I was afraid of this. Sources tell me that
it doesn't look like there will be a second season of NBC's Surface. The network won't make the official
announcement until next month, when they unveil their fall schedules, but it looks like the show has ended.But let's try to save it! Yeah, these petition things often don't make a difference, but there's no harm. Here's the Save Surface on NBC petition. Almost 12,000 signatures so far.
It's a shame if this doesn't see a second season. It's better than Invasion and Threshold.
I like a show that doesn't BS around with dull scenes in its season
finale. Right off the bat we're given the scenario: Miles and his family are packing up to escape town before the
tsunami hits, Caitlin's Vespa is stolen when she arrives too late to find Miles, and she's knocked out when the crook
pushes her, and Laura steals a rental car from the airport and blows by a road block to find Rich, who has been locked
in a room at the mysterious lab. (And what is Jackson's name and pic doing on the lab's computers? Section
Chief?!?)
You know how sometimes they'll advertise an episode of a TV show as the
"episode you must see" or "the episode that changes everything?" Usually it's just hype or wishful
thinking. They didn't advertise episode 14 of Surface as an episode that changes everything or a must
see. But they could have. Because, well, this is the episode that changes everything.
One of the things that I like about Surface (one of many things) is that I really don't know
where it's going with its story. I had assumptions I made about where these creatures came from, and they turned out to
be wrong. I made an assumption on how the story was going to play out between Laura, Rich, and Miles, and I was
wrong on that too. So I'm not going to try to predict what's going to happen anymore. I'm just going to sit back
and enjoy the remaining episodes for this season.
Who would have thought that, just when Laura and Rich are so close to convincing the world that mysterious sea
creatures do indeed exist in the oceans around the world, the person who could potentially screw up that disclosure and
put their lives in danger would be...Keith Olbermann?!?
