i just finished the series and was just curious how everybody liked the ending? did you guys think it was a good way to end it or should it have closed in some other way? i personally loved the whole series and felt the ending was quite touching.

To me it felt forced, rushed, and unmotivated.
Basically this show was a lot like "Married... with children". You have a sequence of episodes and then BANG its over. There is not really a development as such going on.

Well, an example that would match closer would be the secret world of alex mack.

Here's a current, as I write, link to a short vid of the alternate ending:

I think I like it rather better than the one that aired, or at any rate that made it to Hulu Plus, where I just finished a re-watch of the entire series. The ending without the abduction is moving and sweet, and funny, but with it... I think it adds something that was missing. The show could not have made it more clear and Dick and Mary were a perfect match, if often in spite of themselves, and I hated their having to part.
And she'll adjust, and forgive him. She always did, eventually!
I like that this ending is available, because it's like a Choose Your Own Adventure story. Each viewer can choose which way we prefer it, and consider it to have ended that way.
"Wait a minute! The guy's a nihilist, what does he want a birthday for?"
I would have prefered it if they had stayed on earth, they all seemed to like it so much.

I think the ending was bittersweet for me - like some said, it did feel rushed and I do wonder if the show got cancelled, because like they said, there were several references.
I liked the song, but felt bad because they clearly they didn't want to go and left their friends/lovers there. It didn't mention any future meetings (although we know the team worked together through other meetings). I would have liked for them to stay and just live out their lives - at least let Tommy finish college!
I was very moved by the mission song, and when Dick closes his fist to mark the song's ending and simultaneously they are beamed up, it's simply epic.
One thing I've noticed is that when Kristin says "I'm leaking", she's actually cracking up instead of crying, and to cover it up she hides her face against Dick's chest. Then when she reemerges she's crying. Has everyone else noticed that?

Let your money work for you on the financial markets.
I also liked the mission song, especially the"something something something something spaceship!
shareThe ending was okay, but felt way too rushed. But at least it got a real ending.
Also I prefer the way it actually ended, as opposed to the alternate abduction ending. It's so cruel.
Just watched the ending and I'm disappointed. It was sudden and sad. They just leave?
Quite sad for Mary and Dick imo. They should have stayed on earth.
