WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE NETWORKS?!?

I love this show. So inevitably, the Network chooses to end it without any resolution leaving an extremely dissatisfied taste in my mouth. In my opinion, ending a series with a final episode like this shows a distinct disrespect for the fans and the world created over the last 4 years! It is perverse and downright nasty to end it this way! There are supposed to be one or more movies that I suppose might clear things up a bit, but I haven't been able to find them.

I'm sick of getting invested in shows and having some jackass at the network decide to end it in favor of criminally STUPID so-called "reality Tv" shows which usually show people at their worst and have no redeeming value (exceptions do exist but not a lot).

I just finished watching this episode so the anger is very fresh.

An episode out of nowhere full of Smoke

Warning: Spoilers
There are so many people and secrets in this episode that were never even hinted at in the episodes leading up to it. In fact the one thing that is consistent with previous episodes is Ms. Parkers intense and inexplicable hatred and mistrust of Jarrod. The heart of the story, other than Ms Parker and Jarrod both searching for the truth was Sydney's relationship with Jarrod. This was especially true in Road Trip and Junk earlier in the season. But Jarrod and Boots barely say anything to Jarrod the entire episode and the last scene the two of them have is so 'classic' it's cliché. Catherine Parker having that extra-normal sixth sense and Sydney already knowing she faked her death were never even hinted at the entire series and yet were the biggest parts of the episode. Aside from two people who cant' stand each-other sharing a sibling in common. Which would be pretty powerful drama if done believably. And this was anything but natural unfolding of events. And it's unfortunately enough the series finale. Jarrod never says goodbye to Sidney and in fact Sydney had been fading further and further away for the past 6 episodes. The heart of the show minimalized for the sake of the mystery...with very few answers ever found.
