They've got a lot of wrapping up to do in the final episode on Thu.! Maybe it'll be a 2hr one?

Just checked...it's only an hour. The online guide says "Season one ends with...". Season one? They billed this as a stand alone event. The ratings aren't over the roof, either,

Well, we all know what we're going to see Thursday, then. It's called a "cliffhanger".

I don't mind if I only have to wait till next week, but I hate the season enders! And it's standard, now. Every does it!

I know. We're expected to remember all this twisty-turn stuff for a year. I sometimes forget how to open my garage door from day to day.

Opinions on episode 10? It had some twists and a good amount of action. The ending was out of left field IMO and it did set it up for a second season. Alas,no second season coming. It just didn't have the following though it could be possible to be picked up by a smaller network. Still,a decent series where the finale was abrupt and left me thinking" I watched all 10 hrs for THIS?"

I liked the finale for the same reasons WL mentioned. I'm glad they're not dragging this out. "Bates Motel" needs to find an ending...quick.

If that really is the end, it stinks! I watched all that just to see the good guys die, or get frozen and the "Hitler youth" take over the town?! Bummer.

At least the hungry monsters got fed (or shot). If you thought this ending was downbeat, don't ever watch "The Mist".

Yeah. It was a brutal ending, but I didn't feel cheated like I did with WP. May be the difference between a movie and a series?

Yep, I guess you feel you're owed more after investing two & a half months into something. This is based on a book, right? Maybe that's just how the book ended.

Not according to this guy.

"At the end of the three book series it is discovered that there is not enough food left for them to survive that much longer anyway. The 'good guys' have taken over by this time (after the creatures went through town killing everyone yada yada. So they decide to all go into hybernation hoping to wake up when there's more of a possibility to survive! "
