So, when they told the writers that they were canceling the show, giving them time to wrap up story lines for the finale -- THIS is how they did it? Granted, I knew that they'd already decided not to use the same set up as the original (something about giving themselves more room for multiple seasons *snort*) but this is ridiculous. I'm glad I didn't invest any of my time in the US version of this show.

(still, there's something marvelously fitting about this -- an unnecessary remake gives itself an unnecessarily overwrought and ludicrous finale? yeah)
