Containment Boss Previews Series Finale Battle, Promises 'Good Closure' 

 is coming to an end, the cancelled CW drama still has some fight left in it. Or at least its headstrong, virus-afflicted characters do.

Tuesday’s unintentional series finale (airing at 9/8c) — the episode was filmed in December, five months before the axe came down — is “the culmination of the conflict between Lex and Lommers,” executive producer Julie Plec previews. “[It’s about] her role in the conspiracy, his feelings about it, and their disparate notions about how far they need to go to protect the people inside the cordon.”

While Lommers is “going to great lengths to prevent anybody from escaping” the quarantined area, “Jana, Suzy, Quentin, Teresa and Xander are very intent on getting out,” the EP continues. “So there’s going to be something that has to give, or people are going to end up killed.”

As “the outside and inside stories collide,” Plec says the final hour will provide as much wrap-up “as a show that wasn’t expecting to end this way can. It, thankfully, has a very emotional ending that brings a lot of the stories to a place where they were going to live for quite some time if the series were to move forward.

“It doesn’t feel like you’re robbed of an experience,” she adds. “It just feels like it would be nice if you could stick around and watch these people live their lives a while longer.” Despite a few untied-up plot threads, there is “good closure, and it should be a fairly satisfying viewing experience.”

This show finally got pretty good 6 or 7 episodes in. Such a shame that it’s canceled. :(

CW really screwed up with this cancelation! This show was absolutely amazing!

I still don’t fully understand what happened here. It was always billed as a”limited series event”, no? As a (tv) ley person, that makes me think it’s one and done, anyway. Why the uproar over the cancellation?

It was not originally intended as a limited series by the creative team.

They should have thought of that considering the Belgian source material is a miniseries.

That’s news to me that it was a limited series event… never once saw them advertise it as such. It was a great series and I think they are making a is take by cackling it do soon.

i think it was never meant to ever have a full series, but always be a short series, but instead of it being a short series every year it turned into a limited series

I just saw the last episode (as been presented in Canada)! As Plec said, it’s a good closure and an emotinnal one. It’s seems a bit rushed, but I’m 90% satisfied.

I’m still an emotional wreck from the past two episodes. I haven’t cried so much over a tv show in years. Really bummed that we won’t have total closure, but I guess I’ll take what I can get. I don’t want to say goodbye to these characters! (especially Jake)

Why is it that every show on TV thst is somewhat a sci-fi series gets cancelled. When are the network idiots going to learn that most people who like this stuff don’t watch it on traditional TV or websites like CW.com or hulu. The numbers are far higher than they believe. It was the same with Jericho a few years ago. Most followers watched online.

The thing that didn’t set right with me is having Claudia Black with blond-ish hair. Doesn’t set right to me.

As much as the last two episodes made me cry, I’m sure this one will as well. I was highly anticipating this series, and it delivered. I’m sad that it was canceled. I feel it was a good fit for The CW.

While there was some closure, I didn’t actually think it was good closure. It still left you wondering about what happens.

I agree. I think they just want to leave us with a small bit of hope that things are getting better. However, I think Katie’s death really affected the show in my opinion. While I would’ve liked another season, I’m glad it ended because I’m not sure how much brooding and heartache I can take from Jake.
