Is anyone up to date with this? I just caught up with it. The last two eps were really good, some questions answered, others raised

And Lucy is back in full swing

:D And there was a Tommy/Rebecca confrontation which I enjoyed.

I have to say though I was hoping some of these characters would have some redemptive qualities but they are all awful, awful people, especially Tommy :S:S It's like the show tries to create some sympathy for them but then it just falls back on them because the 63s are so violent and terrible

I was pretty disappointed with the finale from what I remember. I'm still loving the flashback scenes to the sixties. It's a shame the whole show isn't based there as it would make me dig it a lot more. Have to agree with your earlier comment that Terra Nova is/was better

lol, that was the finale? I totally missed that. Really didn't feel like a finale to me.

It was a short season of only 13 episodes. Not sure whether you are watching at a slower pace than me because I downloaded them awhile ago.

Well, I've been pretty behind on my shows and like I said, I only just got caught up

[spoiler:04c86110ad]At the end she was flat-lining so yeah! What a way to end. [/spoiler:04c86110ad]

I liked the finale then, but it didn't grab me that much. Although I was pretty excited to see what was behind the warden's door. I'd rather see what happens in S2 of Terra Nova than S2 of this though.

Will there be a second season? If not, I'm not gonna bother to catch up. The show didn't do much for me, to be honest.

I'm not sure, I think it might have got cancelled :S

It's still up in the air at the moment. They do seem to have jumped the gun by cancelling Terra Nova, which was getting better ratings than Alcatraz by the end, although perhaps it was just expenses because they shoot in Australia.

It was due to expenses, I think because of all the CGI/equipment etc. Now because Fox cancelled TN, Fringe has a better chance of coming back but I don't watch that. Expenses was definitely part of the reason though :\

I'm getting the feeling Fringe will be renewed regardless of ratings as they get really good dvd sales. Alcatraz is probably going to be canned.

Apparently Fringe hasn't been doing very well, yet it still is popular in DVD sales like you said. But still, I would rather TN come back than Fringe or Alcatraz. They didn't even wait to see how well it would do in the DVD sales ._.

I know, right? Who doesn't love dinosaurs and sci fi? I bet it will do pretty well.

Me too!
Admittedly, I never watched Fringe but Alcatraz just wasn't my cup of tea. TN still had a lot of potential though, imo.
