I remember this I used to think it was great. Trouble repeated it a few years ago.

She froze time by putting together the tips of her index fingers.

I remember the song though, weirdly enough (well the first line anyway)

"Would you like to swing to on a star..."

I can't really remember the next two lines, but I think the forsth was "Or would you rather visit earth". Or something.


"...carry moon beams home in a jar?"

Not a problem. They're not bad. At least they carried on from the cliff hanger at the end of the tv series.

And it was nice to get a resolution for once..Too often one is left wondering where the story was going with other series. :(

Very true....

Earth 2
Total Recall 2070
Space: Above and beyond.
Odyssey 5

I got into these and well and truly smegged off with the way they finished.

You also forgot John Doe.I was so p*ssed when it finished the way it did... :mad:

But I agree totally about Total Recall.What a way to end a story.

I never saw John Doe.

If I remember rightly I didn't watch it because I found out it had been cancelled.

MMMMmmm - At least Firefly is getting a film :)

Others which were good but got canned way too soon:

Nowhere Man
The Adventures of Brisco Country, Jr.
Brimstone

I also remember Earth: Final Conflict. Lasted more than one season, but still got killed prematurely in the end.

Nowhere Man DID have a final episode.It was a naff one.

Brimstine was another that I was peed off about as well.

Earth Final Conflict suffered from stars leaving and and the storyline finally being so cr@p I couldn't watch the last series.In the end I couldn't bear the actress they had as the heroine in the final series.She was blonde and useless.All the male totty had gone as well. :(

As for the ending of Angel. :grind:

The ending for Angel was done for a reason though, it was a last ditch effort to get uncanceled or picked up by a different network. So technically that never ended and we may yet get to see the ending.

Though I thought that the ending for Angel was good actually...though with Wesley gone...
