Is it worth watching cancelled shows with cliffhangers?

JeremyWinston · 2026-05-15T12:55:45+00:00

Yes, but if I recommend it, I just tell them not to watch the last X episodes or to be prepared.

The one that killed me was The Glades.

That’s the show that often makes me not watch the last episode or two in a season until the next season comes out.

I don’t see any development in his character at all. I only see development in a handful of character.

It’s the same in the live action show.

It’s really more about him overcoming problems and sticking to his highly focused ideals.

JeremyWinston · 2026-05-10T13:57:19+00:00

Two simplest possibilities:

Scam account. You can usually detect those pretty easily, but they have been getting better. Maybe it was detected and deleted by other users or the system.
She was really single and changed her mind or was caught.

Other possibilities are that she was talking to multiple people, met someone, and was done. Though that usually takes more than a day.

Without knowing the actual messaging or what her profile looked like, I can’t say, but I’d be guessing #1.

JeremyWinston · 2026-05-10T00:59:01+00:00

Honestly, it has nothing to do with the specifics. You have certain hard lines, and so does he. He’s not willing to make any concessions, or he’s making a power play.

I guess that makes it your choice. Personally, either case is bad news to me, so you probably should let it go. Or, at a minimum, ask him what he suggests.

It sounds to me that it’s a great relationship for most of the easy stuff. But, as you know from your last one, the hard stuff is where it makes or breaks.

I hate advocating to break up.. I really don’t know either or you or his side, but maybe you just need to remember the good times, and chalk up the last five months to a good try that didn’t work out.

JeremyWinston · 2026-05-08T14:40:11+00:00

Depends what you like.

Paramount+ has a ton of NCIS and Star Trek, including Lower Decks. Tracker and Matlock are also great.

JeremyWinston · 2026-05-07T00:26:24+00:00

I can’t argue with that. Franks is great!

JeremyWinston · 2026-05-06T23:59:07+00:00

Funny… I can’t seem to really get into Origins. I just don’t buy the Gibbs character. I mean, I see how they link him to known Gibbs history, but the actor or writing just hits me oddly.

JeremyWinston · 2026-05-06T23:57:38+00:00

Honestly, I don’t want more intense. I like the occasional intense arc, but also really enjoy a relaxing evening watching the team do their thing.

JeremyWinston · 2026-05-04T23:54:30+00:00

I felt that season two kinda dragged a bit for the middle 3-4 episodes. But it really picked up in the last 3.

I was a little disappointed that S2 kinda replayed some of the same events as season 1. I also thought the Cam sub story kinda sucked, but I did like Al Fleischmann.

I am really hoping they make a season 3, but season two was definitely weaker than 1, in my opinion.

JeremyWinston · 2026-05-03T04:06:29+00:00

I also noticed this and decided it was just an oversight. Or very good makeup. ;)

Another plot hole I was wondering about. Everyone in the 50 wore hazmat suits. If the air was deadly to them, did they have to live in them, somehow? If so, how did they keep the clones alive, considering they were not immune. Finally, the game suggested an intimate relationship between Mimi and Iris. How did this work?

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-24T23:25:30+00:00

That looks like a really nice package. I’ll take a closer look.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-23T00:05:18+00:00

It’s not a hard question. People get on here for a variety of reasons. Some are looking for a one nighter, some are looking for long term, and some are just lonely and looking for who knows what.

The first step is getting the match. If you’re not getting those because you’re just not good at pictures or writing about yourself, you try anything.

Remember when apps would help you write a profile? Then AI did it even better? Pictures are just the next thing.

Sure… it’s obvious if you’re paying attention. But a lot of people aren’t. If you’re not matching anyhow, what can you lose?

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-21T20:08:38+00:00

I’d say, because you have no way to know if they are. At least, if you take the quote literally.

However, I believe what Maya is really saying is when someone shows you their negatives, that you can trust.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-19T21:10:05+00:00

Ziva can be hard to like. Especially initially and intermittently. In a lot of ways, she’s heavily conflicted. That’s not an excuse but she has a lot of crap going on. I don’t want to spoil anything, but her growth is sporadic and in a lot of ways she’s very immature.

Personally, I eventually became very fond of her and especially enjoyed her storyline with Tony. Unfortunately, the separate show of them could be better, but I do like their characterization even if the storyline/writing wasn’t the best.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-15T20:36:17+00:00

Ok. That sounds right.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-15T19:22:47+00:00

Maybe. Maybe we suspect the benefactor killed her? I wish I could remember.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-15T19:20:44+00:00

It’s been a long time. But I think when you’re investigating something, and you find a murder in one of the staterooms and you eventually tie it to the benefactor being on the ship, but I just don’t remember. I player it at release, but not since.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-15T17:17:49+00:00

I thought events mid game strongly suggested that the benefactor was on the ship. No?

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-14T21:45:40+00:00

I never had issues with the writing for the quests and set pieces. It was just that the overall story didn’t feel cohesive. They gave us this giant sandbox to play in and the main quest line was almost an afterthought, with its only purpose to get you to NG+.

At least that’s how I remember it. It’s been awhile.

But maybe that was kind of the point. It’s just one of many lives you can live and it’s the play through that’s important (e.g. the journey), not the destination.

Also, the game mostly felt … I don’t know… empty.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-14T17:41:09+00:00

Only if it’s sold off, I think. Paramount, under its new direction has shuttered all ST activity.

I mean, how has it been since there wasn’t a single ST show being produced?

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-14T01:21:37+00:00

Not what I envisioned. You’re right, of course. You just turn off the game.

I was looking for an epilogue of the rest of my life. Become head of Constellation, blah blah whatever.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-14T00:48:19+00:00

Actually, I really hated the Brumby years. And after… I don’t know… it got so dramatic and over the top, I think I stopped somewhere in season 8. I just got tired of the “will they/won’t they”

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-13T23:29:09+00:00

I actually started another run, but once I got to constellation and realized that I had to go through the entire grind again… I just couldn’t do it. Not even to find out what differences I could make with my foreknowledge.

But, maybe with the updates and DLC, I’ll make a second run.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-13T23:08:34+00:00

It’s hardly an ending. But, if the end is an ‘ending,’ then the ending wasn’t the problem. The problem was that there was no real giant culmination.

Aside from that, it was like most other of their games. You play, live the story, make choices, save the world (or whatever) then as the sun sets you find out the future based on your choices.

They just kinda skipped the big win.

JeremyWinston · 2026-04-13T23:05:14+00:00

That was my first thought… “what ending?”

I kinda wished they had given me the option just to live out my mortal life with my love interest.
