RSS'Kyle XY' series cliffhanger leaves viewers wanting
Despite the warning from "Kyle XY" producers that the series would end in a cliffhanger, it was still a shock to see the magnitude of what was left up in the air.
Spoilers ahead designed by Latnok. You've been warned.
Without going into the entire episode blow by blow, let's just say that yes, the producers had planned for a season finale, but had expected the show to be renewed, not canceled. Thus, the open ending. Unfortunately, ABC Family didn't follow through with its end of the bargain.. It's frustrating, to say the least.
The only satisfying events that happened in the episode:
- Smarmy, sneering Nate gets knocked out ... twice. I want a bigger send-off for him, but once again, I'll take it.
- Jessi and Amanda actually square off, with Amanda showing a bit of
steel -- first by taking out Nate and then by confessing that she's
going to ask Kyle to take her back. Wow, actual personality!
- We discover that not only is Latnok continuing Adam Baylin's experiment, but they're planning to create a whole slew of little Kyle XYs a la "The Boys From Brazil." Creepy, but intriguing.
- After getting in a snit when Andy leaves him, Josh makes up with her via webcam. They'll try the long-distance cyber thing. I can deal with that.
Of course, these small plot victories pale in comparison to the huge cliffhanger. You know what I'm talking about. Yes, just as Kyle is about to give in to his dark side and finish off Cassidy, the evil one reveals that they share the same mom. Yup. Kyle, meet your biological half brother.
Cut to black.
Dammit!
UPDATE: Zap2it's Korbi Ghosh talked to ABC Family, and they have no plans to make "Kyle XY" webisodes or a movie to offer closure.
What did you think? How can ABC Family redeem itself? Will a special Kyle XY movie be enough? What other stuff did you enjoy or want from the finale?

Oh, he is lying big time.
and ABC Family will not give us any closure by having a Kyle XY movie..
That's it for me and ABC Family...
Except for LOST I watch nothing now on either station...
Kyle XY was a guilty pleasure show for me but I saw and enjoyed every episode. I am getting sick and tired of shows being cancelled without getting a proper send off, especially from abc (Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone). I would be thrilled if there was one more Kyle XY episode/movie to allow the show to wrap up properly. After 3 great years, I think those involved with the show deserve a chance to finish it the way they want. Come on abc!
For my money, ABC Family's programming really offers very little for the "family". At least Kyle XY gave teens and adults a show they both could enjoy together. I'd say that by not renewing Kyle, ABC Family will lose more viewers than they can probably afford. Don't be suprised if they do a reversal and bring the show back, at least as a movie or shortened season to tie up all the loose ends. If they don't, boycott them and all their shows, and throw your support behind any network that shows an interest in picking up the show.
I have not seen this episode yet and i can't wait too see it, please someone pick up this show alreaddy!
As far as I'm concerned, the only way ABC Family can redeem itself is by admitting what a huge mistake they've made and giving us a proper 4th season. However, since hell isn't likely to freeze over anytime soon, I'm hoping another network will take notice of our mounting "Save the Tub campaign." Surely there's a forward-thinking executive out there who will recognize what a gem KXY is and appreciate its millions of loyal fans around the globe. One way or another, we've simply got to get this incredible show back on the air where it belongs!
Please Somebody pick up this show already, i haven't seen this episode yet but why oh why is it ended :(, it's over please somebody pick this show up!
I refuse to watch anymore shows on ABC. What a horrible way to treat loyal fans after all these seasons. Network deserves to be boycotted.
First Middleman and now Kyle. I know Kyle was nothing like the great Middleman but I enjoyed Kyle alot and now with both gone, there is no reason to watch ABC Family.
Also except for LOST, ABC lost me when they cancelled Eli and Pushing Daisies. So both of them have lost me as a viewer now.
I can't believe that ABC Family is ending this series like this. No closure what so ever for the devoted fans that have watched this show from day one. Kyle XY made ABC Family a household word. Now they toss out a quality show because of lower ratings which was ABCF's fault as they didn't promote the show! We have people joining kylexy.net every day that did not know the show had come back and now they find it is cancelled. Way to go ABC Family. And that blog today about Kyle XY going on and "extended vacation", what the heck is that all about???
Help us move Kyle XY to a network that will treat it the way it deserves to be treated. Help with the letter writing campaign to save the show at:
