...And this is how NBC would've left us: With A "series finale" and a "To be Continued" if CBS hadn't picked up the series they've produced. I would've been momentarily trumatized for life like I was with Journeyman, with nothing but speculation and "save our show" campgains to monitor on blogs or wordpress sites. Their evil truly knows no bounds (Proceeds to sharpen her knife).
THIS. That was all I could think of during the closing moments. I was like, wow. They were gonna leave us hanging. BASTARDS.
I thought this episode had much more gravitas than usual, and it really cut me to the core. Particularly Allison's dream!grief, and the murder of that police officer. I couldn't stop thinking about how horrible it was. Especially since it seemed obvious that the poor man probably wasn't 100% dead while he was being cut up. *shudder* And his poor family! I admit it, I teared up.
At the end I was so afraid it was going to be another one of those times Devalos wasn't willing to believe Allison because (a) she was obviously very sick, and he's given less concrete reasons not to believe her dreams before; and (b) the suspect was an FBI agent whom Devalos already trusted. But thank GOODNESS they didn't go that route, because that would have been just too much to bear. By then I knew it would end with Allison in limbo. The question was whether the case would be solved first. The very, very important case that needed to be solved or else the Dubois family would probably be massacred. o.O Like I said, gravitas.
Anyway I am at least grateful Castillo was caught and the Duboises saved. Now of course we have to worry about Allison. I've no doubt she'll wake up eventually. But I have a feeling her dreams will be gone. :/ I have many quibbles with that, the main one being that the entire premise of the show is then rendered moot (though I'm sure she gets it back eventually, or else seriously, the show is pointless). Also, though, it bothers me that it seems we are meant to believe her dreams stem from the fact that she has a brain tumor. Allison's dreams are supposed to be a gift, and one she's had since she was little, as do her daughters. It doesn't work that way. I want to see how they explain Allison losing her 'sight' if they decide to go that route. Maybe they'll go with something like 'the tumor messed with suchandsuch receptor blahblahblah.' It still bothers me though. I think Allison's gift needs to be the constant. Let other things around her change, but not that.
lol apparently I cared a lot more than I thought I did about this episode. ^_^
