A little over a week ago I watched the finale of Season 1 of
The Event. Unfortunately, it was also the series finale.
The Event has been canceled after only one season. Do you know what it feels like to watch the first season finale of a show you really, really love when you already know that the show has been axed? I think it might be a bit like the way you would feel if you watched the dinosaurs go extinct. Or maybe, if you stood at the Grey Havens and watched the last ship sail into the West knowing the elves were gone from Middle Earth and they were never, ever, EVER coming back. OK, the analogies aren't perfect. I mean, both the dinosaurs and the elves were around for more than one year. As sad as it is, I have to admit that I can understand why NBC chose to cancel it considering the below chart showing the shows ratings. Can you say nosedive?
However, in spite of all of this sadness there is one very slight ray of hope. According to
this article, the creators of the show are looking for a way to possibly keep the show going on a cable network or through a service like Netflix. I really have no idea what kind of chances something like that has so, though I will keep my eyes open I shan't be holding my breath.
Anyway, this show was good. I really think it could have even been great had it been given a chance. The show reminded me a lot of
LOST in terms of the story telling and level of complexity. I guess that's probably why I liked it so much. Interestingly enough, the season finale turned series finale of
The Event occurred on the one year anniversary of the
LOST series finale. I know; I'm a nerd for knowing that. So, I must bid farewell to
The Event. Hopefully, the efforts to keep it going will succeed. If they do you can bet I will be watching.
Oh yeah, and ABC canceled
V as well. Grrr!
