Epic Cliff Hanger to End all Cliff Hangers

[aramis-112-804880 · 10/10 · 23 October 2022]

And a series. Too bad. In three years The Lost World had passed from being a psuedo-Arthur Conan Doyle yarn by way of Edgar Rice Boroughs with cheapjack effects with a lot of shirtless men and women in low-cut dresses, to an interdimensional intersection of time and space (if you know what that means; I don't) full of people we've come to know and were able to stand.

The first two seasons ended on cliffhangers. At the beginning of Season Two Summerlee disappeared. No profound loss. He looked pretty dead to me, but they found his hat in another place (where it might've been dropped by monkeys).

In season three we learned about Finn and the future and Challenger perhaps avoiding World War III in 2015 (apparently he did); we learned Veronica isn't just a pneumatic jungle girl, she's "Protector of the Plateau." Whatever that means. I doubt the writers have any good idea, either.

Spoilers: at the end of season three, a man called Maple-White, whom Challenger met in the first episode, returned and after hearing Challenger's tales bqasically said Challenger was out if his cotton-picking mind, even though both he and Challenger had copies of his journal and each had a picture Maple-White took of a pterodachtyl.

Roxton is being chased by Conquitodors and Marguerite is captured by Druids who are about to pack her in a hole. Malone is still AWOL, Finn goes back where she came from, Veronica is . . . Well, having a terrible time.

Follow all that? And Challenger? He's tied to a table in a futuristic room. You can tell it's futuristic because it's gleaming white. In a society apparently run by machines. Well, why not?

None of us will ever know if any of them survived or if they're there yet. What could one more season have done to hurt anyone? Oh, well.

A fun but puzzling episode ending a series you should have seen from the get-go. I'd like to write a paean to the series but don't have the time. For God's sake let us sit on the ground and tell sad stories about the death of kings. Right?
