Touch Season 1 Finale
This was a brilliant finale to a new show that has a unique
concept and storyline. The only complaint any fan could have at the end of
Season 1 is that it was too short. Just twelve episodes. The fans have been
left hungry for more and the anticipation for the second season is pretty
strong.
The finale once again showed how everyone is interconnected.
And characters from previous episodes were masterfully woven into context in
the finale. The ‘Invisible Prince’ made an appearance, helping Jake to avoid
the “Officers of the Empire”. Don’t you just love that guy? :) And there was
Arnie. He helps Martin out by selling him a gun. That, of course, led to the
moment where we saw Kiefer Sutherland holding that gun, his hands shaking,
truly looking like he had never seen a gun before. Fans of ‘24’ and ‘Jack Bauer’
could only have smiled there.
The finale saw Martin losing custody of his son, only to
have Clea aid Jake in running away to his dad from the facility. And we had
Avram assisting the father and son in getting away from New York.
Amelia’s mother was the significant new entry. She believes
her daughter is alive and is still looking for her. We now know it to be true
as Martin has sufficient evidence of Amelia being alive. Rather, had it. The
proof has been taken away from him.
A Japanese family was in the limelight too. Losing much in
the tsunami, they are given some much needed relief by a series of events.
Touch Season One has ended with Martin and Jake
in Los Angeles. The last scene was probably the best of the lot. With the
backdrop of the ocean, Martin and Jake meet up with Amelia’s mom. And as it
hits Martin that this is the reason they had to be in LA at that precise
moment, Jake slides his hand into his dad’s. And that was the scene that truly
touched all.
