Riverdale is a CBS production while these are WB.
Damn it
One thing they definitely got right with Buffy all those decades ago was to wrap up each season in the final episode in most cases and when they sort of didn’t, it’s because they knew they had a guaranteed renewal for another season.
And then consider the whole thing happened because they sorely underestimated how pissed fans would be at Arrow blithely killing off one of the extremely few bisexual characters on all TV at the time (remember that this was even before Clarke and Lexa hooked up).
It’s weird because the penultimate episode felt like the show knew it was ending. Like a part of me is okay with this news because the last season was so strong and the show had the foresight to have everyone give good-byes. And then that final episode set up a couple cliffhangers that make me go, “Dammit!! What…
The van belongs to the floor washing company. It never leaves because the floor is constantly being washed.
File me in the ‘not surprised, but disappointed’ camp, but also an accepting one. Legends has for a long time felt like it was on borrowed time and just embracing the freedom of no longer caring; it doesn’t need to make ratings grabs or anything, it just gets whatever space it can find to have the most fun it can on…
Whose car is that on the right? Who drove to the Warehouse of Justice?
It’s a double-edged sword, sadly: especially in the streaming world, it seems like it’s almost obligatory to throw in a season end cliffhanger (even when it feels completely forced) to build anticipation for the next season. Some networks and streaming services apparently encourage it so strongly that it may as well…
I remember being surprised Castlevania of all things ended all unicorns and rainbows. I forgot we were still allowed to do that as if maybe the folks who made it all the way to the end of a season would simply... naturally want to come back when it starts up again since they like the characters and the show or…
My all-time dream time Legends of Tomorrow lineup:
I am going to try to be grateful for what a precious, unlikely gift seven seasons of this show was rather than dwelling on how unjust its cancellation without even an announced final season was.
This is a shame but not a surprise. I feel like this show hit its creative peak around the time the unicorn bit off Gary’s nipple, and that the whole Arrowverse never recovered from the production strain of making Crisis, followed by the pandemic.
It was nice to have a show that was simply FUN and light. In an era where traditional scripted TV, and esp. superhero shows, are trying to hang on by going darker and grimmer, LoT S2 onward was just a refreshing tonic of a good time.
Has there ever been a television miracle as awe-inspiring as the transformation of LoT from what it was in the pilot into a series that could give us “Beebo, the God of War” and “Romeo v. Juliet: Dawn of Justness?” I say no. At its best, LoT might have been my favorite non-HBO series ever. Not gonna lie; I don’t think…
If you would’ve told me at the midway point of season one that this show would’ve gotten seven seasons and got zanier and zanier as the seasons progressed, I’d have laughed you out of the arena.
Shame they couldn’t have gotten one last shortened season to wrap everything up. Especially after last season’s finale.
