Could someone let me know


how this series ends?

What happens with Jack, Sam, Martin, etc.

Thanks for filling me in.

What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.

Jack continues to work on his relationship with his daughter. The daughter will continue to live with him.

Samantha and Jack were dating, I guess. Remember he is Samantha's boss but that didn't matter to the writiers. The last episode they have a mutual break up that generated about as much interest as watching paint dry. absolutely no chemistry or emotion at all.

Jack wants to continue to get close to his daughter, while Samantha wanted to make a family with her one night stand and her kid, Finn. Samantha wanted to be with Brian rather than Jack.

Martin and Viv had no personal storylines to wrap up.

Danny and Elena marry each other (off screen).

That's about it. It was a very poor, uneventful ending to the series. You didn't miss anything compelling. These characters were great the first few seasons and the last few seasons they became unrecognizeable and unlikeable (*particularly Jack and Samantha. Especially those too.)

kdf31, that sums it up very well!!

yea, sadly, alpfanatic that does sum up this once great show!

It appears that none of the actors have done much since the show ended (ALP is the exception). A few guest starring roles but nothing too substantive.

I wonder if their careers are in trouble? Would the cast be deemed has beens already? I'm sure its fiercely competitive for roles...........

Maybe they don't need to work another day in their lives because they're so rich.

I'm not sure, but they likely live in million dollar homes. Unless their homes are paid off, I bet their mortgages are thousands of dollars every month.
I think they all will eventually need to work.
Even with syndication, the money won't last forever.

Plus, none of them have endorsement deals..

The ridiculous arguementative part of me wants to debate you over this, but I think that would be pointless since neither of us have any idea what we're talking about, lol.

For sure, I'm totally speculating. Maybe the cast members are independently wealthy due to the show. I don't know for sure. Have a good Halloween.

Yes, ALP has been busy. Eric has done a few things, mainly TV movies, and has a CBS show that may be picked up for midseason. Marianne has done Shakespeare in New York ths summer and has been in a couple movies. She has just signed for another movie.

Haven't heard anything from Roslyn. Enrique seems happy to rest on the beach and follow Lily Cole around the world. Lucky him!

Amost forgot Poppy. Haven't heard much from her either. Maybe she is just enjoying motherhood.

reply

Enrique is also filming a movie right now...in Georgia, I think. So he is working, but he really doesn't have to. He just acts because he enjoys it. He's from a very wealthy family.

reply

Well the show is in syndication so they get paid very well for that, but i would love for all of these actors to find steady jobs..especially ALP..but I have a special place in my heart for Eric Close, and I think he would be great on another cop show or something else interesting. I wouldn't mind a "Without a Trace" tv movie giving them a better wrap up storyline...the same goes for my other show I loved that ended crappy "Cold Case"..there really was no closure for this show and/or the characters...

reply

In case you missed it, Eric is signed for a new CBS show "Chaos". It is tentatively scheduled for a midseason replacement.
