What was cancelled or discontinued that you wish wasn't or that they brought it back?

Honestly, the sd card is arguably more important. I mean, headphones, there are workarounds like adaptors or wireless. But being able to stick a 1tb sd card in is just sooo good, basically a portable PC. There is no workarounds for sd card slot.

Yeah I have to use an adapter now

Just servicability in consumer goods in general.

Why? The quality was always shit. I’d rather keep the data port (Lightning/USB-C) and use an external DAC. For calls and meetings where audio quality is trash anyway, Bluetooth doesn’t necessarily degrade it enough to care.

Also Pushing Daisies, Better Off Ted, Jericho, My So Called Life, Dead Like Me, Freaks and Geeks...

Every time somebody mentions Firefly I automatically think of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

Bruce Campbell in a steampunk cowboy romp across the old west?

That show ended way too soon.

Dark Matter (the SyFy show), it was just getting good!

I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the original series from me.

The title has two questions and this one only fits one of them.

Wish wasn't cancelled, yes!

Wish they brought it back? No, it was a long time ago, and they made Serenity to close off the story and tie things up. It's likely that bringing it back would do more harm than good.

Man, that show was so likable, but I could never get over the pro-Confederate vibes, even with all the staff denials.

Call me crazy, but if I was going to bring back a series doomed by its association with Joss Whedon I'd give The Nevers another shot. I thought it was fun and then the Whedon thing happened and Covid happened and people seem to just have agreed it wasn't worth it and gone home.

There's talk of a reboot, and that's not what anyone wanted at all....

As long as we're on cancelled sci-fi shows, Babylon 5 spinoffs. The entire setting is more or less dead and it hurts.

(Yes, I know about The Road Home. It's not the same.)

The show runners for The Expanse claimed that they ended the show where they did because the show had reached a natural conclusion, the books took a giant time leap, and they felt the rest of the story would be better developed into a sequel series at a later time.

I so want more travelers.

Actually yeah. A reboot of travelers would be amazing. Because you could go in any direction….

Redo to series as is. Redo it where since so many things went wrong, we’re gonna reset the timeline.

Hell yeah 👍

I loved the expanse, maybe more than books. But even the books just got drawn out and I lost interest. With how closely the show followed the books I'm worried the show would just fall off for me like the books.

Democracy 1-4

I agree but at the same time I'm happy it got an actual ending instead of being drug out because of its popularity.

Oh yeah I could not get enough of that show

VR trolley problem video game based on the good place.

People will inevitably come in here saying "whatabout the Maverick and Colorado?" but those trucks are all the size of full size HDs from 30 years ago.

Edit: don't even get me started on the Tacoma bloat, the "only mid-size truck on that market" which is the same size as a Humvee.

I was gonna say Patrick Rothfuss' King Killer Chronicles series. We're never getting Doors of Stone. I loved his writing, but dammit, I've just given up on it at this point.

And Matel still hasn't released hoverboards

Upset about both of those too.

The WMR thing is bugging me so much. Like release whatever is needed to open the hardware if you're done with it, jerks!

I have a Samsung Odyssey+ that's a fantastic unit that of course I can't run when I mainline Linux these days. Monado is making impressive gains but the fact that they basically need to hack and reverse engineer the thing out of being e-waste is just messed up.

I really like VR and want to make things for it. But I can't swing a Steam set and there's no way I'm giving a single rotten cent to Facebook if I can help it!

Like others said there's still ways to keep it working but it feels iffy enough that it could just break at any moment =\

Don't migrate off of Windows 10. Switch to the LTSC Enterprise edition, which will continue to get security updates.

You will have to manually install the WMR package on it, though.

Then migrate to Linux and see if there are devs working on open source drivers

I used to think like you, then I saw some sit down with joss whedon and the rest of the cast where he talked about where the series would have gone if it hadn't been axed by Fox after the first season, and man it was a WEIRD talk. Joss started going on about the eventually fate of Inara and not only was it super harsh, but Joss kept giving Inara's actor the creepiest looks and I sware on me mum the whole table got skeeved out.

Honestly made me appreciate Serenity that much more as the cap to the series

I was wondering if Firefly being the immediate de facto response to this had lived its life. It appears not.

To add: Buying products and them actually lasting more than a year. Doesn't seem to matter if you buy 'brand' or not. It's always a gamble.

I still think about the episode where John walked into his stock trader and randomly bought rights to some kind of seafood (shrimp, I think), explains why, then sells it -- at a huge profit. It was this little moment that explained why John could just "do stuff" and didn't need a job.

Also, it made my hate working forever, but I don't know enough to not have to. Yet.

Hear him, hear him! A glass of wine with you, sir. Killick! Killick there, light along with the Madeira damn your eyes!

Archive 81 was great. I’m surprised it wasn’t picked up by another channel.

Fuuuuuckk i had forgotten about Scavengers Reign :(

Awww, thanks for telling me, but... FUCK. I didn't know any of that. I need a drink.

Noooooooo, why??? I didn't know they cancelled it. That's horrible.

I had no idea that was actually a real thing

bk had it in their freestyle fountains, but the ones around here went back to normal ones and they don't have it.

I tried one can.

Man, they won't even remaster Tib Sun and RA2. You know fans would go absolutely bonkers for those, even moreso than original C&C/RA.

I'm particularly bitter about the unreleased FPS shooter. Seeing the Scrin as actually in-person terrifying monsters, plus a more empathetic Brotherhood of Nod, could have made for some great stories.

I recommend you check out Tempest Rising.

Command and Conquer 4 was not as bad as people say and now here we are.

The remastered collection was so good, though. I wonder if people just didn't buy it, because you'd think they'd have given that team permission to just make a new one, but it hasn't happened.

Never heard of Pepsi Blue but I remember Crystal Pepsi

'I am not okay with this'

God, yes! I don't actually know what any of the numbers are, but I'm convinced that if this hadn't come out during the pandemic we would have absolutely gotten more.

Pitch Black was my jam!

I prefer the original over Pitch Black II. But both are great. PBII tastes more like Baja Blast. The original was a lot more sour.

Heroes had a lot of potential. They should reboot it and take inspiration from JoJo's Bizarre adventure

The Old Reader is pretty close.

This is SO tragic. I remember being so fond of both those games, they were so great! All the ways different equipment actually affected gameplay, and the really unique sound effects and world building will always stick in my head.

The Flutter was like my dream fantasy vehicle as a kid, those dogs in the bad part of town freaked me out, the reaverbot designs were so cool, and I kicked cans around way more than I should've.

And the little Tron-bots taught us the folly of making judgements based on profiling. XD

Kid me didn't understand the ultimate plots though, and the final bosses were punishing... Perhaps it's time for a revisit.

I didn't know Legends 3 was so close to actually being a thing!

Wah. SGU is a hot take. What did you like about it?

They should make Stargate Ancients

I feel like RBW was just starting to get good, and then they cancel it.

I upvoted the first half of your comment

I've been on an emulator kick recently and hoo boy, F-Zero X is probably my favorite title on the N64. I adore my mean high speed bumper cars

Awesome first season, terrible second one. They turned an awesome cyberpunk show into some bland, generic, chaste sci-fi.

The main actor for the second season looked like a kid trying to look tough but only making you laugh your ass off at him. Papa Doc isn't Takeshi Kovacs.

I think they changed directors between seasons? That would explain the mess.

Riding on the coattails of cyberpunk shows they shouldn’t have canceled - The Peripheral.

It was just getting into some really great storyline and characters…poof…canceled.

The startup sound on my computer in the 90's was "Warning: Incoming Game."

ReBoot got... restarted with a boilerplate power rangers/tron script at one point. It's terrible and no one remembers it. There's also a terrible comic book squeal to the original that no one remembers either.

ReBoot somehow managed to get cancelled three times and revived twice. That third cancellation and its cliffhanger, though...
