Holy crap!

Just finished watching The Event on DVD. In the end, I'm was very disappointed that it got cancelled
They transported the whole bloody planet - holy crap and, final scene of all, Christina is a sleeper after all! Holy crap!
It's just such shame that this and FlashForward appeared in the same season and both made such use of the multiple parallel flashback mechanism early in their storylines. I'm sure both suffered by comparison with the other and, unfortunately, I think, competed for very similar audiences. Sadly, both were cancelled and both finished their only seasons ten times better than when they first started. Equally sadly, the audiences for both had evaporated by that time. Had they achieved that quality when they first started, I think we would now be watching Season 2 of possibly both shows.
