And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Aieeee! Stupid freaking formatting, I deleted immediately, I hope no one saw it. Bah. Reposting and won't get fancy this time.
Interview with the creator: [link]
Another blog entry [link] where I ganked the following quote:
While someone else realised that Sam didn’t return to 1973 just for Annie.
He went back, of course, for The Jacket.

I'm really, really, really sorry about that.

It's no problem for me, Nora, since I've seen it. And I generally disagree with you and Jon and ita on the whole thing, but I don't really have anything new to say about it. *g*

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I generally disagree with you and Jon and ita on the whole thing,
Really? Because I disagree with Jon and Nora. I think I missed your stance.

Maybe I disagree with everyone.
Though I thought the finale fell just short of being perfect, I loved the ambiguity, and I have a very hard time looking at it as simply "Sam woke up, was too messed up to go on, and killed himself." The creators claim that they never intended it to be ambiguous about whether he was actually mad, in a coma, or back in time, but I think the show itself never really answered that question, and I much prefer it that way.
I am dubious about the spinoff, but we'll see.

I see. You do disagree with us all.
Hmm.
You see the ending as ambiguous--the three choices not ruled out being the ones you noted? Coma, crazy, actual time traveller?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'm not sure how that works in my brain, but it does.
However it works, it's also working in mine. That is to say, I loved it as well, despite my issues with the ending.
