Yes -- I think there's a good possibility of TRON returning in animated form circa the time of TRON 3.

I'm incredibly saddened by this news, and while I'm irritated by the tv guys at Disney, I bare no ill will towards them at all (I'm cool like that)

All I have to say is this: Everyone involved with this series, thank you so much for creating such an incredible show. When I was sad or having a really rotten day, I could count on Uprising to make me feel better and such. It's a shame we won't see more right now, but who knows, maybe we can try again when TRON 3 comes closer to release eh?
So until next time

TRON LIVES!

Im actually relieved that we're not getting more seasons...for now.

Because when I saw how each episode was still adding elements that arent getting addressed or resolved as we move towards the last handful episodes...I got worried that there would be loose ends everywhere, and the anticipated questions about Rinzlers origin, Becks fate etc wouldn't even be answered by the end of this "season".


Besides, as long as tron 3 is getting started in some form, Im happy ; )

And I don't even know whether I would like the idea of seeing other unimportant parts of the grid? After tron 3, when there is more stuff to work with and whatnot, however, sure!

Ones that have nothing to do with what Tron was up to I guess.

I mean where would it go, further past to before Uprising? Or from a different characters perspective?order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I can only guess at how things might play out at this point. If the writers knew that there was a possibility of the series not continuing past the first season, they may end it with Tron being captured for repurposing by Clu. (Maybe Dyson'll trap Beck to draw Tron out of hiding and force him to give himself up or something...) That way, if the show did get picked up for a second season, either Beck could rescue Tron at the last second, or Tron would end up getting repurposed and Beck would be left to carry on the fight in his name for season 2. If the show didn't get renewed, that would stand by itself as the conclusion for the entire series.

Personally, I still want to see how Bartik ends up with the Resistance. >.>

However things end, it's been an amazing run. I'm still going to hold out for an eleventh-hour save, but even if it doesn't happen, props to everyone involved for giving us an amazing new chapter in the Tron universe.

LWSrocks2 Wrote:Honestly I'm a bit surprised at the people knocking Disney over this. Uprising was a great show, and it sucks that they canceled it- but there's one important thing we all have to remember here. Disney is in this business to make money. Their ENTIRE goal, at the end of the day, is profit. This isn't "worshiping the numbers and bowing down to the bean counters", this isn't "being unable to handle the mature subject matter", this is a problem with the show not reaching a wide enough audience; and ultimately, not making enough profit. We can't expect Disney to willingly lose money for the sake of creating a good product, because that's not what businesses do.

But we can fault them for mishandling the show, which I think a lot of people here are doing. (And justifiably so, IMO. The long hiatus, unannounced schedule shifts, and general lack of enthusiasm in promoting the show didn't do it any favors, and whether or not making it a Disney X.D exclusive was a wise move is debatable.)

Simply put, the show deserved better. Other quality shows that have underperformed in the ratings have been given more time to realize their potential and gone on to succeed. Tron: Uprising is worth that investment. Give the show a second season in a good, stable timeslot and actually promote it properly and I think they'd see the kind of viewer numbers they're looking for.

LWSrocks2 Wrote:Tron Uprising is good, but it isn't flawless. It isn't some holy grail of television perfection; there were MANY flaws in the story.

Seriously? I can (and have) pointed out many story flaws in Legacy, whereas I can't really find fault with the writing in Uprising.

LWSrocks2 Wrote:I, for one, don't like prequels such as this, because when you think about it, if Beck was ever going to be very successful with his 'uprising', Legacy wouldn't have happened. He may have ended up defeating Tesler and taking back Argon, which will probably be great for his little city, but we knew from the start that nothing Beck would ever do would be great enough to create a change in the grid.

Does Argon really look like a little city to you? And how do you measure success?

One of the nice things about Uprising is that it's given us a much better sense of the sheer scale of the Grid. There's a lot more there than Tron City, Flynn's safehouse, and the portal. Uprising gives the impression that Clu's built an empire with Tron City as the capitol, and while he rules the heart of the system with an iron fist, his control isn't as absolute in these cities out on the periphery.

Not only is Beck getting out there and fighting for the people of Argon, he's inspiring them to fight back against the Occupation. No one program would be able to singlehandedly overthrow Clu from within the Grid, but I'd like to think that the fact that there are multiple anti-Clu factions out there by the time of Legacy owes at least a little to the Renegade, as word of his acts of defiance spread through the Grid and inspired other programs to start rising up during that thousand-cycle period.

LWSrocks2 Wrote:There are plot holes everywhere, and the characters are a little bland. Don't see what I mean? How does Beck, a mechanic, become not only a legendarily skilled fighter, but also is able to take multiple highly trained guards in a fight and win every single time? If Tron is able to train him well enough to handle that kind of combat, then shouldn't he also be fit to take on the guards without having to worry about his scars? Not only is this all unexplained, but it makes Beck hard to relate to. He's not an underdog, he kicks everybody's ass without having to show any sort of struggle.

Nothing you described there would qualify as a plot hole.

It's pretty clear those "highly trained guards" are just mooks, most likely repurposed strays and conscripts. They're the equivalent of Star Wars stormtroopers. It would be fairer to compare Beck to Tesler, Paige and Pavel, and when he's squared off against them, he's had to work hard to win (and hasn't always done so - he's needed saving on more than one occasion now.)

As far as Tron goes, he needs constant trips to the healing chamber to keep him from keeling over. If he runs out of energy, he dies, unlike other programs. He's a sprinter, not a distance runner. He can train Beck at the lair, sure - the healing chamber's right there, so he can always step into it between practices if he has to. He can even intervene to save Beck out in the field if he absolutely needs to. But overexerting himself is guaranteed to be fatal. The implications were clear when Dyson spelled out just what he'd done to Tron's code.

LWSrocks2 Wrote:He's always successful, and not ONCE in the show so far have I been legitimately worried about the outcome. Even when Tesler was almost strangling him to death with his creepy Extendo-Arms, we knew that Beck would either miraculously win, or that Daddy Tron (well, okay, so it was Abel) would come to save him.

Let's be fair here. How many action-adventure movies or shows do you know of where the lead character is in genuine danger of dying? I mean, did you seriously expect Sam to get ganked during the disc battle with Rinzler in Legacy?

LWSrocks2 Wrote:EDIT: The main thing I am worried about is that this will effect TRON 3. It's clear that Disney's strategy was to gauge interest in the franchise based on how successful this show is. It's proven to be not as well appreciated as Disney hoped, which may not bode well for the film franchise.

I'm more concerned with Uprising as a thing in its own right than I am with how it might affect a possible Tron 3, honestly. (Unless they intend to have some characters from Legacy play a role in Tron 3 somehow, which is something I'd totally get behind.) All indications are that Disney's moving forward with a sequel regardless.

Unfortunately, the moment Uprising was moved to its midnight slot, the show was ALWAYS going to be cancelled. It was inevitable.

The facts are, Uprising got over a million viewers for the pilot episode. Good figures. But after the first 5 regular episodes, ratings went down to 400,000. Not good. It was then that the show was put on extended breaks and consistency moved time slots. TPTB at Disney didn't really give the show a chance to breath, its as if the show were under pressure to perform well from the start. And when those expectations weren't met, no-one really knew what to do with it. And I wouldn't be surprised if the show was expensive. Talent like Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, Charlie Bean plus others on the cast and crew don't come cheap. Really, TPTB should have given Uprising more of a chance to pick up it's audience rather than around with it. The interfering probably had quite a negative impact on the audience, since no-one knew what was going on.

Heck, in the UK, we've had the episodes 1-6 on constant repeat on Disney . I haven't seen any new episodes for a while, but have seen them through other means.

And now Disney will have the Clone Wars from season 6. A show the regular pulls in 1.5 million viewers a week. And is linked to a franchise which Disney are now investing heavily in because they know they will make money from it. The truth is simple, Any company will go where they make the money. Star Wars will make more money for Disney. There's a more of an audience for it than our computer world.

Uprising is a good show. I shall miss it as much as everyone else. I don't believe we'll get all of the answers by the end of the last episodes, there's simply too much to wrap up in 3 episodes. The show deserved to be treated better by those in charge at .

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we don't get another movie now. Star Wars would be more of a priority for the studio. If TRON 3 gets a green light beyond the script stage, I'd be pretty damn surprised. But I've been wrong before.

Looks like it'll be up to us, the fans, to show what may have happened next to this cast of characters, and how TRON became Rinzler. where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

IF, if they made smarter decisions they would of aired Uprising right before "Once Upon A Time" and it would of gotten VASTLY better ratings I think. Constantly changing when to air an episode, months long hiatus of showing no new episodes, and minimal to almost no advertizing. Is what resulted in low-ratings. Disney mishandled Uprising pure and simple. IMO (btw something wrong with the forum code) in both Firefox and Explorer i keep getting a error were the forum is over half cut-off an on the top of the page it says "Post: Argument 'Expression' is not a valid value.Post: Argument 'Expression' is not a valid value.Post: Argument 'Expression' is not a valid value. "

I still think Disney can keep the show alive but only as an internet exclusive. Just take it off the Disney channel and move it out to a special website so Users can watch new episodes there, OR through iTunes/Netflix, etc. Think about it. The web is the new TV. That's why they had low ratings because every darn kid is online or gone mobile. Or even using Netflix on the PS-3 network, or X-Box LIVE.

(rapping Disney's head, Biff style) Anybody home!?? Anybooody HOOOMEE!??!

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but found an article on IGN where Edward Kitsis is apparently claiming the fate of Uprising is "undecided".

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/13/tron-uprising-producer-we-need-more-viewers

However, if you read between the lines it translates to "if we don't get a lot more viewers, quickly, the show is cancelled".

Maybe an outpouring of support NOW might still have an effect, though.
