Any Medium fans?

We were both very disappointed in the ending. I don't see why they had to kill him, seriously??

I don't understand... why shouldn't they kill him? It's the finale... That's practically the only time you have the opportunity to inject some drama having to do with the death of a major character into a series. Knowing that the series was ending, the writers knew that they had this rare opportunity. In a show about dead people, it fit very well.

You don't see the kids, OK Ariel for a bit, but not the other 2 as kids.

Marie was featured prominently as a teenager. Bridgette didn't appear in the flash forward, but was mentioned. That's not necessarily strange... they only had 42 minutes.

And her, alone in her 80's in a nursing home, no family while she passed. Come on...

She was not ill. She was in her 80's. She was doing her normal routine, eating breakfast, listening to a voice message from Glimmer. Very few people, in that situation, have family around them when they die. This was very true-to-life.

I would have rather seen flash aheads to the happy times with the kids and graduations, marriages, and everything they should have shared together.

Again, they have only 42 minutes, but even then, they did weave a lot of that in there, in the photographs that were displayed around Allison's room.

DD and I were not happy at all, another series ending that we were very disappointed in.

If you were disappointed with this one, I cannot imagine that you'll be happy with a television series ever ending. The only series that had a substantially more comprehensive wrap-up was Six Feet Under. That was a work of art, far beyond the skills of most regular television production teams. Beyond that, though, I can't recall a family drama that had as complete of a resolution.

It didn't strike me as a nursing home either. Looked like a home to me, with a personal aid to help with day to day things. Most older people who die in their homes do not have family around, because hopefully, their kids are grown and have families of their own.

I am a fan of the show and, while I will miss it, I think it has run its course.

Also, ever since I saw the real Allison Dubois on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, it has been difficult to watch. The real Allison Dubois seems to be a little mean and self centered (at least, that is how she was on the show). It doesn't reconcile with the Allison Dubois that Patricia Arquette plays.

Omg, I thought the same thing. AD on RH was AWFUL. She was mean and rude. I could not believe she was the lady that PA was portraying on 'Medium' and quite frankly I have not seen the show since seeing what an idiot AD was on RH.

These. Very nasty woman.

I agree with the others on the real Allison shown on the Real Housewives. It totally ruined the show for me! And if she's such a great psychic, why didn't she tell her good friend Camille that Kelsey was cheating !

The real Allison should give up alcohol - she's a mean drunk. Or maybe she's just plain *mean*.

agnes!

Anyone else remember that in the first season of Medium, Allison had a drinking problem? She drank to keep the "spirits away" and surpress the dreams. I'm glad they ditched the storyline but always wondered why they did. I'd heard that the real Allison Dubois struggled with alcoholism, but I don't really know enough about her to know if that is true.

did you guys read the interview with her in the current tv guide?
puts a different spin on that whole episode

Finally got a chance to watch the last episode. It was just OK. Not sure how I think it should have went though. I did like all the actors saying goodbye.

I cried like a baby watching the ending I have seen every episode of this show since the beginning. I really am devestated over the cancellation. It was one of the last good shows on tv these days.


As for the ending, I am in the minority. I thought it was a great episode. It was sad to not see so much of the girls, BUT the episode was meant to focus on Joe and Allison. One of the common themes in throughout the show was about their relationship and how her ability affected them as a couple. It was horrible that Joe died, but again, not everything in life is perfect and not every story has that perfect ending. The writers always did a good job at portraying them as a normal family and in real, normal families tragedies do happen. They did get that happy ending when they were reunited in death. I thought it was fitting. I will miss them all.

I really liked it too, but my expectations may have been low because I had NO idea the show was ending. We, too, had to google it toward the end. I kept thinking the whole thing was a dream or something and everything would be fine at the end. My husband and I even said to each other, wow this would be a good way to end the show! Little did we know, it was! If any of you watch "Pretty Little Liars," did you notice that Marie as a teenager was played by the dead girl (Alison)? I hope we see the girl who played Ariel in other shows/movies in the future. I thought she was an excellent actor.
