The alternate ending to the season 2 finale of "Jericho"

Back in March when Jericho was nearing it’s end, we wrote a bit about the fact that the producers of the show filmed two different endings in case the series wasn’t canceled.

Sadly, we all got to watch the one that gave us a nice conclusion. It wasn’t something we wanted to see, but with the series likely over, they chose to go with that one.

Well, now the alternate, second ending to season 2 is out on YouTube and definitely worth a watch. The video leaves the obvious possibility of a major U.S. Civil War and the rescue of Hawkins.

Who knows, maybe we’ll still get to see that story someday.

We heard it last night during the episode on a local news promo, but I forgot to tape it. Earlier today, Good Morning America played ~~three~~ two alternate endings to the Lost season four finale that aired last night.

I haven’t watched them yet, been a bit busy this morning, but I’m here to pass it on to you.

Watch them and tell us what you think!

Two alternate endings for Cloverfield hit the web

On Friday our traffic spiked a bit for a few Cloverfield posts that we did awhile back, and I was curious why suddenly the ending of the movie was a hot topic again.

It appears the DVD is on the way, and two Cloverfield alternate endings for the movie are part of the special features.

As always, and what is beautiful about the internet, these two endings are already available on YouTube and posted below for your enjoyment.

I actually have not seen them yet, as I’m pretty slammed today, so let us know what you think if you check these endings out.

Alternate 'I Am Legend' ending hits the web, is it better?

I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie I Am Legend, which my review can explain in more detail, but mainly it was the fact that the ending didn’t copy what happened in the original book by Richard Matheson.

As a word of warning, this blog contains spoilers for the end of I Am Legend the movie and book, so don’t read any further if you haven’t seen it yet.

So now, let’s examine the original finish of the movie.

You have the big zombie attack on the house, and Will Smith takes the girl and son with him to the basement, into a glass-walled room. There is also one of the zombies there that he was trying to heal. The zombies make their way to the basement, Smith sends the woman and her son out the little trap door, while Smith waits for the monsters to bust through, a live grenade in hand.

The mother and son make it out safely and continue north to a fort where other humans are alive. The end. Smith dies.

I never liked it because while he does die in the book, he does it with the help of a woman who is an evolved form of the zombie living in a society filled with her kind. Smith scares them because of what he represents: Immunity to their disease. Instead of being hung out in public she gives him a pill to end his life. He dies, the last of his kind.

He is Legend. Man is now Legend. That was the point.

Okay, no one seems like they’ll even do the ending like that, but this new alternate one that comes off the Special Edition DVD that hits stores on March 18th is a bit better for me.

Essentially it looks like the zombies are more than just zombies. They can think and feel, and the reason they come there is because Smith captured their leader’s woman. Or something like that.

Watch it for yourself and tell me what you think. Do you like it better than the original?
