Did Threshold have a final episode?

There was alway the feeling that this show was missing something. Not sure what... but I don't care enough to watch any more episodes. Unless, of course, Braga wrote a scene where Dr. Phlox instructs Carla Gugino to disrobe and rub decontamination gel all over Brent Spiner until he gets an erection (like Connor Trineer did in Enterprise). Then, I might consider it...

All I know is the first seaso nwas gonig to be called Threshold, then the second would be Foothold, and then finally the aliens take over. The whole plan was iffy. The show was very bad X-Files and Odssey 5 ripoff that was just the same old thing every week.

SPOILERS FOR THE LAST EPISODE WITHIN THIS POST, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

Having seen the finale, "slapstick comedy" wasn't what I thought of it necessarily. An entire town gets the alien infection, so there's moments, but... that's really a misnomer.

As for the wrapup to the show, it basically amounts to Caffrey having a dream sequence in which she talks to the infectee who got pregnant's kid when he's around 8 years old or so, and he tells her the eventual outcome of her fight. From what I recall of the commentary on the DVD, that's really all they had time to do for a wrapup was to do that one scene.

Final, as in there were no more to follow? Yes. Final, as in they were able to wrap up the series? No, not hardly. Goyer and Braga talk about this some in the special features on the DVD set, but they basically had finished shooting the last episode when they got word the show was cancelled. They added a scene at the very end that offers a glimpse of things to come, of resolution.

The show wasn't perfect. I could never quite shake the feeling that it might have been better suited as as a late-night syndicated program (sort of the way that shows like "Forever Knight" started out). But then it probably wouldn't have attracted its terrific cast. And, of the three alien invasion shows of 2005, though it was the first to go, I think it was the best.
