I CANNOT BELIEVE IT ENDED LIKE THAT. I knew it got cancelled before I started it but ugh!!

I want a season 2!

I love forever, but at times I thought wouldn't it be easy for Henry to have a place where he hides multiple clothes so he doesn't have to be caught skinny-dipping? I guess you could argue as someone who didn't want to embrace his gift or curse...it was his way of denying it but at the same time, by his words, he "became a student of death," showing he had come to acceptance of it after 200 years. He obviously didn't go seeking death in the physical sense but as shown throughout the course of the show he was a very private men who valued his privacy...therefore I felt it wouldn't been more in line with Henry's character to be always prepared for the worst case.

Logic aside, it most likely was just part of the show's gag's.

If he always loses his watch after death, why he always carry them with him and how he always regain them?

Loved the show, but it also feels a bit uncomfortable that Henry will possibly continue to live on forever

And its also depressing there wasn't another season :(

So I just finished forever, I remembered it being on TV 10 years ago, suddenly I saw it on tiktok 5 days back and then today I finished the series. Then I realised it reminded me of Castle, Mentalist, Lucifer type tv shows - Though i’d say its closest to Lucifer with its “Cant tell you” part. It is quite sad that it never got another season, as many have said before.

But I would say a reason it did not get a ton of viewership compared to the other series is I think the fact Jo Martinez seemed to be rushed or less influential compared to the other shows. Like in every other show the detective gets somewhat annoyed with the sherlock type character and here Henry did not really annoy people as much as he should have, and I think that led to its downfall

first episode aired on september 22, 2014. It's been ten years thinking about how great Forever is...

I hope Matt Miller and cast remember the date (is it too much to ask????

Adam has a theory that an immortal can only be killed permanently by the weapon that first made them immortal. We see nothing on screen to hint at where Adam might have gotten such a theory. If he and Henry are the only two immortals Adam has ever known, why would he think there was any way to kill them for good?

.

But what if Henry isn't the first immortal Adam has known?

.

Adam told Abigail, "For two thousand years, I've thought I was alone!" But he said that in 2015 CE, and he first died in 44 BCE. That leaves a significant gap, somewhere around 58-59 years. So what if Adam knew another immortal then?

.

They could have been the older immortal to Adam the same way Adam is to Henry. They could have been a beloved mentor, or they could have been as heartless and callous as Adam is now. Adam seemed pretty certain immortality would inevitably turn "a good and decent man" cold. Had he been told this by someone who should know?

.

Adam could have gotten his theory that the pugio could kill him, that the flintlock could kill Henry, because he had seen an immortal die forever before. Perhaps by their own hand, after growing utterly tired of life. Perhaps at Adam's hand, if they'd made Adam's life as miserable as Adam has been making Henry's. Perhaps manipulated into the attack, the way Adam tried to manipulate Henry into attacking him with the pugio, or perhaps they asked Adam to do it as an act of mercy.

.

Adam saw this other immortal die, with what he was told or guessed was the weapon that killed them the first time, and they stayed dead. And that's why Adam believes that the pugio is his way out, why he tells Henry that the flintlock is his way out. Because he's seen it work!

What would happen if one were to launch Henry Morgan into space? Where would he come out upon death?

Where was Henry Morgan on 9/11?

So I just watched 4 episodes and really liked the show, but then I learned that it was cancelled. So is the story at least somewhat finished? I'd hate to watch a great show only for it to leave me at a cliffhanger

This was probably my 20th rewatch. What a great show. I love everything about it. Still agonizing about the cliffhanger. Still sad that it’s all we are ever going to get from Henry and Jo.

I went to see the Groundhog Day musical last night starring Andy Karl and was shocked to see that in his bio in the playbill, it listed a role in Forever! I looked it up and it turns out he played Jo's husband Sean in the videos of him. Now I want to rewatch Forever again just to see him with this new knowledge (plus I'm due for a rewatch anyway lol)

The reason the gun didn’t work in stopping him was because the flintlock didn’t kill him. The drowning did. Notice that Adam was never re-stabbed by the dagger, hmmmmm? So we don’t know if being killed by the first weapon that made you this way actually works.

So my theory is that Henry died by drowning & not the gunshot.

Just watched season 1 and it’s was one of the best show I ever watched. Any news about season 2?

What is your favorite quote of the entire Series?

Bit late here... but any updates on anything else than its just cancelled? I cant believe they stopped filming this show I've seen other posts here talking about other shows, they are not a continuation of this one they are a whole new thing right?

I have loved this show since the first time I saw it years ago, recently I watched it again and of course we learn that their First death/weapon doesn't kill them permanently. But a thought occurred to me, the name of the episode is the FINAL death of Henry Morgan, so could it be, the FINAL "immortal" death, as in being killed again with the gun has only killed his immortality, and he is now mortal?

Thoughts??

I read through the other threads and didn't see anything similar so figured I ask. Also watching loved shows all over again, knowing they won't be renewed and you get those answers sucks.

50 years old and looking great!

What would happen if at a point in time there is no more water on earth for Adam and Henry to resurrect. Would they permanently die or would they come back to life once water is reintroduced to earth

Here are mine, in no particular order. I don’t memorize all the names of the episodes but I can give a brief summary of the plot:

• Episode 11 (Skinny dipper, where the anonymous caller’s identity is revealed)

• Episode 6 (Jack the ripper and Black Dahlia copycat killer)

• Episode 21 (where the truth about what happened to Abigail is revealed)

• Episode 22 (action packed episode with a heavy focus on Adam/Henry conflict + the cliffhanger ending for the finale)

• Episode 19 (The case about Eddie Warsaw. Although a filler episode, it was still very entertaining).

The show "New Amsterdam" has been mentioned here a few times, I thought I'd make a top-level post pointing anyone who's interested to where it can be watched for free. The show dates from 2008, and has a lot in common with "Forever," as well as both 1992 immortal series "Highlander" and "Forever Knight." Having finally been able to watch it, I think it is worthy to join these illustrious predecessors along with "Forever".

Be warned, it only got to air eight episodes, so the ending is a lot less satisfying than "Forever," although not as throw-a-brick-at-your-TV as the ending of "Forever Knight" was….

Well, I have given this a lot of thought (more than I am comfortable sharing) and I have come with the following "points" that I wish we could have seen in a perfect world, where Forever lasted for 5 seasons.

• Season 1, that's all we got and it's perfect.

• Season 2: Henry finds the way to avoid telling the truth to Jo; in the middle season finale, Lucas would figure out Henry's secret; Abe would find something about Abigail, and would try to conceal it from Henry for the rest of the season; some mysterious figure would appear at Adam's bedside and kill him. Lucas would die and then reborn.

• Season 3: Henry would show Lucas the trope of immortality. Jo's husband's death would be explored further and would have been the season's arc. Henry would meet another immortal, a woman (late 40's, from the middle ages), they would start a relationship. In the season finale, it would be revealed that Jo's husband wasn't really killed, but had to fake his own death because he is an immortal as well. Abe, with the help of Lucas, would discovered that Henry's immortal girlfriend was responsible for freeing Adam. Lieutenant Reece would be killed off.

• Season 4: A love triangle would develop between Jo, Henry and her husband. Adam would return to cause terror in Henry's life, culminating with an attempt on Abe's life, but would end with now Lieutenant Mike getting badly injured. In the season finale, Lucas would have a fallout with Henry and Adam would take his chance and try to influence him. Jo would finally put two and two together and confront Henry about his immortality.

• Season 5: A series of flashbacks would show how Adam became the man he is today. Lucas grows more and more uneasy about Adam's plans and Adam shows his hand (he has always know how end other's immortality, he demonstrates it by finishing Jo's husband). A small child appears at Henry's doorstep, they are also an immortal, the oldest immortal of them all. They have been tracking down Adam and need Henry's assistance. Abe is mortality wounded in the penultimate episode of the series. Jo rescues Henry and helps him defeat Adam, however, it requires the joint sacrifice of Henry, Lucas and the ancient child to do so. In the last moments of the show, Jo dies and reborns. However, is revealed she isn't an immortal, but is pregnant with one.

What are your thoughts?
