I had seen bits and pieces of this mini-series, but never had the chance to watch it in its entirety, or even from the beginning from that matter. Thanks to the wonder that is Netflix, I have finally been able to start watching this series.
It's an odd one to say the least. It's not the talking aardvark or the two mentally challenged psychics that wander around the hospital's basement that come off as odd, but the hapless staff. Honestly, there isn't a competent member on that staff. Even during the surgery scene, Dr. Hook, the specialist shows himself to be a bit off keel. Besides, I don't know how many people would be comfortable having the goofball from Weekend at Bernie's digging around in their brain.
As this is the first episode, its main purpose is to establish background and it does so. We get a brief glimpse into the history of the area where the hospital now stands before we meet Peter Rickman (played by Noah Bennet himself), an artist who gets sent to said hospital after being hit by a van. The driver, having a DUI on his record as well as an ounce of weed on him, decides to flee and leave Rickman to his own devices.
There are a few nods to King's work. Rickman's sweatshirt says Little Tall and of course a crow shows up early on. It's hard to tell whether people are intentionally making the Randall Flagg reference or if I'm just reading too much into it.
While the crow does "talk" it seemed like we were just getting his thoughts on the matter, much like we do with the German Shepard later (who, humorously enough, thinks in a German accent).
I dug the theme song. Luckily, that isn't where the show peaked. I've seen that happen a few times and it's quite sad.
The acting and writing are strong, outside of Mrs. Rickman's big no, there weren't any parts that seemed forced or overdone. There aren't any lines that seem out of place or poorly put together so it was quite good in that regard.
Had I seen the original Kingdom series, I would make comparisons, but I can't as I haven't. While the credits do say that this is based on that, King is still credited with the teleplay and is also credited as the executive producer.
It doesn't have the same gripping quality as Lost (or at the very least, not to the extent of it), but I am still curious to see how this all pans out. I look forward to seeing what the deal is with the aardvark (Rickman made some mention of it being the guardian of the gate, but I get the feeling there's more to it then that).
I read that fans wanted a second season, and that King even had one story-boarded. I just hope that it doesn't end on a cliffhanger, because that annoys me. Given that the last episode is called "Finale" I doubt it will be though, so that's a comfort.
Episode 2: Death's Kingdom
This episode went by a heck of a lot quicker than the first one, I don't know why it felt like that, but it did. This episode sees the man who hit Rickman, named Dave Hoonan, suffer an accident of his own. Drunk as all get out, and covered in what I guess are nicotine patches, the man falls off his roof and ends up severely injured.
The wheel of ka makes another revolution as the same EMT's who picked up Rickman pick him up. The driver even notes how eerie the similarities are between the two. This is augmented by the fact that the ant eater is stalking Dave as well. The big difference is that he seems to be a tad more malicious towards this man than he was towards Rickman. This is exemplified in the scene where the mysterious creature kills him.
What is up with all the close up shots of eyes? The last episode had a couple, but this time they're all over the place.
Meanwhile Mrs. Drusse holds a seance to see if she can put to rest the spirits that lurk in the hospital. It's cut short by Stegman, who boots her out of the hospital for being a "leech". She informs Hook of the ghostly situation. He's skeptical at first, but then he starts to hear laughter coming from the top of the elevator.
He comes across the doll that was seen repeatedly throughout and drops it after hearing more laughter. Finally he sees the ghost of a young girl, confirming Drusse's story.
This episode had more of a spook factor while also giving us better insight into some of the supporting characters.
There is another nod to King's work via the "nozzie" sodas. During one scene where a character is standing at the vending machine, you can see it is a nickname for "Nozz-a-la" which was mentioned a few times in the Dark Tower books.
It's always tough to judge first episodes as you have to give them time to get their feet wet. It seems with this episode that the ball has gotten rolling. As mentioned before, this episode went by a lot quicker and I felt more engaged in the story this time around. It's not the fault of the first episode, however, it's just that these things need a bit of time to gain momentum.
Episode 3: Goodbye Kiss
Why did people not stick around for this show? It's good. OK, it isn't mind blowingly awesome, but it's an intriguing series and it actually delivers a few spooky moments. It's entertaining and not in that "oh well there's nothing else on, I might as well just watch this" kind of way.
Yeah there's an ongoing mystery/story arc, but it's not so different from other successful genre shows that viewers would've been put off by this. Even the criticism that the show required a lot of heavy lifting doesn't seem to apply, at least not for me. Maybe that kicks in later? Weird stuff happens, but that's the point.
Stegman really comes into his own as a reprehensible character. Yes, he parked in a handicapped space in the first episode, but his scene with Mrs. Klingerman was actually able to top it. It's revealed that he botched a surgery and did irreperable harm. HIs way of consoling the grieving mother is to assure her that her daughter could still do housework. I'm kind of surprised the nurse didn't face palm. The more Stegman went on the more likely it seemed that the nurse would mumble, "dude, shut up". It never did, and Stegman kept making it worse, but Klingerman dished out some verbal payback as well as a medical malpractice accusation. He tries to turn the tables, but it came off as kind of pathetic.
I've been told that the series that this was based on was more of a dark comedy. While I can't say if it continues through the series (and I've been told it doesn't) we see some of that here, mainly with a bizarre musical number involving the staff as well as a couple of corpses.
We do get something of an explanation to the odd hand gesture that all the doctors seem to give each other as the Keepers plot element is introduced. They probably should've spent more time coming up with a signal because, I'm sorry, that just looks silly.
This was an entertaining episode overall. It had a little bit of everything, and all the elements seemed perfectly balanced.
Episode 4: The West Side of Midnight
While stuff happens in this episode, by the end of it, it didn't really seem like a whole lot has been accomplished.
Mrs. Drusse talks to her friend Lenny as he lies on his deathbed. After the two share a heartfelt goodbye, she asks him to linger between worlds for a while so that he can aid her in her mission. He agrees and says that a patient in the hospital knows the name of the little girl.
Paul, meanwhile, recruits the convict to dispose of Mrs. Drusse so that she can't achieve her goals.
Elmer has a dream about Antubis (the strange anteater creature) and cites it as the most horrifying nightmare he's ever had. Seeing as his nightmare isn't all that intense, I suppose it's a good thing.
Much of the episode focuses on Elmer, whether it is via his continuous pursuit of Dr. Massingale or the recent death of his mother.
Rickman and Stegman are almost reduced to cameos, heck, even Dr. Hook doesn't have all that much in the way of screentime.
Speaking of Stegman, he's set on finding out who defaced his car. He approaches two of the people he saw laughing at him in the first episode and threatens them at gunpoint to reveal who did it. They tell him what they know and he offers to reward them handsomely if they come across any more information, more specifically, he wants them to name names.
I think this is the weakest of the episodes I've watched so far. It wasn't bad, it just didn't seem all that eventful. All of the dramatic moments were well done and it didn't seem forced or heavy handed. I just think it would've been better to find one core plot element to focus on whereas here it's rather scattershot.
Also, while the doctors don't break out into full on musical number mode, they do, once again, spontaneously break out into song. Ghosts or no ghosts, that hospital is just weird.
Episode 5: Hook's Kingdom
Where the last episode was rather lackluster, this one compensates in spades. The overall narrative is driven forward quite a bit and there are creepy moments galore.
Paul strangles Rickman in his sleep, but is interrupted by Mary and Antubis. Mrs. Rickman comes by with an audiobook, following on the advice of Dr. Hook that hearing voices helps keep Peter grounded.
At a church book club, where the two men Stegman accosted last episode are also present, one of the members loses it and starts raving incoherently before attacking everyone with almost superhuman strength, throwing people several feet effortlessly. The incident ends when the homeless man, named Frankie, repeatedly slams his head into a pillar. He's brought in to the hospital and diagnosed with a brain tumor.
The surgery takes an interesting turn when the patient wakes up. Stegman assumes that the anesthesiologist screwed up despite the claim that they gave him the maximum dose for his weight. After ordering a larger dose, Stegman flees the scene when things take a turn for the worse. He complements this by saying that he did fine and he considers the brain surgery a success no matter what happens. Just when you think the character couldn't be any more of a spineless schmuck, he manages to top himself. It's rather amazing in its own deplorable way.
Dr. Gupta (whose name Stegman chronically mispronounces despite being repeatedly corrected) claims that Frankie looks like Elmer, but I honestly didn't see it. Even when Gupta put Elmer's glasses on the corpse, it didn't look a whole lot like him.
Not forgetting the vandalism that took place, Stegman continues to search for the people who ruined his car. He goes up to a random doctor and asks her to finish the quote "Physician heal thy..." Even if the doctor had finished the quote successfully, that really wouldn't have proved anything. It's not like that's an obscure phrase. All it really would've proven was that she knows famous quotes. It's a moot point however as she doesn't follow and the confrontation ends with her utterly perplexed.
We also get some insight into the odd nature of Dr. Hook. He reveals that he lives in "the old kingdom", hordes medical supplies, and chronically keeps track of all the mishaps that go on in the hospital, whether they be innocent mistakes or malpractice level screw ups. It is his own way of waging war on incompetence.
The duo of Abel and Christa also play a larger role in this episode. Where as last episode we only got one quick shot of them sleeping, here we see them ask Dr. James for a favor as well as taunt Stegman as he's passing them in the hallway.
There's just something about these two that annoys me. I don't know readers, should I hate em? I know they're generally harmless, but there's something about em. Something around the eyes. I don't know....No I'm sure of it; I hate em.
All in all, this is more like it. This episode is a marked improvement over the last one and delivers everything you would expect from the series so far. It fleshes out several of the characters, gives us quite a few creepy scenes and ends on a rather effective cliffhanger.
Episode 6: The Young and the Headless
Antubis lies mortally wounded and Paul is about to deliver the killing blow. Luckily, the ant-eater creature rallies enough strength to fight him off. Paul resigns to let Antubis suffer. Paul also calls him some name I couldn't understand, it sounded like "snowman" but that doesn't make any sense. Even as a flat insult, it's rather lacking.
Mary recruits Rickman to save the creature's life. He complies after getting a somewhat vague explanation of what Antubis is. You ever notice how in genre shows, a character will confront the mysterious supernatural entity, ask it what it is and it will somehow dodge the question? The smoke monster has done this a few times on Lost and Mary does it here. In fairness, she did give a partial explanation where Smokey answered with "you already know" which is a complete dodge. Also, she didn't really have time to go into exposition mode seeing as he was dying and all.
Topside, Stegman is initiated into the Keepers. During the ritual, the head makes a reference to them fighting the occult and supernatural. Whether this means that they don't believe in it and want to squash all speculation or that they are guardians who protect our realm remains to be seen. If it is the prior (and I suspect it is since Stegman would have no part of it if it were the latter), I have to say it is incredibly ironic that they would station themselves in a haunted hospital.
Elmer, meanwhile, uses Frankie's head to play a joke on Lona. I'm not sure what the joke is, exactly. I kind of get it, what with him emphasizing that it was the solution to a philosophical problem, but it's not that funny. In addition, he seems pretty mortified when the head rolls out into the hallway. That part didn't make a whole lot of sense, but I'll forgive it as it leads to a rather glorious scene where the headless body is seen running around the hospital as the song "Where's Your Head At?" plays. That's just awesome right there.
You know what else is awesome? The Cigarette Smoking Man has a guest role in this episode. While I doubt Davis will be able to top the iconic character, it's still good to see him pop up from time to time.
This episode plays up the dark comedy angle more than the other episodes. It's interesting to note how this show kind of shuffles back and forth between various genres. It adds variety and a sense that you never really know what the next episode is going to deliver.
Episode 7: Black Noise
Johnny B. Goode remains unseen, his mysterious absence even extends to dodging jury duty. This scene introduces us to a sleazy lawyer who had sex with a potential juror's wife, talked her into having an abortion, and then firing her when medical complications arose. His partner is even more callous. It's pretty mind boggling.
The accusation drives him to a heart attack and he is subsequently brought to Kingdom Hospital.
It's revealed that Blondi is now a ghost, most likely killed by Paul after he crippled Antubis. Why he did this, I don't know. Blondi's still awesome though, even if he is borderline demonic.
It was amusing to see how far the doctors went to avoid liability when the lawyer was brought in. They bring in multiple cameras, have him sign a waiver, and even have a notary to record every bit of dialogue. It's understandable, given how vulnerable doctors are to law suits, but they really went all out covering their bases.
The dark comedy from the previous episode continues with more antics from the headless corpse. It might not have a perfectly fitting song to accompany it, but seeing a German Shepard carrying around a human head is so wrong, but quite funny at the same time.
This was a pretty entertaining episode. It had a nice dose of humor and still drove the overall plot forward. It's good to see peripheral characters like James and Nat get brought more into the story by having them become aware of the occurrences.
We're coming up on the second half of the season. While I'm curious to see how it all pans out, I read that it leaves a lot of plot elements open. The fact that Stephen King had a second season storyboarded proves that this series won't tie up all the loose ends. Hopefully it ends in such a way that it doesn't become frustrating.
Episode 8: Heartless
One of the first things you'll notice when watching this episode is that the woman lying in bed looks awfully familiar. That's because it's Evangeline Lilly, better known as Kate from Lost. It's pretty much a cameo and she has no lines (given how much of Lost's fandom hates Kate, maybe it's for the best), but it's a nice little easter egg.
Otto makes a comment mocking Schwartzon, who claims to have made an "earthquake predictor". I'm no expert on seismology, pretty much all of my knowledge comes fromTremors, but can't they already do that to a lesser extent? I mean, if you know what to look for, there are warning signs that allow you to predict that sort of thing aren't there? Given the supernatural roots of the earthquakes, this might not be the case, but just in general, it seemed an odd thing to mock.
It's weird, Stegman's a gigantic, selfish, and thieving putz, but there are several instances in this show where he comes off as the only sane person at the hospital. He gets a pretty good dig at Mrs. Druse after he sees her wandering the halls of the hospital yet again.
More is revealed of Mary's past, such as her last name and the fact that two separate buildings built on the same site burnt down on the same day, although decades apart.
I feel bad for Bobby. He's just trying to do his job and his mother's constantly asking for ridiculous favors. It really never ends for him.
Antubis plays a fairly large role in this episode, making a bargain with Fleischer. The spiritual ant-eater takes a cue from Dr. Doom's book and delivers pretty much what Fleischer asked for, though not in the context that he intended. This is a common wish trope whether it be with a devil figure or with a simple genie. It's even more impressive that Antubis pulled it on a lawyer (Antubis even asks, what exactly it is that Fleischer wants, since he is a lawyer). The result of the wish is so shocking that even Mary is rather perturbed by it.
This episode is an emotional roller coaster. There are quite a few humorous oddball moments, such as Hook's conversation with Elmer, some creepy moments, as well as a rather heartfelt scene with Elmer and Lona, the prior thinking the latter has died. Up until now, Elmer's affection has basically been showcased through incessant horny and perverse lust, when he sees her "body" lying there he starts quoting Shakespeare and you do see some genuine feeling.
The episode has an interesting blend of everything and it also drives the overall story forward a good deal. Even upon second viewing I found it highly enjoyable.
Episode 9: Butterfingers
The title of this episode does not pertain to the candy bar, so at no point does any character utter the phrase" no one better lay a finger on my butterfinger". You'd think that it would, at least, be an amusing one off gag, to just have one of the characters sitting around snacking on the candy bar, but no dice I'm afraid.
For the second time in as many episodes, we have a character who tries to end it all by putting a bullet through their brain. Whereas the billionaire was only given any explanation, this time, the circumstances are fully fleshed out and become the crux of the episode's story.
The suicidal character this time around is a disgraced baseball player who made a critical error in the world series years ago and has never been able to live it down. This error haunts him more than the pie scene haunts Jason Biggs.
You would think that people would move on, I mean World Series come and go, but at the same time, a local player like that probably would be constantly reminded of it by the populace. The fact that the team, the Robins, have once again made it to the World Series has everyone excited and allows people to bring up the past error.
The only character not wrapped up in the World Series is Stegman, who says that it's a game for morons. That's just un-American right there. I'm not even a big baseball fan, but that's harsh.
Alas, the poor baseball player's bad luck doesn't end with death. Rather than crossover to the next world, he finds himself trapped in between worlds (or Swedenborgian space as they call it). Not surprisingly, the spirits take every chance they can to mock him about the missed catch.
Paul's status as an antagonist comes to play here as he holds the trapped spirit hostage. You come to realize that he's a pretty lame villain. While not creepy, Stegman's a better bad guy; Dr. Gottreich is creepier; heck, Antubis is a better villain and he's a good guy...sort of. Paul's just a generic two-bit punk and it seems like he's trying too hard.
The Anubis reference was an interesting one. It's understandable given the name similarities, but the two serve somewhat similar roles. The fact that Anubis appears in "The Old Kingdom" texts is another stunning coincidence, on the other hand, King may have done that on purpose.
This episode is unique in that it's really the only one that really qualifies as a stand alone episode. Yes, it ties in with the overall arc, but you can watch this episode with no real knowledge of the show and get a feel for what's going on with very little trouble.
Overall, it was an enjoyable episode, but the ending really ruined it. They could've just as easily found another way to let him cross over rather than go the route they did. I don't want to spoil it, but it comes out of nowhere and is kind of a cheat. It's vexing enough that it really knocks the whole episode down a few pegs, which is sad as it was actually quite well done up until that point.
Also, I still hate Abel and Christa.
Episode 10: The Passion of Reverend Jimmy aka On the Third Day
This episode takes a rather religious turn. Really devout atheists might want to stay away from this one as there is a heavy Christ theme going through this episode. It goes beyond a mere "Christ figure", you see that somewhat frequently in fiction with certain characters (like Superman, for example), but it seems like Reverend Jimmy is literally the reincarnation of Christ. Most of the supernatural phenomenon in this episode comes from the recreation of many of Christ's miracles.
I didn't notice the resemblance before, but seeing the guy chained up to the fence, he was the spitting image of most portrayals of the figure.
While the miracles of James Criss are all portrayed in a positive light, as is the crowd's faith, seeing all of these things occur is still kind of spooky. Seeing the tap water turn to wine or hearing that his corpse was still bleeding even though he was already dead (and drained of blood) was pretty awe inspiring on both the spiritual and unnerving fronts.
The religious imagery is prevalent throughout, but it never gets preachy or heavy handed. It's not trying to shove a message down your throat, just tell a fascinating story.
It seems like there's a whole story on just the implications of the events that unfold in this episode. I imagine something of this magnitude would have repercussions, not just in the state of Maine, or even the country, but on a global front as well.
On the more secular front, Stegman continues to hassle Dr. Abelson about obtaining a copy of Mona Klingerman's anesthesiology report. While he baits her with a romantic weekend to Salem, it's clear that he cares more about his reputation than he does any getaway.
Dr. Hook, knowing the same info that Steg does, sends Elmer to obtain the exact same copy.
I'm confused about Blondi. A few episodes ago, we saw the dog with demon eyes, as well as walking through walls, the implication being that Paul got him. Now, he comes back and everything's fine. Maybe that was another miracle that went unnoticed or the ghost was just an illusion.
Even watching it a second time, the episode still had me enthralled throughout. It's definitely one of the highlights of the series.
Episode 11: Seizure Day
The crowd still clogs the parking lot of Kingdom Hospital and police are called in for crowd control. After a long day of beating the hell out of believers, two of the cops ride off on horseback for some brewskis. It's interrupted however when a light shines down and knocks one of the cops off his horse. He starts spouting random phrases before saying that he's gone blind and starts going into seizure. Your first thought upon seeing this is aliens, but somehow I doubt that.
On the other hand, why not right? I mean you've got ghosts, Antubis, Christ 2.0, and it's revealed that Abelson practices witchcraft, so why not aliens? My roommates have been quick to point out how weird this show is. It's unorthodox to say the least, but you never really think about the odd mishmash of theological elements as you're watching it.
We're given more information on black noise and how the military has been experimenting with black noise generators since the 60's (not to be confused with the brown noise which the French experimented with during World War II.)
Did anyone else notice that Elmer put the copy of the anesthesiology report face up on the copier when you're supposed to set it face down? It's a minor goof and nitpick, I know, but it was still quite noticeable.
Stegman flees a surgery yet again. Had I known, I would've kept a count, because I honestly think we're up to three, maybe even four instances where he's utilized the "run away!" tactic. The fact that this guy still has his medical degree is mind boggling.
On a random note, getting rats hooked on cocaine (for science of course)...that's just funny. I don't know whether Hook's laughter was scripted or that was just the fact that McCarthy couldn't keep a straight face. I kind of like to think that it's the latter.
The whole rant that the head of archives goes on about computers was rather ridiculous. Yeah, it's most likely just the usual "old people hate technology" archetype but just because people spend a lot of time on the computer doesn't mean that they're committing blasphemy. Most people need computers for work purposes. Even beyond that, just because someone spends a few hours of their free time playing World of Warcraft or surfing TVtropes doesn't mean that they're losing sight of God. Some of the more extreme users, yeah you might have a point, but stereotypes are bad and not everyone is that dependent on it. In the computer addict's defense, you try going to TVtropes and only spending a few minutes there. Can't be done people, you may think that it's been a few minutes, but it turns into an hour and a half with very little effort.
I don't know whether Elmer hooking up with Lona in the morgue again (next to a decaying corpse no less) is squicky or deserves credit, just for sheer determination. It's not quite an "eeeew, necrophilia is gross" moment, but it's close.
Episode 12: Shoulda Stood in Bed
All of the characters come together to make one final stand as a devastating earthquake looms. This episode started off a bit slow, and it seemed like it was going to be another one of those episodes that just kind of spun its wheels and passed the time.
A few minutes in, however, things kicked into high gear as plot-lines started to converge. This episode shows us the fall of Dr. Stegman and he falls hard. The anesthesiology report is posted all over the hospital, putting his reputation into question. In fury, he snaps at Brenda calling her a bunch of names. Stegman's not particularly good at insulting people, but seeing him get fed up is always amusing to watch. Brenda, in turn, becomes crazed and shoots all of his lab rats. To top it all off, he's called out on the plagiarism that he committed earlier in the series, so he's pretty much done career wise.
Another X-Files guest star shows up, this time it's Byers from the Lone Gunmen, playing one of the medical senior staff who talks to Stegman after everything is revealed. I know he's the most clean cut of the Lone Gunmen, but how funny would it have been to see Langly as one of the head doctors? Heck, you could've gotten all three of them to play the parts, that would've been awesome.
We also get a nod to the Dark Tower when Mary tells Peter to "see it very well". I thought that was a nice touch.
Paul and Gottreich make a stand, but it doesn't go too well. Sure, Paul has force lightning, but he can't aim... at all. He misses Peter and vows that he's going to hit the old lady (Mrs. Druse) but he shoots that beam several feet over her head. This gives Antubis ample time to return fire and send them elsewhere.
Why aren't they utilizing Reverend Jimmy? He's still around, you would think he would be a pretty powerful ally, especially in a situation like this. They're so intent on gathering Abel and Christa, when they have Nu-Jesus running around, priorities people.
What's even weirder is that there was talk of a second season and yet, the narration at the end says that our time at Kingdom Hospital is almost over and asks if we could make time for one more visit. Maybe at this point they knew, but it's still a bit weird.
This has been a fun show and I am curious to see how it all wraps up. We'll find out in the shocking conclusion.
This is it, the shocking conclusion. Does it satisfy the viewer and settle all the plot elements? Not particularly. It does indeed explain quite a lot, but that results in one of the rare instances where a season finale has more exposition than the whole series combined. Some of it is stuff we already know (but other characters don't, thus filling them in) and a lot of it is elaborating on the mill fire that set everything in motion.
The identity of Antubis is revealed, as is the story of how he befriended Mary. Speaking of Mary, she takes the lead in this episode and it's here where she gets fully fleshed out as a character.
We also finally see Johnny Goode, and the actor who plays him should be fairly familiar to long time Stephen King fans.
Where the episode really falls apart is the resolution. It's basically all one giant retcon. They pretty much use a similar tactic to the one they used to save Earl Candleton and once again, I find it vexing. Actually, this one's a bit more vexing as it is used to a much greater degree and has a much bigger role to play in the overall story of the episode.
Even more vexing are the plot elements left untouched. What was the point of Operation Morning Air and the Keepers? They literally did nothing and added nothing to the plot. Sure, Dr. James was an amicable character and made an interesting foil for Stegman, but really there wasn't much for him to do.
Why did they decide at the last minute to throw in a reference to another Dr. Gottreich when it was pretty clear that the one we saw lurking around the hospital was the one from the 1860's? Mrs. Druse says that their seance cancelled out his existence, but he was never seen or heard from to begin with. What did the second fire have to do with anything?
It seems like all is well, but in true horror fashion, it's revealed that an evil still lurks, thus ending it on something of a cliffhanger, but not one so urgent that it's annoying.
If Stephen King really did want to see his story boarded second season come to light, I could see it making an interesting book. This sort of thing isn't without precedent. The most obvious example would be Joss Whedon's Buffy season 8 and Angel season 6 comics, but The 4400 also got a continuation through novels that were published after the show ended.
I'm kind of curious to see the original series now, if only to see how this compares. This series was highly enjoyable, up until the ending anyway, so it would be interesting to see how the original handled the material.
