[TV] Persons Unknown [spoiler]

[Vyvyan Basterd]

Did anyone else subject themselves to this show? I know everyone's going to drop by and tell me I was a fool for believing NBC when they said "all will be revealed by the end of summer." I should have learned my lesson aftr 6 years of Lost. But, by comparison, I feel the end of Lost answered the meaning of life and the universe. Persons Unknown didn't answer a damn thing!

Why were these particular people abducted?
What is the Program?
How do they have cameras everywhere?
How do dead people apparently come back to life?
How did the truck turn back after the first escape?
How did they all end up right back where they started...except most on a ship?

WHY DID I KEEP WATCHING THIS SHOW?!?

They ended this "miniseries" like you would end a first-season cliffhanger.

Yeah, the end-of-season reveal was anti-climactic. Though I doubt the show will be picked up for a second season, there's no way I'll be watching it.

I ditched Lost about halfway through the 1st season...Persons Unknown had my attention for 3 episodes (and Dollhouse was ditched after the premier, FWIW).

By way of contrast, I've been addicted to the British sci/fant series that have popped up on BBC America the past couple of years- Primeval, Being Human, Survivors and Apparitions, to name a few.

The Brits have been blowing away American sci/fant shows for a while now... Heck, we can't even sustain copies of their shows over here (like Life on Mars or Ashes to Ashes).

C'mon, Hollywood- get it together!

Persons Unknown had a cop-out, hope-we-get-a-second-season ending that didn't explain much, except in maybe very broad strokes (it's a big old giant secret conspiracy, and has all the attributes those things normally do -- vast, nigh-all knowing, etc.).

Lost was very entertaining, and Dollhouse had one of my all-time favorite finales, and turned into an actual science fiction show in the second season (as opposed to a drama with SF trappings, which is what most SF shows really are).
