I sent a Tweet to Ian Anthony Dale (Simon) last night and asked if they shot an alternate ending if the show got canned. I haven't been able to get on Twitter yet to see if he responded or not.

UPDATE: No surprise there - NBC has pulled the plug on the low-rated sci-fi drama The Event, which started off strongly but quickly fizzled. But there is a twist, and it's not only the big surprise planned by the producers for the finale. Talks are underway with at least one distribution partner to take over the serialized drama. The Event executive producer Steve Stark wouldn't comment, but I hear new original programming player Netflix's name tossed around. Word is that there has been interest from several cable and digital entities. Stark said that they are exploring the opportunities with are exploring the opportunity with the "full support" of the studio, UMS. "NBC has been an amazing partner, it launched the show beautifully," he said. Added creator Nick Wauters: "We have a dedicated fan base, and we promised them we will deliver one way or another and will continue to tell our stories."

Interesting. As far as cable goes, I wonder what channel would take this. SyFy would be the obvious choice, but they are owned by NBC and just cancelled 2 dramas (SGU and Caprica)
I would just about ready to accept that it's done, but now Stark is giving me hope again.

The Event was the aliens landing on Earth all those years ago.
That was why everyone was worried about the president telling the world about "the event" in the first episode of the series

Nah, that wasn't "The Event" it was going to be much bigger. Either more aliens coming to Earth, the battle between the Aliens and Humans, the extinction-level event of the new flu, or the victory of either side was going to be "The Event."
Would like to see this as a shorter series on Netflix or another channel, would be good to continue IMO.

I don't know if you guys are being serious, but I went over to the NBC message boards where the die-hard EVENT fans hang out, and even they don't know what "the Event" is.
I don't think we've seen it yet.

I was sort of under the impression that "the event" was the aliens, and everything they're doing, from their initial arrival in 1944 up to, and including, the everything that happens in the series.

Well in the pre-season promos, they broach that nothing we've seen yet is "the Event," even the simple discovery of the aliens.

My guess is it would be the opening of the portal to their world and the invasion.
