Continuum has wrapped its fourth and final season on SyFy, and Simon Barry has been making the rounds to talk about the finale and a potential future for the series and its characters.
He teased the chances of the series continuing in a movie or another format in an interview released over the weekend.
Now he has also spoke about the ending of the series with Blastr. The finale saw Kiera returning to her time, but since she had fixed things in the past – there was no place for her in the timeline. She was already there.
Barry spoke about that decision in an interview with Blastr.
“We finally settled on the ending we used before any scripts were written. It seemed to fit what the show had been about all along. Sacrifice for an idea that is bigger than you are. We knew it would be bittersweet, but the writers and myself have always been striving to find the complicated way out of a problem, because that tends to reveal more about the truth of who we are and what Continuum had been attempting all along.”
As for the spin-off potential for the series, he teased that once again, and he revealed more about one idea he would like to explore more with a new project.
“Personally I would love to write about Kellog in his new “situation” — that would be a fun book or graphic novel to write. I would also like to explore the story of the Traveler and the larger time-travel mythology myself and the other writers came up with but were unable to execute this season. There are some great ideas that never made it to the screen. Perhaps those concepts can see the light of day down the road in other storytelling mediums.”
What did you think of the ending of Continuum? Were you happy with the bittersweet ending? Tell us what you think.
It was altogether an excellent series, even with its minor imperfections. And how could the various “issues” and paradoxes about time travel be resolved? It is somewhat of an imaginary element at this point anyway. As for the rest, the cast was very good, I thought. And sad as it was, the ending, if not perfect, was about as good as it could be. For that matter, if the protector had stayed in the past, what more mischief could she have caused to further upset things? So in a way she had to go back to her time and thus… Read more »
Kellogg finds himself in Aztec country .He notices a mountain that is frequently
hit by Lightning. He waits there with his time ball until it is hit by lightning and is then sent forward in time to the place where he left.
Where he causes people in the future to start disappearing.
A team is sent back to find him etc etc. Including the protector in a bikini.
Happy Days.
Make more episodes please I wanna see how Cameron handles her new future and what happens with her from now on since she came back with Sam and can’t even be with him
I’m hoping they make a few stories that leads to a movie where Kellogg meets the traveler and is somehow able to mess with time travel and affect the present (He is an opportunist, how he’ll do it would be the interesting part). Facing her greatest challenge of moving forward in a future she has no place in, Kiera notices things are changing (thanks to someone messing with time) and has to learn how to let go of Sam and go back to the present. Meanwhile Carlos is depressed losing Kiera, but investigates strange events that look all too familiar,… Read more »

miss this show sooooo much ….damn …sad it had to end
I am a chick flick kind of girl and bittersweet endings make me cry. I wanted a totally happy ,everybody gets what they deserve, ending. I can understand the final episode and why Keira doesn’t get Sam but… It doesn’t make me any less sad. Regardless, I love this show and need more of Keira’s story. We all know that Kellogg is totally screwed and I love it! I just want more of Keira’s story please!!!!!
What would’ve been your happy ending to the story?
I did not like the ending to season four of continuum. There has to be some indication as to what Kira is going to do. Maybe a movie or a new
series about Kira is a good way to answer the up in the air finale of season
four!
Absolutely LOVED every episode. Great show! Would love a spinoff, with Kira now having no real place in “her present” timeline. She continues as Protector from the future. Meeting back up with Garza and Kellogg. Able to see
through the years, here and there, where our old characters are in their lives. While always having knowledge of and sights of her son. Maybe even meeting him as his mother’s twin sister who is a time traveler. Giving her, her due.
I really did enjoy this series although I did think there would have been a happy ending without thinking of the consequences of changing things. I feel so sad for Keira, all she wanted was to be with her son and that will never be. I was hoping she and Carlos would get together. I do hope we can come up with another party of continuum. Great show.
but think about this they also ended it quick with an open like ending but at the same time it wasn’t. There cannot be two people in and of the same timeline. So when you think about it someone has to go.
Amen to that.
The show has explored practically every time-travel plot device that has ever been invented in science fiction (multiple timelines, the grandfather paradox, inevitability vs. writing your own destiny and so on) and even though at times the storylines seemed a little patched up, the finale was a solid one and true to the spirit of the show. As usual, there was subterfuge, different and conflicting agendas, Cameron and Alec’s cunning plan worthy of a chess master and a decent amount of firefight (though the best combat was seen in previous episodes, particularly Travis’ final fight as well as Emily’s). With… Read more »
Yes but when you think about what he said in articles like this you second guess that with they ended it quick so Keira could do anything to her other counterpart just to be with her son.
True, she could easily do away with the other Keira, especially as the other one has no special ops training. It would be interesting to watch, no doubt. But one thing Keira has is spades is compassion and a moral compass that would never allow her to do that, I think. Even Alec, whose moral judgement has been less than impeccable at times, had a hard time deciding what to do with his other, evil self.
missed endn watto see I / of curs she hanged future
I missed the last series as it was not advertised enough or at all.
If they continue it or do a spin off, let’s keep the number of time lines
down to a minimum so we can understand what we (I mean you) are talking about.
Dealing with one time line can be confusing enough but multiple ones?? Liked the
show up to the point multiple time lines intervened.
