I just wish it could get renewed. Otherwise they're ending it on a cliffhanger of sorts. Gah.
That is the one major critique that comes to my mind, as well. I liked the initial sibling tension between Lion-O and Tygra. I thought this would be something that would be ultimately resolved by the end of the season, however some of the flashbacks really revealed just how dark their mutual resentment had been at certain points in their lives. I'm not sure the last episode left the two half-brothers any better off than the first episode. In fact, I'd say their relationship significantly weakened, if anything.

Spoiler:
.....Maybe that's what eventually turned Lion-O gay?


KIDDING. Sort of. But c'mon, that outift in the original show? Seriously.

Not that anything's wrong with that.

At this point, I'm going to wait to see if it's true. If it is, that is sad. They should have gotten rid of Level Up. That's NOT a cartoon.

Just because nobody is working on the show right now doesn't mean it's cancelled. Just look at Iron Man Armored Adventures. It was almost 3 years before we saw season 2...it'll probably be that long before we see season 3 (and yes there will be a 3rd season).

Yeah it's dead. It takes 9 months for one episode of animation to be completed from start to finish, so if they have no plans right now it would take at least 2 years for a season to begin. By that point there would be no reason to continue as the original kid audience outside the hardcore fans would be gone.

Well... is it too mean to say that they "closed the book" on this show?

I really hate to hear that the show died before we really get to know the whole story behind Pumyra's history and character.

Indeed. Really wanted to see how far her relationship and loyalty to Mumm-Ra would've gone.

It's too bad that the show ended. I was really enjoying it.

it's too bad, but the ironic thing is now we're likely to get it airing here in Canada on freakin Teletoon at some point. which is fine as i've not seen it yet!

c'mon complete series release!

A pity, it was really well done. It is sad it didn't find its audience. I think a lot of it is it wasn't promoted. It seemed to be made to sell the toys but no one knew about the toys. When I worked at ToysRus I was the only one excited for them or even knew they were coming out. I'd love to see it continued though in comic form or something at least.

Well, the latest eps are already scheduled to come out on DVD in October. If that's what you're talking about, then wish granted. If you mean a reissue including all 26, then that's a little much to hope for. It's the most depressing ending for a kids' show ever.

At this point my friend I'll take what I can get

Eh, the Complete Series release of Wolverine and the X-Men was kinda in the same boat on the season-ending cliffhanger.
