Does that mean we're not even going to get a nice ending for season 2?

Hopefully they had enough of a sense it was coming to wrap things up.

    Unfortunately, they did a cliffhanger.

    Now you have to wonder if they can untangle it into one coherent finale episode, and if Paramount will even give them the approval to untangle it in the first place.

    I'd rather have a cliffhanger and a glimmer of hope it could be resolved in a future movie.

    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!
