I found the ending a great disappointment. I watched the entire mini-series so I could present and honest opinion and was clinging to hope the way a long shot thoroughbred might stride to victory in Kentucky that this would wind up a winner but not a chance. Despite the presence of Sir Ian and the always awesome James Caviezel, as well as the beautiful Haley Atwell and Ruth Wilson, and some other well acted roles, the story drifted away from the coolness of the original (that 60's cool will never be equaled) and fell into a convoluted hole as deep as the holes in the Village itself and those holes were never fully explained. In fact, much of the elements of the story weren't explained and the climax, culminating in Ian's demise in the fashion it did, as well as the not very acceptable explanation of the towers, Ian's wife, kid and last shot and dialog of James and Ruth were even more disappointing and vague. And what of the underground world that Ian's son hung out in, that made absolutely no sense, with no reason or rhyme as to why it was there and those pills were never fully explained nor where 147's child or Haley went to down the hole (maybe to visit the new Alice coming out later this year). The whole thing wound up being a big let down and it could have been so amazing. This was just a series of links to a chain that weren't completely attached. Long live the original.
