Andromeda season finale
(No unprotected spoilers that weren't in the preview.)
What the f--- was that? I think I'm done now. Whoever has creative control over there needs to go do something else for a while, far away from the entertainment industry.
I realized as I started to watch that I didn't know whether the show had been renewed. At the end of the episode, I guessed not.
So I bopped over to their web site to see the presumed announcement about the end of the series, only to see an item about how the main star [1] is looking forward to next season. I think this means either breaking the story badly or changing the story to focus almost entirely on Dylan's character, neither of which is appealing to me.
[1] The show -- as opposed to the troupe of actors -- works best as an ensemble; I actually think Dylan is one of the less-interesting characters. I understand that the actor playing Dylan sees it differently, though, and he gained some creative control a while back. Pity about that.
The ending was quite bizarre, in a quasi-mystical deus-ex-machina reset-button kind of way. And what was that, anyway? It was all a dream? He's going back in time to try it all again? He's entering an alternate reality and will now embark on a completely different set of adventures? Bah! If you're going to break the implicit contract with your viewers, you have to do it well. They didn't.

wow, I'm impressed
here's something he dug up about the next season

his comment was "this could be really . . . um . . . interesting (putting the most optimistic outlook on something I don't think is going to be that good)."
That's like massive thumbs down on a visual medium work from my bf :)
