This is a thread I'm creating to see what everyone thinks would've come of the show if it had continued. Where would you have the show to go, what stories told? Personally, it's a little hard to pick out my favorite episodes right now because I just started watching the show fairly recently and finished it not too long ago. Henceforth, I'm still in that state of shock where you think every episode of an amazing show was the best. As time passes, a select few are likely to start standing out. Without that said, there is a theme among a few of the episodes that I really liked: the parts where Elise and Dan actually got along and even at times worked together. If there's one bad thing I have to say about the show, and trust me, I know it's blasphemy to even consider the idea that Dan vs was/is anything less than perfect: because it is, it's that I regret the choices the creators made to have Elise become more antagonistic towards Dan in season two and three. In season one, she was more ambivalent towards him, at times even being nice to him, such as in Dan vs George Washington or even the pilot: Dan vs New Mexico.
If there was one thing I'd have like to have seen in future episodes of Dan vs, it's the gradual resolution between Elise and Dan until they eventually put aside their differences and become friends. With future episodes after that building on the new friendship. Something in particular I think would be especially good would be if Dan took revenge against something on Elise's behalf, foreshadowing his actual care for her despite how he belittles her. Alongside that, Dan could, perhaps, happen across Elise's secret identity as a secret agent one day without her knowledge and keep it for her rather than expose it to Chris, even going out of his way to protect it when she gets called in. Elise could find out Dan knows about her secret identity eventually and try to confront him over it. Dan would, of course deny everything and belittle her, but Elise would just thank him and maybe hug him before leaving. From there, their relationship could steadily improve.
Something else that I would have been very interested to see happen would be Elise having a baby. Admittedly, something like this, especially in a show like Dan vs, would have to have been done with all the precision and finesse of brain surgery, but it's well known that Elise want to have a baby despite Chris not wanting one. Personally, I'd be very interested to see Elise get her wish.
And lastly, though this one is considerably less than the others, I'd like to have seen Dan make up with Becky. He missed out on Hortence, but Becky is still available.
What would you all have liked to have see if the show continued? What things could Dan have gotten revenge on?
