John Doe

[kathrynlynne]

Does anyone out there really know what happened in John Doe and if they do please tell me.

Highlight to read (if I've done it correctly). Persinally, I think that it sounds like it would have been a let down:

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com)

FOX Entertainment President Gail Berman offered up the story Thursday (July 17) following her Q-and-A session at the TV Critics Association press tour. The series, which starred Dominic Purcell as a man who knew everything about the world but not his own identity, built a fairly complex mythology over last season but not a big enough audience to be renewed.

Central to the story was a question of who or what Doe was. Popular assumptions included that the was some kind of cyborg or alien or a man who had been subjected to some sort of government experiment.

None of those are true, according to Berman, who discussed "Doe's" underlying premise with creators Brandon Camp and Mike Thompson. She says Doe was just a regular guy. Now, here comes the big revelation:

"[According to the show], when you're very close to death, when you're seeing the white light, God or a higher being gives you all the information of life to carry on to the next life," Berman says. Doe was about to die, but for whatever reason -- Berman didn't say why Thursday -- he lived after being imparted with that knowledge.

The shadowy people who were after Doe knew what happened to him and were trying to keep him from discovering it himself, Berman says.

lemarchand no you havn't done it correctly !! please do it again so i can find out -pretty please ? this is another series that they pulled the plug on leaving us high and dry, i watched it from the first episode right up to the last one .where i recall they were escaping from somewhere through some tunnels and the baddie he was chasing turned when he was on the ladder and it was his friend Digger who ran the bar

Looks OK to me (apart from the typo in "personally").

Anyway, I had to edit the text to fit it into the length limit having copied it from a post I made elsewhere - for the full text, see the fourth post down here: http://www.futurenoir.com/viewtopic.php?t=1684 .

No explanation about Digger, though.

A friend told me, that it wasn't Digger, he had read on a fan site that if you run in slow motion it's another man, and then Digger comes.
Lemarchand I hadn't expected that!
Glenis how right you are! Farscape and Firefly for example, some of my favourites and they just get cancelled!

[LeMarchand]

At least both "Farscape" (with "The Peacekeeper Wars" mini-series - well worth buying the DVD) and "Firefly" with the upcoming "Serenity" (check out the amazing trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/serenity/ ) got a chance to "wrap up". Unlike "Odyssey 5", "Now and Again" and many more...

That is so true Lemarchand, I thought the "Peacekeeper Wars" was an excellent ending, and I can't wait for Serenity. I haven't seen the others you're talking about, I guess in some wierd way it's lucky :0)
