Shame. Maybe we’ll get it eventually.
Yeah, that would be awesome if they got picked up by someone else. I thought the show did a pretty good job of putting together an ending without resolving one of the show's biggest mysteries, and Duarte's line about fighting gods at least acknowledged the threat of the creatures that killed the aliens that made the protomolecule tech.
Marco was one of the main focuses of the final three seasons, though, so it at least made sense to have him be the main antagonist if you needed to end after six seasons. The real shame is that the cut to six episodes meant they had to cut out two subplots, one featuring Prax and the other featuring Pastor Anna. Prax's story would have obviously centered on him trying to figure out a way to efficiently feed the solar system to save Earth. Not sure what Anna would be doing, as I don't recall if she was in the sixth book or not.
And the books ended in satisfying fashion too, so you can always check them out to get the full ending that resolves the protomolecule story.
