Right. Lost is ending when it should. When the story is finished.

Just like recently this year Battlestar Galactica ended. But was not canceled it reached its conclusion. That does not mean there cannot be direct to dvd features or a spinoff prequel. Caprica is not called battlestar galactica but it is in the same universe.

Sort of reminds me of when enterprise was just called that enterprise. Then changed to star trek: Enterprise.

Then you have shows that are canceled with incomplete stories. Journeyman, Bionic Woman, Flash Gordon etc.

I can name tons of sci fi shows but most of them deserved to be cancelled for being crap.

Except for Firefly, which is usually the exception to the rule. I used to like Space Above and Beyond. And hated when it was cancelled. Nostalgia is dangerous,lol. I recently went back and watched it on dvd and it was terrible. Poorly acted in some places. Badly written except for some standout episodes. And the concept was interesting but the execution was flawed and the low budget fox imposed did not help things for Glenn Morgan and James Wong. They did excellent work on the X-files. But then went on to make that bad trilogy of final destination films.

Then you have shows that just stayed on the Air no matter what like E.R. that recently came to an end but should have been canceled once all the stars left the show. The show only concluded after the author passed away. Michael Crichton. Which is also a main reason they won't do Jurassic Park IV.
