42 episodes is not bad for a science fiction series these difficult for sci fi tv days.

For your sake, you had better hope that you're right. You're the one who is young enough to have to survive after the fall. I've already lived most of my life, and there is a reasonable chance I might be dead of natural causes by the time it does crash. But I give this society no more than 25 years, and that might be generous.
But look at history. I guess ancient Rome is the best example. They were once the most advanced society on Earth, with much of its art and culture surviving to this day. But as Rome moved ever closer to its eventual demise, the society grew more decadent and debased. Sound familiar? This same theme has played out over and over throughout human history.

None of which has ANY RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER to Showcase's decision to renew
Continuum.
Please find another venue for your "it's the end of the world as we know it" grousing.

Actually, it does.
My original comment was "But raw garbage can run for hundreds of eps... This society is a train wreck".
The point being that as a society declines, so does the quality of entertainment that it enjoys.

We are talking about the early end of a science fiction series and i pointed out that this is not, unfortunately, something new. The fact that science fiction has a rating problem the last years means something, it tells us something about contemporary viewers.
