Overall, a great show, and a great season, and there was some excellent stuff in the last episode, too. But, ending on a cliffhanger and then announcing no third season, basically saying "the cliffhanger will be resolved in someone else's movie at some point" is . . . I mean, I just really hate it.

I was bored/annoyed by all the obvious setups for other DCU stuff that had little or nothing to do with Peacemaker, and with how they just had them set up Checkmate without ever explaining in the show what Checkmate actually is. But the "no season 3" thing is the worst.

Why are some people losing their minds over the Peacemaker finale? In either direction? I was a little disappointed in it (WAY too much that was only there to set up non-Peacemaker stuff in future DCU projects), but when it worked, it WORKED. And the series overall was great.

I'm not going to support people being executed over an innocent difference of opinion!

I'm against the death penalty on principle, but as a practical matter I'm okay with it so long as it's reserved for the absolute worst of the worst like serial killers, those who commit crimes against humanity, and people who think Ray is the best Ghostbuster.

Nailed it.

Sure, but "The Kinda Shitty Computer" isn't a very catchy title.

If it's any consolation, you're not missing anything. I've been meaning to shoot a new "Thanks for Becoming a Member" video for a long time to replace this one. When I do, please enjoy YouTube pointlessly recommending it to you as a welcome change of pace!
