I've come up with the perfect ending for myself. Where Ned's gift is inherited from his father, which is why he abandoned his son in childhood when he killed his mother and neighbor. And in my ending, Ned does touch Chuck, which causes her to die, but Ned's father appears and revives her. Therefore, Chuck and Ned are happy, Ned's father can't touch Chuck, and he doesn't need to. And I don't like this ending. Ned's father was completely excluded from it, but he still appeared periodically.
@vk226860: And why did you leave the twins? Did they kill you too? Nah, Dad had to learn something.
When the twins and the father were introduced, I was sure that it was hereditary, and the audience would be introduced to the world of magic through the twins. With the help of the "power of three" they would be able to violate the "law of equal exchange" - to resurrect right and left, there would be magical villains, or just magical guardians of balance. Given the "grotesqueness", one could afford to parody any plot of any near-fantasy work, and it would have worked.
And the father left because the moment was coming when he himself could no longer touch the children. His strength could be a little different, with different rules of the game.
About producer Bryan Fuller (most of them are here because of him, right?) -- among "Dead like me", "Dead on demand", "Chudopad", "Hannibal", only "Dead like me" are mentioned. At least when he came out.
@vk226860: because it's not the end, the series was just shut down and that's it. That's why a lot of lines are stuck. Bryan Fuller then spent many years planning to finish the series in the form of a graphic novel, a mini-movie, etc., but it didn't work out.
I'm still sorry that the series was closed so early, I'm sure Fuller had many more ideas for a sequel. Somehow, his projects are not very lucky at all, although they are so good, well I will miss all the characters, they are adorable with:
It's been a long time since this series was on the watch list. God, it's an incredible pity that it was closed (I enjoyed every minute of the two seasons. Incredible atmosphere) And Lee Pace as the pie man is just a sweetheart. I will miss Emmerson, Lily and Vivienne and the annoying but sweet Olive)))
I liked the series, it was light and bright, it was a pity that it ended so abruptly, it wasn't revealed where the fathers were , it wasn't revealed how Ned and Chuck would develop their relationship, how aunt and mother would react to Charlotte's resurrection, I didn't have enough of this crumpled end :((( I'll go look for it , maybe it was taken from some book and I I'll find a sequel
It's a wonderful series! Leaves you feeling fabulous and smiling after watching it. What and how the characters will be there is no longer important. Everything was closed on a high note and despite the seemingly main idea of death, it seems that everything will be fine for everyone.
Oh, it's a pity we didn't have time to tell you about Ned's father... (it's less interesting about Chuck's father, he's some kind of selfish jerk) And about Chuck and Lily and Vivian, and about them and Ned, of course.
Every time I come across the raggedness, rather than the completeness of the series, I get very upset (( The status of dead can be so deceptive!
I watched this series once on TV, it really got into my soul then. Now I've reviewed it and realized that it's even better than I thought. In addition, I really like the Netflix adaptation of Lemony Snicket's stories about the Baudelaire orphans, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, who also worked on this project. Interestingly, already in this series, you can see many narrative techniques that will later be used in "33 misfortunes." In general, the series is wonderful and really outstanding. But I still can't accept that it was prematurely closed.
I watched the series 5 years ago. I'm reviewing it again now. I still can't accept that it was closed. It feels like someone is deliberately putting a stick in Fuller's wheels and shutting down all his masterpieces. Or maybe people are too dumb to appreciate his projects. In any case, it's a shame.
It's a great series, and I couldn't help but think that it was British-it's usually their style to be so cute. Romantic, but not to the point of mawkishness, with wonderful humor, often very black. I really liked the picture, the actors, and the characters - especially Olive for some reason (no wonder Kristin Chenoweth got an Emmy for her). When I first started watching, I was sure that she would be a typical runaway bitch and start putting sticks in the wheels of a couple, and I was pleasantly surprised when the scriptwriters sent this cliche to hell. Of course, it's a pity that the series was closed, because a lot remained unfinished. They didn't tell us why Dwight collected these watches at all, they were hardly that valuable, the Pie Man didn't meet his father (by the way, did I miss this moment, or did they never tell us his last name?), Chuck's father also just went nowhere. P.S. Why can't Ned touch the dead series...
@Ne_Edinorog: there is only one question for the person, what is the problem? Did you not like the series or are you upset that someone is watching it every year?
It's very strange to watch a TV series from 2007 in 2024, a completely different reality, completely different concepts of jokes, although, it would seem, not much time has passed. Thank you, of course, for completing all the storylines as quickly as possible in the end, but it would have been better if Brian Fuller had made the series cheaper so that it would not be closed so quickly. No thanks for the fact that Chuck and her mother behaved like the last creatures in this episode, and this is my last impression of them, and I already had a low opinion of them. Otherwise: a) Olive is the best and has earned herself a Rose Tyler-style clone of Ned. b) Emerson is just absolutely the best. c) Lee Pace is the most beautiful man on earth, I've been putting off this series for 13 years, having watched literally everything else where he starred, and his bangs in the first season drove me crazy. It's a pity that she wasn't in the second one.
I'm waiting for a movie for the 20th anniversary of the series, where Ned still gets along with Olive.
Well, in the last 2 minutes, you can say "ended" the series abruptly) In fact, it was closed, of course, because of the ratings, although it was much loved by critics, and now has a semi-cult status. Of course, it probably came out at a bad time, 2007-2008 was just the time of the writers' strike, because there is such a strange breakdown of episodes (9 and 13), and the classic 22-episode season for the broadcast channel was divided into two I personally still didn't really get into it, this whole grotesque thing is not for me, although I understand those who like it. I had a hard time finishing him off, because I caught him on Russian TV many many years ago) Well, Brian Fuller is still practical after a decade, he somehow tried to finish it, there were comics planned, and then a TV movie/mini-series, but it still didn't work out (although never say never). If you're interested, you can read about it on the English-language Wikipedia.

In Hannibal, he mastered only a few episodes.
