I think the scenario laid out in the finale would make the basis for a 
good TV series or a movie.  It's actually better than the beginning 
story.  At the start it was really depressing.  Everything was going 
wrong and there was no light at the end of the tunnel.  People don't 
turn on the TVs to get depressed.  Gloom and doom is OK for a movie that 
lasts only 2 or 3 hours, but people won't watch such stuff in a tv series.
