1. I disagree after that manipulative "ending"
Edited on Sun Jun-19-11 10:16 PM by Armstead
Just a sleazy come-on to make people watch next season.

I feel ripped off.

2. I don't agree,. It's just like a chapter in a book that makes you go on to
the next chapter.

3. With a book you know where its going to end...
I really enjoyed the show overall, and figured thst the investment of waiting from week to week (or chapter to chapter) was paying enough dues.

This was promoted as watch for 13 weeks to see it unfold until the killer is revealed.

Not watch for 13 weeks expecting that you will receive a payoff only to learn at the end there is no payoff for anorher year.

If there was an ecistential pointbthat was being made, it would be one thing. (like the Sopranos)....But this was just a cheap trick for cynical commercial reasons.

As for me, I'll just forget the show and move on.

4. I really liked it...until this evening.
To not finish off the story is just cheap. Before that, with the exception the show that mainly focused on Jack, I was hooked on this show.

5. It was amazing....
I guess we know Richmond isn't the killer.

6. The only thing that got killed was my interest in the show
I doubt many people will even remember many of the details enough to care about who di it by the time they finally get to Season 2.
