Your Alternate Ending Spoiler
If you could choose how the show ends, what would you change? Anything? Nothing? Everything? I honestly don’t know how I expected it to end but transcendence was not it!

While S7 was a huge pain to watch, I actually don't hate the lore we got introduced to in it, with the origins of Callie and the Grounder language and all that. The main thing I would change is instead of humanity transcending at the end, the judge just leaves and tells them they can retake the test when they're ready. Like others have said, I would've loved to see a kind of cliffhanger ending where humanity now has an intergalactic trade system, the Bardoans stay on Bardo under new leadership (Octavia? Echo? Hope?) and the others go back to earth to rebuild. That last scene on the beach is honestly perfect, just take away the whole "they chose not to transcend and now everyone is sterile" BS. Just let us watch them fade into the sunset on the brink of humanity's rebirth, basically.
That also opens the door to spin-offs later on of generations later when their grandchildren's grandchildren are rediscovering the history of what their ancestors went through to get there.
