did this show get a proper ending/conclusion


or did it end on a really annoying cliff hanger for a season 2?

I'd like to know the answer to this too before diving in.

Ooh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm my own grandpa!

BramOh glad we both have common sense on this, I saw 3 episodes back in the day and then watched other things so would like to know.Even if it's a semi conclusion I'd be happy then a massive cliffhanger going nowhere! where you from?

This is perhaps a bit late, and quite possibly you've seen other threads here that address this, but Threshold doesn't end on a cliffhanger. From what I understand, they found out while filming the final episode that it wouldn't be picked up for a second season. It's a shame, in my opinion. It was by no means a perfect show, but the cast was quite good and it's not uncommon for a (especially sci-fi) show to improve in the second season. The first season of Babylon 5 was rather spotty, but I love that show enough that my signature is from it.

In short, Threshold is given a bit of an ending, which is absolutely not a cliffhanger, but I find it a bit disappointing. I just watched it again on youtube (easy enough to find, if you search for it), though the uploader there did speed it up for some reason, making everyone sound like they've inhaled helium. All in all, I'd say it's more worth watching than most other shows. If I had to compare it to another show now, I'd say Fringe. Peter Dinklage and Brent Spriner were the clear standouts to me, even though I didn't know Spriner was Data or anything about Dinklage when it first aired.

My shoes are too tight, but it doesn't matter because I've forgotten how to dance

beforescience thanks for the reply appreciated, Yea I also like Babylon 5

I shall purchase it on DVD then if that is the case nothing worse then a massive cliffhanger that doesn't at least get semi resolved

where you from?

I just watched on youtube. I'd never seen the last few episodes until today. I think it got much better towards the end. Was hoping they'd bring back the half alien Dr. if there was a S2. He could have become part of the team. I got my answer as to whether they knew at time of filming or if they did a re-shoot of the final moments. I think they speed up the videos to make it harder for youtube to find and delete if the uploader didn't have permission. Looked like it was from an overseas channel. Still upset after all these years. 😭
