    Answers to mysteries proposed by canceled series

    I've been thinking about this since they started their serial cancelations of series that have any sort of sci-fi, supernatural or mystery element to them, I'm thinking about THRESHOLD, THE EVENT, THE NINE, several series where people come back from the dead, there have been a lot of them and they are invariably canceled and so nothing really is ever explained.

    Wouldn't it be great if someone set up a web-site where frustrated viewers could go where the writers perhaps would explain their thinking? OR SOMETHING????

    TV viewing for the last 15 years has been so awful because of this...

    The people behind THRESHOLD laid out their plans,.

    Planned storylines[edit]
    A featurette included on the August 2006 DVD release of the series confirmed a number of reported and rumored storylines that were planned had the series survived:

    The series had a three-year arc that would have seen the series change its title each year, from Threshold to Foothold, referring to the next level of Molly Caffrey's plan for a mass alien invasion, and finally to Stranglehold in which a well-established alien presence has appeared on Earth.
    In the episode "Vigilante", it is revealed that Ramsey has a drug and alcohol problem. This would have progressed causing Ramsey to "hit bottom" at one point. Meanwhile, it would be discovered that the abnormality in Ramsey's brain that caused his short stature actually made him immune to the alien infection.
    The Threshold team would learn that 80 more probe ships were headed to Earth.
    The aliens had been sending probes to Earth every 160 years or so, but these probes failed to start widespread infection due to the lack of travel and technology on the planet at the time. The episode "The Burning" hints at this with a buried 320-year-old probe. The episode "Outbreak" continued this arc by having Lucas encounter a 19th Century man in a dream who says he fought and defeated the aliens.
    The episodes that were not aired by CBS also included several plot elements that would probably have been explored had the series continued: for example, Dr. Sloan, the so-called "Vigilante" introduced in the episode of the same name, whose self-appointed mission is to kill infectees (the episode also indicates a romantic attraction between him and Caffrey); the real nature of the gamma ray burst headed for Earth indicated in "The Crossing"; the effect of Threshold on Lucas Peggs' marriage; Cavanaugh's search for his brother (who becomes infected and provides the aliens with information about Threshold); the development of an alien infectee culture (who refer to themselves as "improved" humans) and their perception that the US government is persecuting them (an element introduced in the final episode, "Alienville"); and the aftermath of Caffrey's orders to increase Threshold's powers in "Outbreak".
