Now that was a fun episode and a great way to incorporate time travel.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Yeah, it was great, although I was really hoping it would be a two-parter because I was enjoying it so much.

I thought this weeks episode was quite funny but not the best episode.

I HATE Cliff Hanger Season Finales!

Especially if the status of the show is to be confirmed.

Enjoyable Season Finale overall.

They obviously splashed out on the budget for the final episode, all those space battles were pretty glorious. More of that in the show would be welcome, if unlikely.

Decent enough season ender, but unlike its genetic cousin Killjoys, there's less consistent tone and charisma in this show. Everyone just keeps circling the same orbits, figuratively speaking, the Portia/Boone twins are a bit tedious by now. Most evil twins in fiction have tbe politeness to at least look different to their counterparts. Solid summer entertainment but just never kicks itself into a high gear...

The Black Oil

Cancelled, according to Variety.

I was looking forward to the next series.
Can boards management get onto them please and tell them how important it is to the forums users?:)

Really dissappointed

Well the old Cliffhanger provokes cancellation issue.

It's a bad timing to end, with that cliffhanger but it is what it is.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Boooooooooooo!!!

An unbelievably bad time to end any show, you'd think if the future wasn't clear the writers would have hedged their bets with something a bit more definitive, but still with enough wriggle room for a season 4.

Can't say I'm super surprised with the decision though. Good summer fare, but nothing memorable. Can't have been doing well in the ratings I guess. ..

On re-considering, actually it's not a cliff hanger but an untold story.

The writers told us the ending sort of in the Episode "Isn't That a Paradox?" in which The Android (my favorite character) travels to the future and meets Five.

Still, giving the bad viewing numbers on SyFy and Space it's no wonder that it's gone.

For me while it had lost some of it's initial charm it still was enjoyable and I'm going to miss it.

I dunno, the ending clearly had a big "To Be Continued" hanging over it, the Black Ships might have been signposted earlier, but the seasons had always ended on a cliffhanger with everyone in peril. Season 2 literally ended with a space station exploding...

The android was a great character, and I liked the surrogate father daughter thing between Six and Five. Three grew on me, and showed a nice arc beyond the violent meathead. Like the other ScyFy shows they really nailed a good chemistry and cast

Maybe if the show didn't insist on throwing every scifi cliché into the mix, it would have built a stronger audience. Or suddenly callback on throwaway moments as 11th hour lynchpin arcs, such as Sarah, or the aliens in particular. Myself and the OH had to Google because we just couldn't recall the black goo aliens at all.

See this is on Amazon. I'm more of a BSG/expanse sci-fi fan than Stargate/trek so would I like it?

It got cancelled and ends on a huge cliffhanger, so bare that in mind that you'll get no capping off of the story.

As a show, it was ok, threw every SciFi cliché imaginable at the wall, so was a bit of a shotgun mess and not remotely "hard SciFi" like Expanse or BSG. Also had zero budget, so even by summer shows so it looked a bit crap. Cast were likeable enough though. It all felt very ... 90s.

Ah ok, might give it a miss so. Cheers for the reply
