Kyle is Gone!

If you are a fan of Kyle XY, then you cannot be happy right now. After three seasons, the series finale was the other night and rather than resolving issues it opened up new problems. Clearly, the ABC Family network was not prepared to end the series or the writing would have been very different. So who pulled the plug? Its not all that clear right now.

However, what is odd is that one of the writers, Julie Plec, seemed to have a few years worth of story lines in her head. For example, in an interview she stated:

Declan and Lori, believe it or not, would ultimately end up together. But before that, Lori would head off to New York to pursue a music career and Declan would have gone off on a training sojourn with Foss. After several years of difficult life experience, Lori would return to Seattle and follow in her mother's footsteps, enrolling in school to study psychology --- realizing that it's her true calling. Declan will always have two priorities --- Lori and Kyle. For Battlestar Gallactica fans, he's Colonel Tighe to Admiral Odama. Declan would assume protection of Kyle from Foss and be his best friend and fiercest protector for life. Lori would be the only woman who could understand that, because she feels just as strongly about Kyle.

Sounds like a great story! So why not continue with the show? Needless to say, though I will say it anyway, a "Bring Back Kyle" crowd has already gathered, with petition and all. Its not such a bad idea, but I think ABC Family will need a little while to realize it shot itself in the foot and by that time the actors may have moved on. Kyle XY deserved another season or at least a well-written finale.
