans for a few more seasons of Carnivale before it got cancelled, dag nab it.
 
I find it amusing the amount of people who said this versus the amount of people who tend to slam the crap out of the show just in general.

But yeah, Earth 2 got me yelling at the screen at the end. I've got a whole file of ways to resolve that story, should that miracle ever occur.
 
Angel is certainly the definitive unresolved show for me. Although I'm hard pressed to propose an alternative ending for a show whose main character is immortal, I didn't want it to end exactly as it did. I may eventually check out the ongoing graphic novel series (is it any good?) but it just seemed wrong to end it like they did with the surviving characters facing what seemed to be an EPIC and apocalyptic battle.

Was Transformers (G1) cut short? The show ended after the "Rebirth Trilogy" (Season 4?) (which I can barely remember outside of Cybertron somehow being revitalized at the end) but I thought for some reason that there was more of the series that was completed but never aired here in the US (although, frankly, the show really wasn't as good post TF:TM aside from the 3rd Season Finale -ROOP).
 
For me, it's VR.5. I wanted to know if Sydney got out of VR.7, and was able to fight the Committee and their insidious schemes, and find her dad (who was still alive!)
 
New Amsterdam
Dark Skies
Carnivale
Odyssey 5
Twin Peaks
John Doe (hate that resolution mentioned in the link, that sucked, but thanks for providing it. Yes, I'm still bitter about that one too).
 
Dark Skies
and that show intrduced me to Jeri Ryan. :drool:
Wasn't she also in The Sentinel tv series?

Yes, she was. She was the evil Sentinel who tried to--and nearly did--kill Blair. That bitch! :scream:

That must be why I've never liked her in anything. ;)

She was in Dark Skies in 1996 and appeared in The Sentinel in a two-parter that started in 1998.

And, yes, I watch waaaaaaaay too much TV.

That's right, Dark Skies was first

When is Dark Skies coming onto dvd?
 
Was Transformers (G1) cut short? The show ended after the "Rebirth Trilogy" (Season 4?) (which I can barely remember outside of Cybertron somehow being revitalized at the end) but I thought for some reason that there was more of the series that was completed but never aired here in the US (although, frankly, the show really wasn't as good post TF:TM aside from the 3rd Season Finale -ROOP).

G1 ended with "Rebirth" in the U.S. In Japan, they ignored "Rebirth" and continued the series with "Headmasters."

The third season was just as good as the others to me. I didn't have a problem with Rodimus Prime being the leader, like others had. If you think good leaders aren't full of doubt, you're deluding yourself. They just don't show it.
 
Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles

Why are you including this in a list of unresolved shows? It's still airing every Monday and hasn't been cancelled yet.

You know it will be though

Eventually, yes, but given that Fox has committed to a full 22-episode season, there's no reason to assume its demise is imminent -- or that its story arc will be unresolved. Two of the show's producers are members on another BBS I frequent (Ex Isle), and according to them, the network has been very supportive of the show. I know people have this mental image of Fox as a network that loves to cancel genre shows, but that was the policy of network executives who are no longer working there, so that image is out of date. (Also, it's kind of an unfair characterization even of the old execs. What people fail to consider is that the reason Fox has cancelled so many SF/fantasy shows is because for a long time it was the only major network that was consistently buying SF/fantasy shows in the first place.)
