So long, Jericho

[kelliem]

Well, that was actually a fairly satisfying ending. Much better than the LAST time. While it's a shame they lost much of their audience and it there will be no more eps, I can live with this ending. It would have been be interesting to see where the show would have gone from there, but as last episodes of a series go, this one had a lot to recommend it. Things weren't completely wrapped up, but there's hope. And, yay Beck did turn out to be a good guy! Also... I never saw slash in this show before, but I was definitely getting some Hawkins/Jake vibes there toward the end. ;D

Did you recognize the 'mole' who shot Hawkins? Had he been featured in earlier episodes? I was really delighted when I found out while watching back episodes that DB Cooper had been on the show before he showed up with Ravenwood.

I didn't catch the mole's actor's name to try and check it.

I did recognize him but not from Jericho. His name is Xander Berkeley and he's one of 'those guys' who shows up in everything. ;D This was the first time we've actually seen him in Jericho rather than just hearing a voice.

I was satisfied, too, that if they had to end it, they did it well enough. I was very happy that Jake, Hawkins, and Stanley all survived. I was also very glad that Beck was a good guy.

Actually, I felt like they ended it so that if someone did pick it up on another channel, it could still have a storyline.

Overall, I'd give it a B+. It's definitely better than a lot of series finales I've witnessed, such as SG1, which I hated.

Ditto. I suppose there's a faint hope that SciFi might pick it up, if the reruns do well, but I'm not holding my breath.

I think B+ is about right, mostly because it felt a bit rushed. Other than that, bravo. :)

well, damn... that *was* the last? maybe it was my hopeful imagination but I thought I heard that there was a final episode...

but if that was it... I guess I can live with it... not that I have much choice ;)

Yup, that was it. Unless by some wild chance it does really well for SciFi and they decide to pick it up, but I suspect that's not going to happen.
