So if we put together our own list, of all the Much Better Shows that we, the True Believers, have seen -- what shall we put on it?
Mine has to begin with the end of the second season of Blake's 7. It may have been the first SF series ever to have a season-ending cliffhanger -- the galaxy is being invaded by very hostile aliens, help is hours away (and the help is coming from the Bad Guys), one hero's badly wounded and the others, in a single ship, are committed to a face-off against the entire alien fleet. The final lines went about like this:
Vila: "This is insane!" Avon: "When has that ever stopped us?" Jenna: "They're in range." Avon: "Fire!!" (cue credits) There wasn't even a "To be continued".
So which season ending would you nominate from Stargate?
