Was anyone else completely disappointed with...

the series finale of Tru Calling???

i LOVE the show!!! Eliza's amazing in it and it has a pretty good cast. it is rediculous that its story wasn't continued. they could've had more stellar plot lines and done more with the characters.

up until the finale, season 2 was my favorite of the two seasons. However:

1. I NEVER LIKED JACK (Jason Priestly) i think he was a good plotline, and it thought he was kinda cool until he let the girl with leukemia fall off of the building.

2. Tru's dad is a complete tool. Almost killing his own son to keep his secret? made me hate even more...

3. They should've extended the fact that in episode 5, Jensen remembered that Tru checked his wrist.

4. Davis' real name was never revealed.

5. That Tru's sister, Meredith never came back from rehab.

6. Davis never learned that his bitch of a psychiatrist is a double agent.

7. Tru never learned that Jack and her father were working together.

8. It was never fully revealed what happened to Lindsay after she was married, even though it was implied she went to live with her husband in... i wanna say England?

9. They kept referring to Tru's powers as a 'calling'. I understand the name of the show is "Tru Calling" (hah... play on words), but it always seemed corney to me.

10. I can honestly say it was one of the worst finales of one of the best shows i watch. which, if you followed that, is really saying something.

Also, did FOX cancel Tru Calling before or after they shot "Twas the Night Before Christmas... Again (Series Finale)? cuz if it was before, they ended the series ridiculously. But if it was after, they ended it the best they could...

well, thank you for letting me rant about one of the best Short-lived shows i've seen. Honestly, for me, it's up there with Firefly!

oh, well then, i'll go with the terrible ending scenario.

[monkeypie]

i loved tru calling, it was one of the few buffyverse related shows i actually managed to watch while it was still on. I dont remember the ending all that well as i havent watched it in so long. but yeah, i think they were expecting to continue it or at least leave the possibility open.
I remember it being a bit disappointing anyway. Time to break out the DVD's i think.

[Whedon Fan]

Yeah but FOX screwd them. It was picked up for a full 22 episodes in the second season so they planned everything out then it was shortened to 12 episodes and then six episodes and then they just canceled it. Browse about the internet it does tell you what was going to happen.

Jack choosing to save someone
Tru letting someone die
Tru and Jacks dad dying and askign for help
The repercussions of Jack and Tru if they ignore a rewind day

I can't remember it all but it was going to be fantastic. I loved the show!

aww I miss tru calling.

i remember being totally blown away by the season 1 finale, and for all these plot threads to be dangling ready for season 2 only for season 2 not to even get half way through...argghh.

Iv always felt that Ghost Whisperer was just sort of like a reworking of Tru Calling as well, but with a less attractive lead actress (eliza would POUND jen into the ground) and that frigging show got three seasons. (is it still on the air?)
That has always pissed me off.

[snizapman6294]

i was completely blown away by the ending montage of season 1 with Full Blown Rose's cover of "In the Air Tonight" and the fade to white was amazing...

[snizapman6294]

i have Somebody help me and In the Air Tonight. both by FBR.

[buffyverseforever]

Fox didn't handle Tru Calling very well at all.
Hopefully, Dollhouse'll have better luck....



Best wishes,

Scott

I was more disappointed that Fox not only canceled Tru Calling, but stuck a knife in the show's back first and then killed it.

They renewed the show, then they cut down the number of approved episodes, and then they started moving the show around & pushing back airdates. Season 2 was suppose to start up in the fall but didn't air until March. The Halloween show didn't air until April and the Christmas eppy didn't air at all. To me it seemed liked Fox went out of their way to make sure the show failed.

So to answer you're question, yes I was disappointed with the last episode but only because the writers never got to properly end the series.

The last ep was when she was walking of to full blown rose and her father and jack(?) talked about how she was dangerous, wasn't it?

It wa s wonderful, girl power ending scene, but I had the same frustrating and longing feeling then as I did when Not Fade Away ended

"What the BEEP!?! It can't end here!"

And I'm pretty sure that was BEFORE I found out that there wouldn't be another season. That it was a cliffhanger was bad enough for me, but I had no idea.

The show had been kinda boring until then, same thing every episode, not MUST-SEE-TV, more like NICE-TO-SEE-TV, and I though "Wow, not it could really be interesting, we needed a war, no more villians sneaking around, I wanted to see True kick ass, but nope.

I can appreciate the openness of the scene more now, kinda like I do with Not Fade Away, but I wouldn't hate if someone decided to make a continuation in comic form....

[snizapman6294]

you're talking about the season 1 finale... i'm talking about the season 2 finale...

[Skytteflickan88]

I thought that was season 2. Damn. I guess I don't have to be pissed of anymore.
