Loved the first half of the series but not the second half

This series started off with so much promise and I fell in loved with it right from the start after it got to a certain point like Jack and Julia sneaking around more and more behind Michael's back it just became so repetive and boring to me. Which is why I pretty much quit watching. I actually started watching Wicked Wicked Games instead which I found more enjoyable. I was tempted to watch the finale last night but after reading Jane's excellent recap I didn't even bother. Though one thing I must say is I'm a bit disappointed that Caroline didn't end up with Jack and Julia. They would of made a better family for Caroline instead of Eric and Natalie. For the most part I did enjoy watching WOM it just fell flat for me towards the middle and I didn't even bother with the end.

We were wondering what happened to you?

Hi Laulau!!!! Welcome back. WE missed you.

The show actually got very good towards the end. Every show end with a big "ohmygawd!" moment. It really picked up speed the last 2 weeks.

However, the show did flounder for a while in the middle, and they could've used that time at the end for a cleaner wrap up of loose ends. Less Julia whining about Jack's disloyalty and more resolution at the end.

I agree with you about Caroline. I would've rather seen her end up with Jack and Julia. I still don't think Natalie is stable. Plus, I didn't get the impression that Eric and Natalie would stay together for the long run. there was a scene in the end in which Eric basically accused Natalie of using Caroline for her own purposes to find out what happened to her son.

However, I think Caroline's presence in Natalies' life was suppose to represent a replacement for her son's life. Michael took Nick, Natalie gets Caroline.

I would've rather seen a montage of Jack and Julia together after the Michael experience.
