What was the American ending? I avoided it like the plague, so I haven't seen anything other than an online ad (which annoyed me so much I was yelling at the screen!).

Basically, it turned out the characters were all astronauts on a mission to Mars. Gene was Sam's dad. They were going on a literal 'gene hunt'. "Sam's" simulation had gone awry, sticking him in "Gene's". It wasn't set up at all in the show. It was like a slap in the face to the fans who'd been following.

My jaw literally dropped in horror when I read this. Man, that is insulting to all sentient life-forms in the known universe. That is so hilariously bad, only Hollywood could come up with something like that. Wow. HIS DAD?!!! Wow.

I died laughing when Gina told me the ending. So horrendous.

:D I cackled like a FOOL.

I feel so bad for anyone who actually bothered with the series. Oh so bad!

I would have too, if I weren't such a bitch.
