Do you think the series got a decent finale?
-
I don't think it got any finale. Sure the episode "through the eyes of a spiketail" is the last one listed, but with every single episode being a concluded story without any reference to preceding episodes I don't think it matters at all in which order one watches them.
-
There was no finale. The franchise is an unfinished project. Maybe the studio had a finale in mind, but they never got to make it.
-
Yeah I thought the show left off at a good place.
-
Life's all about the Land Before Time.
Everything we do must be related to the Land Before Time.
We are going to base our lives on the Land Before Time
I'm gonna sleep with the Land Before Time videos.
My new name is now Land Before Time.
I want the Land Before Time now
Now
NOW!
Landfoot! Cera! Aaaa!
My life!!! Aaaa!!!
The land before tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
Our movie, Our lives :)
-
I can tell the series is gonna revive... someday ;)
-
It never had a "finale". And even if it did it would probably be just as abysmal as the thirteenth movie and through the eyes of Spike. I would not want the franchise to be revived either.
-
The first movie was supposed to be the finale because it actually had an ending that was intended to end. ;)

1. I thought the "Great Egg Adventure" was the last one to air.
2. Some stories actually had referred back to other episodes like "The Mysterious Tooth Crisis and "The Great Egg Adventure used the smiliar "mud pool" experience.

Even though, I think "Through the eyes of a Spiketail was the last episode produced, so it's intended to be the season finale.
Also, it just seems a little bit more "special" than the other episodes to me.

Like everyone said there never was a finale. The show basically is on hiatus, sort of. :rolleyes:
-
Like I said in some other topic (the 14th movie topic maybe?) The TV series was never formally cancelled. There was never any statement from Universal saying it was cancelled, or from Cartoon Network waying they weren't ordering new episodes. It's kind of like what happened to Futurama the first time it was "Cancelled". Fox just didn't order another season, and that was that. No statement or explaination for why.
So yeah, the TV serieve is technically on hiatus, but it's essentially dead for all intents and purposes.
-
I felt like "The Return to Hanging Rock" (I think thats what is was called) was the closest thing to a finale. It might have been because it was the last one I watched but I remembered when Ruby was re-united with her family she said something around the lines of the reason they were there was to find a way to stop Redclaw. When I heard that I was like: "huh? You mean there is actually supposed to be an over arcing story for this?". I remember thinking that episode was one of the better ones as well.
-
Like others have said, I really wouldn't consider it as a final, yet I can see why others can tend to think it that way.
Honestly, if not for the economic troubles, there probably would've been more episodes. I least, that's what I would think. :DD
It's kind of like the season final of Catscratch, IMO; if it just would've gotten better ratings, there would have been more episodes. Yet, for some strange reason, it still left me feeling satisfied. ^^
I don't think I've actually seen the last episode of the LBT series, at least, not all the way through. I really should, sometime. :D
-
Unfortunately, the show never had a finale along with the movies. Probably because kids want to see cartoons fart or get hurt rather then dinosaurs working together and being good friends. The T.V. show failed so they closed everything related to the series up, along with the movies (they failed as well) and that was unfairly the end of it.
-
All the same, I'd like to see Red Claw defeated. What I'd like to know is why Red Claw is after Chomper.
-
In my opinion; no, I felt like the series just stopped; it should have gone on for more episodes.
-
Still needs to be revived. We need to know what happens to Chomper, Ruby, Red Claw, Screech, and Thud.

The Great Egg Adventure was the last produced, I believe. It also seems a little more "special" than the others.
BTW, is the date on this thread correct? I could swear I made it in late 2012. :confused
-
No, not at all.. I'm pretty sure it was cancelled wasn't it? If so, I hate when good shows don't get true finales, and they just stop. Although, you can't really do anything because it was cancelled lol :p .
-
The TV series itself didn't have an overall storyline, apart from Ruby and Chomper having to hide in the Great Valley to escape from Redclaw.
So it would be hard to create a true finale for it, other than some tie in with a movie or Reclaw being finally defeated and Chomper and Ruby returning to both their families.
I would've loved to see a second season, and maybe more, especially if they'd invested in an overall storyline.
As it is, I believe the movie sequels will give us some kind of a proper farewell to the TV series.
-
Series hasn't finale and has only small fragments of beginning.
We didn't get full pre-story, about Chomper, Ruby, Redclaw with fast biters, and the rest habitants of Mysterious Beyond.
And of course there's no finale.
Also, excuse me, but it seems Chomper and Ruby have lived in Valley for more than year. Long enough, I say. But I didn't see how they attempt to end their mission as fast as it can be done, and return to their families. Oo
That's weird.

Nope. "The Great Egg Adventure" was the last produced and was intended to be the series finale, whereas the other one was the last aired.
"The Great Egg Adventure" is also a little bit more special than the other episodes because it doesn't have Spike, Cera, or Ruby in it.

God, why do you have to say that? It's not true!! :cry :cry :cry
TGGE was the last episode produced!! It wasn't the last one aired, it was the intended series finale!! There's nothing special about the other one!!
Why am I all alone in this?? :neutral

Allow me to ask, Bruton.
If you don't think TTEOAS was anything special than what is so special about TGEA? I can understand your viewpoint a little, that episode about Spike was very unique in many ways but I recall not liking it at all. Still, I, personally, don't see anything extraordinary about the TTEA that would suggest it was meant to be the last episode...
Production order is not as significant as the order it aired. For me anyway...

Whatever. TGEA was meant to be the last one and I just wish everyone could understand that.
-
Why does it matter so much to you? Tbh, I'd be more freaked out about another guest character that they messed up (*cough* Ali) than the supposed order of the episodes when there's no continuity within the series whatsoever...
Just trying to understand your viewpoint :confused

I agree, especially with Ali!!
-
It matters because the other episode stinks as a finale and the fact that no one practically, wants to admit TGEA is the true finale just makes me frustrated. What do you want me to do? Say it's not the finale? Because it is, always has been, and always will be.

I think any episode of the tv-series stinks as a finale. There's nothing final about any of them, nothing that would make them stand out from the others in a way that it gives the series a good finale... but that's not the main point.
You wonder what you should do? Nobody expects you to change your opinion. It's perfectly fine that you have a firm believe that TGEA was meant to be the final episode. What you have to do is accept the fact that others may not share your opinion. That's all. When somebody believes that TTEOAS is, has always been and will always be the final episode, then that's also perfectly fine. Since there's no 'right' or 'wrong' in this discussion (due to the fact that there are controversial sources suggesting that either one or the other is the final episode), we're talking about opinions, not facts. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion and they have to accept that others may have a different opinion on the same topic. That's all you have to do/understand.
-
I second Ducky on this. If you feel TGEA is the finale, then by all means, you can believe that. But you shouldn't say "it is the finale, it always has been and always will be", because in the end, your belief in what is the final episode is just an opinion. You can't state it as fact, because it is not fact. It is opinion. There's a difference.
The LBT series has no continuity. No order in which the episodes run. Not all TV shows have a set order. Anyone can come into the LBT TV series and decide what order each of the episodes should go, and they wouldn't be wrong; there's really nothing to say "this episode goes before this". This is why you can say TGEA is suitable as a finale while someone else may have another episode they prefer as the finale.
You shouldn't really feel obliged to say that you were wrong, no more than someone else should feel obliged to say that you are right. If someone else disagrees with you, you should accept it. And you shouldn't try to pass off your opinion as fact. There is nothing to really support your claim of "TGEA is definitely the finale of the show"; it's only opinion.
Which is fine. Like I said, if you really do feel that's the best ep to end the series on, then you are free to believe that. Just don't go shoving your opinion down other's throats and try to make people agree with you. You can argue why you feel it's the best, but you can't place it on a pedestel and say "this is absolute fact".
We all have different opinions, Bruton. You just need to learn to accept it and not worry if someone disagrees with your views.

The show was awful god awful to be frank. Each episode was hard to sit through. There situations would take a few minutes to fix they dragged it out for 22 painful minutes with two god awful songs on each episode. That was the scrapping the bottom of the barrel from this franchise. Each episode was rushed and forced and the characters where annoying and painful to watch. And no the series final was bad and after it I shouted hallelujah it's over. Thank god it got one season and not two. It didn't need two. But even tho the show was a complete let down I gave each episode a watch and glad I gave it a try but I'll never watch it again.
-
I'm not finished with the show, but I'm going to see TGEA last.

I'm sorry it was so bad for you ADFan185.
I got to say that for all my criticism about the later movies I found the LBT TV-series better than many others and better than I had expected it to become.
Serving the plans to revive elder threads as suggested in the rock circle, here is a link to my old thread on behalf of the TV-series (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=2919).

It wasn't cancelled; another season just didn't happen. Let's wait and see what Universal Kids brings us (or doesn't) in the future...
