001

This was an absolute travesty of a finale. I expected so much more. There is a line between tension and just poor plotting. Note to writers: just because you mistreat the main characters, does not mean you are writing good drama. This left me wanting to toss the show away. I will watch the next season - after I check out the synopses of the first few episodes to see if the plotting gets better.

In the little summery prior to the episode it says 'Vincent stays one step ahead of the team'. Um no. Vincent is 1,000 steps ahead of the team. The team's ideas on how to catch him seem like they originated from a group of 4yr olds. I'm no expert, but even I rolled my eyes every time a team member suggested a course of action. And then, when the group is reunited for the first time after a scary abduction, with no questions, and after hearing about time travel, what does MacLaren's wife do? Right, she walks up to him and slaps him. Yea, cause after hearing about time travel, that would be everyone's first reaction. smh... On a side note. The character of Carly needs a 'reset'. She just might be one of the most unlikable 'good guys' I've ever seen. Hell, I'm rooting for her to lose custody so the kid can get away from her psycho nutjob of a mother.

All the new shows are now "goosing" their audience with clif-hangers. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it makes a mess. This is a mess.

The threads of Season 2 draw together and the madness of 001 manifests. Oops, bit of a mild spoiler there, sorry. Should James Cameron, Ridley Scott and Stephen King, backed up by George RR Martin condemned this as a mess and confusing, then time to pay a bit of attention to their opinions, not those who clearly know little about creating shows in such an arena.

I enjoyed this and am looking forward to the next season.

One of my absolute favourite shows ruined... the ending to season 1 was a drama this is just a travesty... should have killed off the smarmy creep Vincent and gotten back to the actual storyline...
