I know I'm in the minority here but I enjoyed the show and I'm glad to finally be able to see the last to episodes.

So I gave up after the first 4. Did ABC not even air the final two episodes?

So does that mean ABC didn't air the final two eps?
I had the show set on a season pass, but I've been too lazy to check my DVR to see if they have.

Nope, the ratings kept getting crappier so they pulled it again after the 6th episode. The only way to watch the last two is by watching them online.

For crap sake, it was only 8 episodes! So ABC is telling me that every hour of their fine programming schedule is so fantastic they couldn't find time to burn off the last two eps?!?!?

Thanks for the heads up. Finally get to see how it ends.
Unbelievable that they couldn't burn these two episodes off sometime during the summer.

Do other networks smoke as big a pole as ABC when it comes to just yanking things, with no regard to actually resolving shows (especially ones that only have one or two episodes to go). It seems they do this often, and never even have sensible replacements for the shows that yank, thus making the decision baffling.
i would have liked to see how this ended, and have poor people dial up, so won't be watching online. didnt think enough of it to spend on dvds if they came out, unless they were under ten bucks so i guess i will never know.
I guess ABC stands for Anything But Closure.

Can somebody who's seen the final eps please post a summary of the ending (spoiled of course)? Thanks.

Even though the show was getting "burned off" this summer. I think the network still needs to sell advertiser spots to be able to air it on television. This is just an assumption, but I assume that the advertisers pulled out because of the awful ratings. The weird thing about this is ABC is airing 2 random unaired episodes of Eastwick and The Forgotten on July 3rd and 10th, which are Saturday's. Why couldn't they have done the same for this?

For those who have watched these last episodes online, do they provide any sort of acceptable closure on anything? And without giving any spoilers, do they at least reveal who the Magic Man is? I have the last two aired episodes sitting on my DVR and I'm trying to decide if it's worth watching those plus the two online.

It is for sure a WTF revelation that raises a host of new questions -- I can say no more w/o spoiling it.
Whether you will be dazzled or scratch your head and say "WTF" is more debatable.

Gotta love international viewing laws. I can view it no problem on my TV here in Canada but on the WORLD WIDE WEB i can't (key word : WORLD!)
Awesome.

I assume your being sarcastic about not being able to watch it on Hulu since it's blocked off to international audiences. Blame CTV, CBC or Global for not picking up the last 2 episodes.

This show ended so stupidly I thought the creators of this show knew it was only going to be 8 episodes, so why are there so many plot holes left at the end?

A perfect end to this show. An ending that nobody saw coming because they never really bothered to set clues that ever made any sense. The show was more about scratching suspects off the list than it was making a plausible case against who they eventually picked.
As for what the producers had control over, this show was originally picked up for 13 episodes, then the order got cut down to 8. Makes it hard to wrap everything up in a bow.

I think an earlier episode mentioned she was dead, without details. That took her off my suspect list. Damn zombies.
Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot, GGGGOOOOAAAALLLL.
Who saw that crazy ending coming. I believe it is fair to say I WON'T be buying the DVD to study the previous clues further.
