I think the "parents" are a cover-up sent by the company.
Ditto. I don't buy that those are his parents for a second. Definitely a company cover-up.

From: Capitol of the Empire! Center of all Commerce and Culture! Crossroads of Civilization! NEW ROME!!!...aka New York City
Spoiler:
Kyle is what appears to be a 16 year old boy who wandered out of the woods in Washington naked one day with absolutly no memories, unable to speak, or understand what anyone was sying. He was arrested and taken to a group home, but his inability to understand anything got him in trouble with the more hard-core kids. His bleeding heart therapist took him home as a foster child.
During the course of the show he quickly learns how to speak, eat, read, and basicall everything an infant learns, but in a matter of days.
He's also unique in that he has no navel, has a super-genius level aptitude with math, and has highly enhanced physical abilities. He draws photographic quality pictures from memory, pixel-by-pixel, and is a whiz with computers.
Since it is an ABCFamily show, he also learns hard lessons about lying, sex, drinking, relationships, blah, blah, blah.
The guy who played Krychezk from the X-files is mysteriously following him around and bugs his foster house for sound and video.

Through hypnosis and flachbacks Kyle remembers how he got into the woods, and sees the Krychezk guy kill a man, who's body is found near the spot where Kyle 'wokeup' We later learn that this man is a Professor at U of Washington, and Kyle visits there. The Prof was working an enhansing the human mind but no one from his staff recognizes Kyle. Kyle sees a picture from 1985 of teh Professor and a man who is the spitting image of Kyle, but disappeared 20 years before. In the mans notes, Kyle sees coordinates for a location in the woods, the same coordinates Kyle has repeated under hypnosis and he goes there. The Krychezk guy stops him and warns him that if he returns to the location, they will kill him and his new family, and to stop asking questions.
The 'company' that occupies the location in the woods catches Kyle on camera and finds out he's alive. We learn thet the Krychezk guy was supposed to kill Kyle when he worked for teh company, but instead let him free and quit. Now another security employee is sent to kill Kyle and his 'origional parents' show up in the last cliffhanger.

It is perhaps the most family friendly, wholesome sci-fi/mystery on tv, but it also tackles teen sex and family problems in a somewhat realistic manner.

Great season finale. I cried. I was on the edge of my seat. It left me wanting to see what happens next. Can't wait until next year!

Anyone else remember in the pilot a newscast in the background mentioning a girl who was found naked with no memory wandering around just like Kyle? Like he had a female counterpart. I assumed they were going to delve into that before the 1st season ended, guess not.

Speaking of unused plots, does anyone remember when Lori came into Kyle's room and saw the symbol he drew? It looked as if Lori knew something about the symbol but the season never continued that aspect.

In all regards, for it's shortcomings, I really did enjoy this summer series and can't wait to see the second season. I can't wait to see if Declan gets the gang together for Kyle.

As opposed to .... a good twin?

Comedy hijynx ensues as two of kind get into trouble .... Brother, Brother / The Parent Trap - Clone Wars / Patty Duke 2k.

Plot becomes somewhat irrelevant as long as the writing is good. The whole premise of this show is kind of idiotic, but the writing and performances lift it out of mediocrity.

When the show fiirst started, a lot of people I know just rolled their eyes and said "How could this possibly be good?". I guess the same thing could be said about an evil twin ;-P

Yes, I forgot about that. It did say XX.

This could get a little weird, when Declan falls for Kylie XX

SO....

What did you guys think of the season 2 Premiere. I thought it was great, especially that he gets to go back to the Tragers. What do you guys think?

I was willing to put up with the bad acting last season because it was fun and the writing was tolerable. The 2nd season premiere was horrible. The writing reminded me a lot of The 4400 2nd season. Ridiculous plot mechanics skimmed over so the audience doesn't have time to ask why. Very little of what happened made any sense. The crappy writing kept pulling me out of the show to ask ... WTF?

What really bothered me was the false emotion radiated from all the characters. Is Decklan in love with Kyle. WTF? Why was he "missing him"? Through most of last season they weren't even friends. I just couldn't buy any of it.

I will watch a few more in hopes the show was just having trouble resolving last seasons plot. Bad acting is only tolerable when there is good writing.
