Finally finished watching the eps, and didn't like the lack of Hopper's Groundhog day explanation.

Can't say I understand this. Well I guess I understand a little that you're unhappy with it, but its not like its some big surprise. They very clearly stated all along that any explanation they could come up with would be unsatisfying, so they wouldn't be concentrating on that aspect of it.

Then it's a cheesy gimmick because it gives Hopper info that he probably would never get unless he got killed in the process, so the gimmick keeps him alive, and he retains the information from the previous 'days' until he finally pieces it all together.

According to Breaking News - Development Update: February 26-28 | TheFutonCritic.com
the whole Day Break series will be broadcast off-network.

For a second there I thought I was going to read about a possible 2nd season but no such luck I guess.

Better still, the DVD of the entire series is coming out on March 25, 2008. Here are the details from Amazon.com which has the set at $19.99 for pre-ordering. Not bad for a 4 disc set and a lot better than being at the mercy of ABC and the commercials.

With all the hoopla about DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray, downloadable content, etc. I love the fact that purchasing season sets of TV series that I like on disc gives back a little control to the consumer from the whims of network program directors, advertisers and those extremely annoying and intrusive on-screen identification "bugs" et. al.

Thanks for the update on the DVD set. I liked this show when it aired but didn't see the last few episodes. I'll have to see if Netflix gets this one in or I might have to buy it.

Just a reminder that the Complete Series DVD set is now in the stores for those who want the full story without resorting to the Internet. Well worth the cost, to me for a 4 disc set. (Under $20 at Amazon, for example).
