I'm not going to spoil this episode for anyone, but I'll tell you a story...
Ten years ago, I knew that the last episode of the season was going to be shown and I asked my mom if I could watch the show on her brand new 32" TV set, she said that'd be fine, even though she had never watched the show. Fortunately the opening titles did an excellent job of explaining the premise of the show, and I really didn't need to explain much of the show other than the main character had been trying to find out what was going on and who were behind this conspiracy the entire run of the show.
The show proceeded and at the end my jaw was on the floor and my mom said "That has to be the most intense hour of dramatic TV I've ever seen!". I replied, "The sad thing is I hear it has not been renewed."... She after seeing many excellent TV series cancelled wasn't particularly surprised, but she was as disappointed as I was.
Two things I can guarentee about the last episode... It's well worth watching, and it'll likely _really_ p!$$ you off that UPN canceled the show. Some 10 years later, it still p!$$es me off that UPN killed it. It remains the second highest rated show (After ST: Voyager) to ever air on UPN.
(In fact, after UPN cancelled Enterprise (just as it was hitting it's stride) I have _zero_ reason to watch UPN and wouldn't care if they closed shop. It's a shame network TV executives are always so quick to cancel a show and replace it with something that'll get a fraction of the ratings, then replace it with another show which get's a fraction of the second show's ratings, etc., but never bring back the first show.)
If I say anything more about Nowhere Man's final episode, I'll likely spoil the episode, perhaps even the entire series, for you. So I won't.
Fair enough?
