  • The End?

    3.0
    Have to completly agree with most of You. The worst ending ever. Would be great as a season end but it's completly inaccurate as a series final. Nothing finished and we don't know what will happen next. Maybe the station leave opportunity to continue but until this happen this is the worst series final which I ever saw.
  • de ending

    4.0
    It has de worst ending ever, now how do we know wat happens next?
  • What a rip! how can that be the end? That's like ending Farscape with "to be continued". It just aint right. They so better do a movie. Let's here it people : We want a movie! We want a movie! Please :)moreless

    I cant believe they would end the serious like that. It wasnt even one of their best episodes. Amanda annoys me. I always wanted Kyle to be with Jessie. Not just because Adam & Sarah were, or because they are the same but it just seems right to me. Jessie brings out a different and better Kyle. If he stayed with Amanda he'd just be a pansy his whole life. I'm so glad we got to see Cassidy get even just a little beat down. He was such an arrogant ass. The main reason this episode sucks as a finally is hello all the unanswered question it itsef raises. Why did they do that. surely they knew it was goin to end the could he tried to wrap it up in a nice little bundle. It's just so mean. We want a finale movie!!moreless
  • A season finale posing as a series finale, not good! Well this stinks.

    4.5
    I can understand ending a show, they all do, however, ending a show in this manner is just not right. If this was the end of season, the cliff hanger was masterful, impending battles between Jessi and Amanda, Kyle and Nate, Cassidy, Cassidy's mom, oh let's just say it, next season was going to be WAR!!! I want the war and I'm pissed I will not get it.



    This episode started ok with the usual dose of teen angst. Josh and Andy's sorrow, Kyle's jealousy about Amanda, Jessi pining over Kyle. After the angst portion of the evening, we move into the Nicole worry segment and the Stephen bonding portion. Let's not forget Jessi and Lori making peace (yes, Jessi in red was very hot).



    Onto the intrigue. Jessi trying to bust Cassidy's safe, Amanda finding Adams notes in Nate's room, Declan and Kyle break into Cassidy's apartment, Jessi and Amanda steal the files from Nate. Finally Kyle poisoning the growth formula he was tricked into developing.



    Now the end, Amanda challenges Jessi, Kyle and Cassidy face off,and for the close we learn that Cassidy is Kyle's brother!



    It was fabulous for a season finale, great cliffhangers, I'm already salivating for next season. Oh wait, there is no next season! ABC Family=DUMASS.moreless

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (2)

    • Supposedly, Declan walks Andy through setting up a webcam using her car's navigation system.

      1.) GPS systems don't connect to the internet. They connect to a network of satellites that can deliver latitude and longitude, nothing more.
      2.) No currently existing navigation system has the software necessary to communicate with a webcam.
      3.) Even if somehow they were able to set up this link, there is no way that the picture quality would have looked near-broadcast quality at that frame rate.

    • There are a number of issues with the scene where Kyle swaps out the hard drive:

      1.) The computer he swapped the drive out was not in a server form-factor. While technically any computer can function as a server, it's hard to believe that an organization with resources like Latnok would use a regular desktop for a server, even an isolated one as Kyle describes.
      2.) Given the kinds of simulation and scientific analysis taking place, a computer that size does not have the processing or storage capacity to provide adequate performance to Latnok.
      3.) Cassidy's computer started to flicker when Kyle replaced the hard drive. If a server is brought down, the computers connected to it may generate an error message, but won't flicker a display since the server doesn't directly control what the computers display.
      4.) Servers generally have one drive where the system information is stored, and one or more drives where users put their documents. If Kyle removed the system drive, then how did he manage to get a complete copy of everything on the drive such that no one at Latnok would notice, how did he swap them without restarting, and why was the data in question on the system drive in the first place? If it was the data drive, then why did it generate a system error for Cassidy's computer?
      5.) Data drives on servers are usually set up in a "RAID" array to harden the system against disk failure. This system is designed so that if one disk is removed, the data on it can still be recovered using information from the others. Kyle would have had to remove multiple drives in order to truly destroy the data.

  • QUOTES (7)

    • Amanda: Look, I know we've never really gotten along, but, I don't know, I feel like we might be a little bit closer than before. So, I think it's only fair that I tell you...
      Jessi: Tell me what?
      Amanda: I'm gonna tell Kyle that I want him back.
      Jessi: You really have the nerve to say that? After everything that happened tonight?
      Amanda: Like I said, fair warning. You deserve it.
      Jessi: You're a lot braver than I thought.

    • Nicole: I can't help wishing you'd just taken him up on his offer of freedom.
      Kyle: Nicole, they're restarting the experiment. They're playing God! And if Cassidy's any indication of the kind of people they are, I don't want them to have that power.
      Nicole: I understand. I do, but the deeper in you go, the more it's changing you.
      Kyle: Changing me?
      Nicole: You faked Jessi's death. You're lying. You're sneaking around, breaking laws. This just– this isn't you. At least it's not who you used to be.

    • Jessi: Look, unfortunately, you're going to have to do it.
      Amanda: Do what? Break into his room and steal his files?
      Jessi: I was thinking firebomb, but okay.

    • Kyle: If I'm special, it's not because of how I came into this world, it's what happened to me once I was in it. You took me in. You loved me like I was one of your own children. Having you in my life, that's what makes me special! But this, what they're planning, it's robbing someone of their childhood, of their connection to a mother, a family. I can't allow that!

    • Kyle: I needed to burn Adam's journals to erase his records of the experiment. But I knew I was also burning the only real connection I had to the man who had given me life, and the way he had given it.

    • Kyle: How is it possible to feel electricity for one person and butterflies for another?

    • Nicole: Josh is still asleep but I talked to Lori about what's going on.
      Kyle: I'll finish getting dressed and I'll be right out. (Nicole looks at Jessi)
      Jessi: I'll be in the other room pretending to be dead.
