      I’m always concerned that having an unresolved cliffhanger has the opposite impact.

      It discourages new viewers from trying a show and undermines the case for a movie.

      A Firefly to Serendipity outcome is vanishingly rare.

      And unlike Farscape, the production company partner can’t get the IP back and make a limited series or streaming movie to resolve it.

        That’s good point. I enjoyed the Discovery finale well enough but I also can’t deny it definitely felt rushed.

        I can’t say for sure if I’d prefer a rushed conclusion over a well-considered writing that gets cut short!
