too bad it was canceled


I would have been curious to see how it developed.

reply

Yep. Sucks. Apex writing on the wall with repeated name of Ellis (Sheriff) and the newly created Apex of that woman that wanted to selfishly live and now introduced the real apex enemy.

Got me excited for more but there is no season 2. I wish if they do cancel shows they'd at least cancel them after the conclusion. As in say they're cancelling so they can at least finish one more season off to conclude a series rather than leave it like they did with this series.

It was also a paradox of time travel just like the birth of John Connor in Terminator - we don't know if Sarah would have otherwise had a child, or a son, but regardless, if it was with someone other than that guy from the future, it would have been a different person.

And here in The Crossing we find out that the way Apex came into existence as a species is due to this selfish scientist who had the opportunity to experiment on a specimen from the future.

I’m not so quick to call someone selfish for having a survival instinct.

Well, in this case her survival meant the future extinction of the human race, and she actually knew about that, so...

I know I'm coming into this late, but I think I interpreted it as though this was a newly created future and not the original one; as in branching alternate realities. (My memory of this is fuzzy as I was watching while it aired, but just haven't been on this site for a while)

It does indeed suck this was cancelled. Not that the writing was brilliant, but it was tight and compelling enough.

I liked the show. It wasn't great. If I was the big hocho behind the desk I would have pulled the plug on this too. This isn't a network show.
