I know I'm way late coming to this discussion...ah like two years late...but I just saw this show last week in Cleveland and have been mesmerized by it. I keep thinking that this show begs for a sequel and some of the things you mentioned in your post are exactly why. I feel like there are so many unanswered questions...who was Chris once he got back to America? How did he and Ellen find love? and most importantly what happened when Chris and Ellen returned to that
When I read the reviews that state that the ending shows Kim as a weak character and a poor portrayal of women, 'the only choice was death'...or something like that. I want to ask how they think the story should have ended. Should Chris have been met at Kim's residence by her lawyer who had drawn up detailed legal papers regarding child and 'companion' support as well as paternity?
