:thumbsup: WoW a finale - you don't see many of them these days - and a fantastic one at that.

I didn't know how they were going to wrap it up in one episode but they did it very well - loved them managing to get to the Texas Embassy and then the air fight :thumbsup: there was a point that I thought that maybe the ending would be another nuclear blast :lol:

Glad that Becks found the truth eventually and that he and his men joined the rebellion :thumbsup: Just wish there was more :tear:

I'll qualify this by saying that I thought it was a terrific season finale. But, I thought that as a series finale, it left far too much up in the air. I know exactly why they did it, they had to leave room for continuation. However, just to reference Carol Barbee's comment that there's some 'wiggle room' for the story to continue; no kidding, there's huge potential!

The way that they ended it, it's very reminscent of the conclusion to Jeremiah, an open ending that kind of works as a series finale, on a certain level, but more than enough story left should it continue.

I have to say, once again, I'm absolutely gutted that the show's been canned again. There's still a slim chance. Sci-Fi and the CW are reportedly interested in the series, but that's some way short of anything concrete happening.

I'm very pleased that it has been left open :thumbsup: other than hoping it gets picked up elsewhere I think it is the only thing they could do without another 10 episodes. The conclusion did the show justice I think - they have started the ball rolling that can't be stopped :thumbsup:

According to Carol Barbee, Sci-Fi initially weren't interested in showing new episodes but are now coming under pressure to rethink their position. Also, the costs, apparently, aren't a million miles away from where Sci-Fi would need them to be.

As a finale, I thought it was very much like that of Jeremiah, and slightly less so, Carnivale, in that it provided a resolution of sorts, but still with plenty of scope for continuation.

They haven't got a great track record for looking after shows though have they :ermm: still you never know :)

Oh I don't know.

SG1, Atlantis, BSG and Eureka have all thrives on audiences of a couple of million. Jericho's get three times that. Granted they won't all follow the show to Sci-Fi, if it ends up there, but they'd take enough in my opinion.

Any genre show's chances of survival must be better on Sci-Fi than they'd be on CBS.

Could be a moot point anyway. Fingers crossed that something comes from the rumours.

A netlet must have to make a calcuation like this:

(# of rabid fans) X (percent who have access to premium cable) X (drawing power of the competition during the scheduled timeslot) X (expense of each episode's production) X (etc)

They'll save on promotion however. It's already got a ready audience and plenty of word-of-mouth. Plus, in the case of JERICHO, I imagine CBS, as producer, will happily help promote its airing on a cable network.
