Like i dont think they scrapped the original ending for the first season, all the rest of the seasons for that matter, after the threat of cancellation. It does not look like it. A special to conclude this will just cram in too much in too little time... but of course, if its all they can get, indeed following a cancellation, it will be all that is left of this masterpiece.

I have to disagree with you here. To be honest, after re-watching this last episode, it really felt like they were setting the stage for a feature-length animated film. Tron's back to full strength, the people (well, programs) on the street are finally ready to start fighting back against the Occupation, and Clu himself is leading a massive fleet to Argon City to deal with matters personally. The battle lines have been drawn. I can easily imagine them following that up with a two-hour Uprising movie that covers the battle for Argon, and ends with Tron either being captured for repurposing or giving himself up to save innocent lives, setting the stage for his conversion into Rinzler.

They could definitely go another full season, and I'd love to see them do it, but I think I'd be content with an Uprising movie along those lines.

I really, REALLY hope we get another season. That ending made me super-excited, and there's just too many loose ends in the story.

interesting points there
i´m just worried of the many unresolved plots and wether they would get resolved too fast if it ends with a big battle.It would be nice, but many plots that are left hanging now i think require a lot of discussion, thinking and quiet moments. Like the tension between mara/zed and Beck/paige, wether they will find out becks identity, paige finding out the thruth about her past...things that make for character growth. They cant do all these scenes on the battlefield. But there cant be too many "okay lets rest for a while(and resolve relations)" scenes either. There has to be the right amount of both, and so,there is just a risk it gets rushed.

Very awesome episode.

With regards to Tron becoming Rinzler, I think it will have something to do with Clu losing Dyson which leads to Tron finally being caught in the process to become Clu's new right hand man, but maybe something along the lines that Dyson is not re-purposed (I dont think?) and Clu realizes this was the mistake and that's what makes him re-purpose Tron so he doesn't make the same mistake twice.

They need to do something, the episode was very good but not a good episode to end the series (though I suspect it was never planned to be ending and so it would have been OK), I suspect they will do maybe a 40 minute episode a few months before Tron 3 which will tie up the events up to Legacy, with the cast coming back in Tron 3 they can use the voice acting to add to TU.

IZI Wrote:yeah, i´m hoping for the best! They have a lot of talent after all. also about this episode,i think they handeled cutlers story perfectly!It was sad to see him go, but im glad they went to repurpouse him. I´m also glad Mara came to her sences! And my gosh,how Zed has matured throughout the series! He went from being insecure and whiny to a independent program with a strong sence of moral. and hey,one more thing. Why is this episode called "terminal"??? whats the connection?

I'm glad Mara finally got her head on straight. Seeing her stand up to Pavel like that was one of the high points of the series for me. Zed had a great character arc, too. Over the course of the series, he grew from a whiny jerk into a character I could actually respect. His development felt very believable and natural. Kudos to the writers (again!) for the amazing job they did.

Seeing Cutler's story end that way was painful. I liked Cutler, dammit! I had always hoped that he'd return, but not like that! Still, I'm glad that they brought him back in the finale. I think it says something that Clu would put him in command of the giant recognizer and send him back to Argon on such an important mission after repurposing him.

I think the episode title, "Terminal", was a reference to Tron's condition ("terminal illness") rather than anything computer-related.

There was an interview with Bruce Boxleitner regarding his character Tron on 'TRON: Uprising' on YouTube:

Same question was asked (sort of). Sounded like the answer was basically "end of the series". Considering how the first season panned out appeared the first 19 episodes were cementing what was to follow. (I say this since another article did state story-writers did have 2-3 seasons planned. Why the 1st season ended as it did. As with every fan of the series...I hope they continue it.)

I would think Tron would end up "wearing the black suit" near or at the end of the series. Beck isn't yet at the point where he's ready to take on the Tron persona if he needed to. (Does he need to? In the series it would would seem not. But we already know what eventually happens with Tron.) When Tron is turned does he take out Beck as Rinzler with the resistance is already spreading as we see in Legacy...then the series draws to it's end as intended?

Personally would like to see Tron remain as himself until it would have been at or near the end of the entire series should Disney have more seasons. What can I say....I like the guy.

Well, the program asking for Castor's help is none other than the revolutionist Bartik. Yep, as in Bartik and Hopper. And it looks like we just saw how he turned from pro-Clu to anti, judging by the standing together scene.

Yeah, I caught that too! From the looks of Legacy, him and Hopper realized the right side to fight for was the Renegade. I guess getting your tail saved once or twice by him will do that to you.

So I correct my previous statement. They tied up THREE plot threads.

Wasn't there a story in a sci-fi mag regarding Bartik & Hopper around the time of Legacy's release in theatres that not only answers why those two change sides but...how Bartik ended up with his scar?

Just the scar. In that comic (solar sailer prisoners, every page is scanned on the wiki) they're already revolutionary.

It just occurred to me...If Tron is healed up now and out from under the debris, will Beck continue to impersonate him?

This is my first post but I have been a lurker for a while. I must say that this is such an awesome show. It would be a sin to cancel it after only one season. This show really needs to be an hour long it is so damn good. I have every single episode on my dvr. I think some of the big stars should be contacted via social media to let them know how we feel about the reported impending mistake. They make so much money that paying for this would be like a hobby for them.

That said what a great season finale. I think the damage is already done for Tron. Clu is too smart. I think he knows about Beck and Tron is not really back. I hope we get to find out with a season 2.

One other thing. Where is Flynn? He should be on the grid now. How can Tron not know where he is?
