Yeah CIA double agent eh, nice twist. I like how eveything is unpredictable in the show, one of my favourite shows this year.

It boggles my mind it gets bad ratings in the U.S, guess they are too stupid for shows like this and prefer watching **** like Survivor, Dancing with the Stars and American Idol.

And it seems it's rumoured that good overseas sales and low production costs will not save this show either..

The problem is that Hollywood (and the media in general) is scared to take chances now. As soon as something doesn't do well, it's dropped. Had it been made now, I don't think Star Trek: The Next Generation would have made it past season 1 or 2, which would have been a shame as the show didn't really hit it's stride until the third season (that's not to say there weren't good stories in 1 and 2).

I think that FF did slow down a little too much in the middle, and veered in to "Lost" territory a little with the secret groups up to no good idea. But, in the last few eps, it's really picked up.

Looks like its gone

you gotta ask now is it worth watching the rest of the season. Its just gonna leave you hanging

Well, with one ep left to go - it seems all the main characters flash forwards are not going to happen as seen.

Urm, yeah. OK. What to say about it? Hmmm... Could they of not of done a Life on Mars US and had the ending delayed so that it didn't end like that? Atleast with LoM US you got an ending.

[Tezcatlipoca]

As a season finale, I think it was very good.

As a series finale, I think it was arse. Couldn't the writers/producers have done better than that? The writing's been on the wall for ages regarding the show's (lack of a) future, you'd think they could have given us a better ending than that.

[cimt]

I seem to remember reading somewhere that there was 2 versions of the final episode. One for if it was cancelled, and one for if it was renewed. Am I getting my shows mixed up or was that an ending for a show that expected to come back next year?

[Tezcatlipoca]

Yeah, didn't seem like an ending for something which knew it was over!

Shame it faltered fatally in the middle - it turned out to be quite good, and finished well for the (now never to happen) second series.
