[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 156994, member: 23"] My little Bat-jaunt came to an end last night with the final few episodes and most of the blu-ray bonus features. Fun as it was to see Zsa Zsa Gabor "daaaaaalink"ing her way through the final episode, there was a definite sense of the unfinished. I've watched before, of course and knew the form. But there was a little part of me that hoped it would feel more of an appropriate ending than I remembered. Ida Lupino and Howard Duff releasing the series' primary arch villains (or their body doubles) from prison in the penultimate episode really makes me wish they'd gone all out and blown the budget on a final, hour long episode featuring all the top names. It would probably have ended the same way as that half hour episode - with the villains out cold and on their way back to the pokey - but it would certainly have taken the series out with a bang. But it's probable they weren't even sure that the season finale would be the end of the series. I'm sure the third season's changes were pretty drastic for viewers during the show's first US airing, but that aspect has only ever been theoretical for me. The series had long ended by the time I was born and so I've only ever seen repeats which probably didn't pay much heed to the patterns of the original airing. [/QUOTE]
