Nice (season) finale. All in all, my wife and I really enjoyed this series, and are looking forward to seeing what they do as a follow-up. I don't expect, however, that the characters will get mashed into other Verne stories, though the reference to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a hoot!

Just finished watching the season finale. I enjoyed it as well.

There is a nice interview in Salon which discusses many of the divergences with the original novel and why they made some of them.

In addition.

I think they all three realize what they've just had, they can't have that just being in London and normal again. The only way they can do that again is to have another adventure. My instinct was to have the three of them on their own again.

Regarding 20,000 Leagues

I think we probably won't be doing that because Disney is doing a massive-budget version of that.
