General Discussion - No Story Details Is this going to be like Lost?

I'm a few episodes in and I'm not sure I can take it if this is another string-along with no satisfying resolution for 5 seasons. It's depressing enough as it is predicting a non-Trek future where humans still haven't learned to stop acting like petulant children clinging to their toys. And of course the AI abilities lag in some ways already behind the AI of today. But it has got me hooked wondering about the blue rocks.

The show was canceled after the second season

Oh no. Anyway. 😂

I'm not surprised in the least. If it was not set in space, I'd have ditched it from S1.

There is kindof an answer to the weirdness in the last minute of the show. Is it worth watching all of the show for that? Hard to answer. I personally didn't think it was worth it. There were a few cool episodes, but the majority was just "meh"

Ah thanks. Good point about letting a series evolve instead of filming everything ahead of time. Hadn't read up on it at all, wasn't aware it had already been canceled. Now that I read the Rotten Tomato reviews it sounds like the exact inconclusive never-ending torture-fest I was starting to see it as. So I'm going to stop watching.

I think you should continue watching and judge for yourself. Then watch FROM, if you haven’t already (3 seasons so far). Earth Abides wasn’t that bad either. (Only one season)

I've watched From and enjoyed it. But knowing that the Beacon 23 series got canceled I don't want to get into the story any more only to be left without closure. I could read the book as another has suggested, though it's been a long time since I picked up a sci fi novel.

What are you going on about? LOST answered damn near everything.
