Discuss the final episodes of this short-lived spinoff. You can watch these episodes on YouTube via Cinedigm for $1.99 apiece.
Episode 20: "The Ex-Files"
Nick comes across his ex-wife (an attorney) and the villainous British immortal she's confronting. Despite the nice moments between Wolfe and wife, the overall episode is an average entry in this show.
Episode 21: "War and Peace"
Another contender for best episode. Father Liam has his own "Forgive Us Our Trespasses" story, revealing the priest's backstory and introducing a villain seeking revenge for his mother's death. The Scottish villain and his biker gang are only a part of the problem, though: there's also a reporter who witnessed Amanda's revival from death. Liam has a fascinating crisis of faith, and Amanda provokes a holy ground fight with him just to prove a point. It ends how FUOT should've ended.
Episode 22: "Dead on Arrival"
The title says it all...the last episode is arguably the worst. Rich cinematography cannot forgive a hokey plot about a villain (played by an actor who later became an evil Watcher in Endgame) who uses deadly magic tricks and implausible computer viruses to promote his wealth. He poisons Nick, and this leads to a painful ending that both undermines Wolfe's character and reworks the rules of "first death" immortality yet again. The only good thing to come out of this mess is Nick's final line--as suitable a conclusion to this series as any.
