I liked it. I think that the writers must have had a contingency plan for the possibility that the series would not continue beyond this year. So they planted several clues to a possible ending. I can't say that it was that original. Dallas had a whole year explained as a dream. St. Elsewhere suggested that the entire series was simply in the mind of an autistic child. The Bob Newhart Show used the dream concept to end that show. I wonder if they filmed that sequence at the beginning of the season?

It definitely tied up the loose ends, but was a bit cheesy, I thought. The dream concept has been overused, I think--and it diluted the impact of Sam reading to Annie in the nursing home.

I loved the ending! I have been betting my husband (just pennies, yes we are big spenders) that Sam was in a coma and this was all just a dream. The second to the last episode had me rethinking my thoughts and by the time the finale hit I was just totally dumb founded. They took that somewhere I never ever expected them to go, for that I say "Great Job!" I did have a hard time figuring out some of the little tips that they gave us during the season, but between my hubby and myself we were able to get it. I am going to miss the show, it was fun while it lasted!!

Was the BBC version different?
