Yeah, I was a bit late on watching the finale. But I loved it.
True, it was a bit rushed. But that's to be expected on a season (possible series) finale.
Quick points:
- I don't really like the storyline w/Tracy over in Baghdad or wherever. The Jericho thing was pointless imo. Leaving her dead would have been a nice twist.
- I enjoyed the fact that everyone still got to where they were supposed to be despite it not happening exactly as they saw it in their FF. Wedick in the bathroom stall (but not taking a *+#%)... Nicole drowning (but not being choked/killed)... Olivia and Lloyd at her place (but them not having sex)... Etc....
- I disliked the fact that Wedick was able to call the President and alert the entire world in 3 mins that another blackout was coming. That was just too much of a stretch.
- Mark going John Rambo on all those guys in the FBI building was also a bit of a stretch. Son had a shotgun versus semi-autos and outran all those shots. Come on man.
- Did Mark really make it out of the building on some Neo w/Morpehus Matrix type +$@#?
- Is Simon really in on this or not? He gave Dimitri (Harold) his ring... But then again, this is the same guy who had his finger cut off as part of a plan to fool Lloyd. It just seemed strange that as soon as he started typing on the computer, things got triggered in motion to cause the next blackout.
- Janice and the baby... Something seems strange there. As if the baby is going to be some sort of messiah or something.
I dunno. I'm definitely curious to know what happens next after the lady took her out in the wheelchair.
- The new flash forwards are definitely interesting. It changes the show up cuz now apparently people are seeing flash forwards from random dates instead of everyone seeing flash forwards for the same. specific day. Charlie sees the FAR future... Someone else saw a letter dated 2011... Someone else saw Happy New Year 2015... There was a black baby being christened.... A black woman's hand (Gabrielle Union?) getting her wedding ring put on... A guy loading up a revolver with 6 bullets... A kid on the swing... Someone (the President?) signing an executive order... An xray of the chest for a patient.... A lot of random stuff just thrown in there.
All in all, it was a good 1st season. I too, hope it gets saved by ABC.
I can't believe V got the nod over this.
