Added DiffLines:

* AccidentalDownerEnding: The series ran one full season, with the final episode intended as a cliffhanger: it ended with a failed peace conference (so the war will continue), one of the main characters dead, two more either dead or captured, a fourth severely injured in an explosion, and a very strong hint that the enemy "Chigs" never wanted the war in the first place. Then the series was canceled, so none of these plotlines ever got resolved.

Fox actively moved or pre-empted the show on a fairly routine basis, which made it hard to follow.follow during its initial run, and it also dropped the show on a ''massive'' cliffhanger, which was teasing some shocking reveals about the origin of the conflict and the relationship between the antagonist races, and also left a number of characters in total limbo.
