    Yeah, they seemed way out of whack. Why would you completely ignore the cliffhanger that ended the first half of the season (until last night's episode)? Last week's episode was ok. Since the original run for LoM was only supposed to go 13 episodes I'm guessing it was a newer episode ABC ordered to fill out the season...aka Filler.
    Yeah, I'm wondering if it was ABC's idea to air them in that order (like NBC did with Scrubs last year). Last week's episode didn't touch on the time travel stuff much, and seemed like it was meant to appeal more to new viewers tuning in for the first time after the hiatus. From the preview, it looks like next week's episode goes back to that plotline, so I think these two episodes were out of order. Took me a couple minutes to straighten things out but then I was okay. I had wondered why last weeks episode didn't address the cliffhanger at all, because I was really excited about that.

    I hope this show lasts beyond this season because I am really enjoying it.

      ABC has canceled the show according to this:

      That's sad, another show I enjoyed gets the ax. Luckily ABC is letting production continue at least enough to give the show closure.

        I was too lazy to turn after Lost a couple of times and caught this show. Seemed alright, guess it wasn't too popular lol.

          I'm not too surprised. I was starting to get the feeling that the show wasn't going to make it to season two... I love it, but it's probably a little too quirky for most.

          At least there will be a conclusion, though.

            Dang, I had really gotten into this series...but I am glad they are going to give it closure though, better than stopping without an ending.

                I missed a good portion of the show. I think once the reruns start again, I'll DVR them.

                  I'm still following, it's sad to see it end because this has been one of my favorite shows.

                        Yeah, I was going to say, don't expect any reruns. It is going to be on DVD though.

                          Yup, DVD releases in September. I received the press release from their PR.

                            Wow, ended much differently than I thought. I can't really decide if I liked the ending or not, I mean I sort of liked it but it just really suprised me. There were plenty of hints during the 2 seasons that gave you a clue to how it would end, but I never really gathered that those would be hints to the end of the series.

                            Well, it was a great show while it lasted.

                              I did not like the ending at all... I wish it had just ended with him hanging up the phone and staying in '73.

                                The more that I think about it, the more I don't really like how it ended. It was just a bad ending, I'm not sure how to describe it. I guess I'll put how I wish it ended in spoilers just in case someone who hasn't seen it looks in here...
