Which work features a space-faring crew and is associated with an abrupt ending resolved by a cut-to-black moment?

• A. The Sopranos
• B. Stargate Universe
• C. Life of Pi
• D. Blade Runner

Answer: (B)

A story that ends with a sudden cut to black uses that abrupt moment to leave the characters’ fate unresolved and spur discussion. Stargate Universe fits this idea because it follows a space-faring crew aboard the starship Destiny as they travel through uncharted space. The finale is renowned for its abrupt cut-to-black moment, leaving the crew’s fate hanging due to the show’s cancellation. The other options don’t combine both elements: one is a crime drama with a famously abrupt ending but no space voyage, another is a survival tale on Earth or at sea, and the last is a space-flavored film not centered on a crew in the same way.
