Felt exactly the same.

Agree with most of what you say and I think, with 12 episodes and a lot to cover, storylines were rushed which was a shame. There was/is a lot more to do with Erica/Kai relationship and because he was so pretty I'm really sad that Kai is gone. I also think Erica should have it as a regret that she didnt have more fun with him rather than waste all season with "grandad Ethan" who just irritated me to the point that I was hoping he'd disappear.  Worry about those people who were routing for them as a couple.

I said after about the 5th episode that Erica was being groomed as a therapist. Her going through that door at the end is I suspect the entry to her own office as Dr Erica.

I liked Kai's presence in Erica's life ... I felt really bad that he's gone. You're right about Ethan though, the relationship just got boring and boring ... I wished there were more to Erica and Kai's story ... is there a chance of that happening in future seasons?

I completely agree. One thing that this show is really missing is a good sense of 'what are the rules?' of time travel. When she goes back and changes things, does everyone around her suddenly get different memories? Does she disappear/get added to family photos? How exactly did it work when Dr. Tom changed it so that she didn't leave the web start up, became a rich person, and then lost it all? Do all of her family/friends now remember that she was once loaded?  I really think this show needs to better express the consequences of her therapy to those around her.

Like everyone else here I seem to have kind of fallen under the spell of Kai :P I don't think I'm being too hopeful when I say I think he will return next season; his involvement in this season makes him seem like more than an in-and-out character (although when he first came in I honestly saw him in that way). Plus that little memory montage of Kai and Erica at the end suggests a little something more to see in the future with those two. Actually, somewhere in the back of my mind, I got the feeling that her walking through the door at the end was her going to visit Kai in the past or something, especially since Dr Tom had this sort of resigned look on his face, like he knew Erica was in love with Kai and he'd have to let her see him at some point..... or have I been wishfully thinking waaaaaay too much XD?

I enjoyed the season found it a touch bumpy but rather than nit pick I'd like to congratulate the emotional honesty in Erica and the whole company of talented compeling actors.  That breakup scene with Ethan was so real!  (thought I'd buried that memory) This is a very hard show to write and produce not technoically but intellectually and the last episode had so much intelligence and heart it made me wish for more this season and certainly look forward to next season, because it's so great to see aspects of young Canadian character on display.  Thanks.  

*visit Kai in the FUTURE

Bad typo.

finale was great. i hope they make a season 3. would hate it if they stopped after that cliffhanger

Agree with some things: there quite a few loose strings in the time-travelling logic (I know it's difficult to build a logical world around but... that's the idea). Though, I think  time travelling is just an excuse and not the core of the show (it's not Bradbury)...

Ethan is boring and conservative... but this was not him at the First Season! Why making him become this? I miss the original chemistry.

Went back and watched the first 3 episodes of season 1 the next day after the finale. Probably the best Canadian show i've ever seen. The writing is off the charts, and Erin Karpluk and Michael Riley are  fantastic.

As much as I love this show and would love to see it go on, you get the sense that this is the end of the road, that's why they tied everything up in this last episode, just in case they don't get renewed. Erica came full circle.

Some, i think, miss the point, Ethan was made boring for a reason, to show that they have "fundamental differences" as Erica says.

If you remember the second or third episode of season 2, Erica says she is terrified that Ethan will break up with her because she "waited for so long for someone like him to come along" but by making him so boring and safe, she realizes that he wasn't what she wanted or needed.

Its hard to see now what season 3 would be, Erica doesn't really need to time travel back for her regrets, going through the door symbolizes that she has gone back to real time and went through the door that is not following Dr. Tom, ergo, she is on her own with the knowledge she gained from him and all the experiences.

If the show does return, then Erica aligning with Julianna as her business partner was a calculated move, because that has developed into one of the most interesting characters on the show, Reagan Pasternak is also a fantastic actress. If it does go on, would like to see them explore more interaction with Ericas mom and dad, Gary and Barbra Strange and her sister, Samantha.

Forget the over-analysis, that's such a waste. Basically, this is one of the few great Canadian shows every produced with compelling acting (esp, Erin) and a story line that has matured right up to the last episode of the second season.

The endless quest for one's destiny and path in life and to understand that you must find a way to listen to rhythms of your heart is such an important life lesson. This shows resonates this theme as it winds down to the end of season 2. If anyone has read the "Alchemist", they will understand what I am trying to convey.

I also love the song (Alien) that Sebastian Piggott sang during the last episode. Very nice and appropriate. Just purchased it on iTunes.

This all being said, I really hope there is an creative season 3 coming in 2010.

one way Kai could remain in the show is if he and Erica both became therapists and end up working together a lot. SInce he is from the future they could have an older kai whos now a therapist work along side with Erica for a new season. I hope the door leads to Ericas own office.

i was excited about this show at first, but i've been trying to figure it out since day one and now it just feels like it's dragging. this show is worst than "lost" sometimes with the clues and the mindfucks. i love this show, i think the writing is incredible but i really just want to know how it ends!

ok, these are the clues i've come up with so far: erica was in the hospital for a reaction when she met dr. tom. kai in his present self is in a coma from an OD...dr. tom tried to commit suicide by jumping off a building. the stories haven't gone into depth as much with dr. fred and the other female doctor (i forget her name) enough to get their full stories, but i'm seeing a pattern here. i have thought of a few possibilities about what the ending to this show will be, though some may be a little far fetched.

A.) a dream. that's why they don't explain how things from the past/future add up. they are dreaming this in their comas and/or dream traveling rather than time traveling. thats why doctor tom just appears, and has "magic powers" (as in looking doors with his mind, opening doors made of chalk, etc). maybe he is a dream traveler and the hallway at the end of the show is the many doors to dreams that she can enter. maybe her "sessions" are actually her subconscious regrets that she is revisiting under unconsciousness or even hypnosis. remember when she lists her regrets in the first episode and says "these are the ones that keep me awake at night"?

B.) they are all dead. this whole thing is a test to determine their fate. their souls are in a balance and they are given the chance to help people and do things right, and if they pass, they become angels or "therapists" and they get to judge/help others. this would explain why she can't bring leo back, because he's already been through this process. she asks dr. tom in an episode if he was angel and then the song "calling all angels" came on in the background. anyone else remember this?

C.) nothing in this show ever happened. it's a book that erica is writing, possibly in college. i can most likely see them going with this option because literally nothing needs to be explained or dragged out. it's quick and sweet. they can explain it all in 10 minutes and even lead up to a spin-off series.

k so , the whole kai thing..you got it all wrong bud. he didnt remember her cause the future kai left him , so the past kai has no idea about her...the future kai will remember her and all...also hes gone on his new contract its not like he still working at the coffee shop and ignoring erica when shes there so theres not a big difference.    and i hope theres a season 3 , i bet erica would need a lot of help when shes setting up her new company with julian... :)

This show is fantastic. The acting is superb. Come on CBC, bring it back for Season 3.

I think in season 3 she's going to go on to become a therapist herself. The choosing a door metaphor might have a double meaning. It could be her choosing to help people and getting an office like Tom and Fred. It would keep the show interesting if there was a season 3. Otherwise I think it would get a bit self centred and whiney if it's always about her and her problems.

I really hope they aren't therapists. So boring. I love that she is just a regular everyday girl that I can relate too. If she starts as a therapist, I don't think it'd appeal to the same market.

I like the theme of the show, and I don't believe changing it's core, like some of you had suggested as possible directions, will really do much for the show. That would be something that the Americans would do.

Great job CBC, and awesome job Erica, and Kai. You've made Canadian Television prideful!

Does anyone else think that maybe Kai isn't gone forever? Assuming there is a season 3... there's a chance he could come back! Isn't he trying to be a better person? Didn't he think Erica wanted Ethan? What if he pretended not to know her? I just got this sinking suspicion something was up.

I'm from England and a huge fan of this show.  Season 1 has only just finished here but I was so hooked; I got a friend who lives in the US to record and send me Season 2!  When Season 2 ended, it was bitter sweet; I loved how it had all come full circle with Erica but now she's the one in control of her destiny but I fully agree with what was said about Kai.  If young Kai has no memory of Erica and all that happened; how did it change his future?!  Surely the past experience shapes what he's to become; therefore he has to know what has happened to him.  What I would have like to have seen is him remembering Erica but suddenly acting childish and his age...  it all got wrapped up a bit too quick for me.  However, I have to fully commend Erin Karpluk; bearing in mind, she's in almost every scene, I've never once become bored of her which proves what a great actress she is.  I really hope there's a Season 3 as I think there's a good story line to come as Erica progresses to being a therapist herself.  Bring it on CBC!  :0) x

I have been fully entertained by almost every episode.  I don't think Kai is gone forever.  Erin Karpluk IS an awesome actress, I too have never been bored with her.  We need to get more people watching, so that CBC will have more money to more fully elaborate the many potential story lines.

Love this show and so glad Canadian TV has improved to the point where there are many shows I now watch.  This show was like my weekly therapy session so it better come back though it would be soo Canadian to cancel something just as it was getting popular.  Glad to hear it is being exported.  Kai could very well be back as more needs to be explored there.  I see Erica opening her publishing company and being successful on her own terms.  Let's not forget that she also wants to become a writer so I don't see the therapist angle happening.  Some shows are a bit weak in parts but for the most part you could rewatch these shows and get different ideas from the twists and turns.  Brilliant and keep up the great work all!

As an addict I am astonished at how many of the loyal viewers complain and parse the story lines, characters  and plot twists that make up this exceptional series. Maybe it's the modern mania for deconstruction, or the need to feel in charge, but greater satisfaction can be felt by trusting the creators/writers, and letting them lead the way. Here we have a show with delightful and consistent characters, intelligent plotting and scripting, unique and mysterious devices and a great use of Toronto locations, and people want to break it apart and understand how the mechanism works!

Come on, nobody gets shot, there are no drug deals gone wrong, no DNA is analyzed in twenty seconds, no corpse is discovered in the trunk of a car... no canned laughter, no inane chatter, minimal product placement... why moan? Here are real, relatable people doing unreal and remarkable things with time and space - it's fantasy, folks; it doesn't hew to logical rules! Some of the time-travel episodes have different rules than others. Whatever works is how we are to understand them. It's all for the growth via her therapy. I mean, does Erica still have her Master's after the tongue lashing in the last episode? Does it matter?

Of all the shows on TV today, Being Erica is the one that is easiest to watch again and again, because Karpluk plays a real woman, the supporting acting is tremendous and there are many details that only pay off with repeated viewing.

So my advice is not to drain the fun and mystery, but to revel in it. Think of what personal regrets you would redo, and why. Enjoy the ride, and hope for more seasons to come.

I LOVE the show, but I just read somewhere that season 3 might not make it, and I am devastated!! :-(

As for Kay, sure he might appear again in the future if there is future for the amazing show that Being Erica is.

I just... I feel like it is ingenious to show us how our past experience should guide us in our lives but somehow we forget some lessons and repeat those mistakes over and over until we get some perspective. Oh, how I have prayed for a Dr. Tom. Doesn't hurt to time-travel either. :-)

Finally, I personally thought that the finale was brilliant and I loved the Alice moment with the doors, I like that. And it really reminded me how other people can't really tell you how to live your life. So, if there is no season 3, I shall keep re-watching the first two seasons...

Am I the only one who gives her own therapist grief, with gratuitous comparisons to Dr Tom? "Erica's therapist really DOES send her back in time, why can't YOU do that for ME?" LOVE the show, LOVE Erin.

Why is Season 3 not in CBC`s line up so far!?!?!?! The show's they have seem interesting and all but i need me some Being Erica!!! How could they cut it on that cliffhanger like that! CBC I need answers!! I hope it comes back out sometime soon.

At first I thought she was gonna go 10 years later and find Kai. They would be the same age and everything. But the thing with her turning into a therapist works too though. I hope Kai comes back and that there actually is a season 3!

you were asking why kai didnt remember anything of the last few months? because none of it actually happened for kai the first time around. like they've been saying, you don't change the past.

This series is gold! CBC should listen to its viewers and the success of the first 2 seasons and bring it back for a 3rd season! Erin Karpluk shines in this role. The writing is fantastic, and I want more!!!! Anxiously waiting for Being Erica Season 3. Come on, say yes already! And for the love of God, bring Cassidy (Anna Silk) back already, will ya!

When they go back, they do actually change things. For example erica went back to that 'perfect day' with Leo and Sam, later on it shows Sam with the little snow globe they bought that day. What I don't get is how Kai doesn't remember Erica. Does he not remember anything from the past few months (because wouldn't that freak him out?) or did the time-travel-ness just block out the Erica aspect of his memories, because most of his time spent talking to her was about the therapy, and he wasn't supposed to know about the therepy then?

Oh well, I don't care if that big never gets explained. I just want season three! I love this show!

I loooooove being erica :) And I feel exactly the same about the time travelling and Ethan and Kai.

I agree with IAmAwesome: Erica was probably written out of Kais memory, because she had a connection with therapy. I am curious if he then does know how he met Erica's sister.

I really really really hope there will be a season 3. They can't just end it like this. I want to know more about dr. Tom! I want to hear more of his quotes! I want to see how Erica will lead her business! And I want to keep seeing Kai with Erica. I liked them together :-)

Does anyone of you guys know if there will be a season three? In my country the broadcasting of season 2 has ended and next week there isn't any being erica anymore.. AND I LOVE THAT SHOW SO MUCH!! :'-(

Is there really a risk that CBC won't bring it back for a third season?!! That's crazy! Its such an amazing show and so many of my friends, male and female, watch it.  It would be wrong to get rid of it. Its one of the best shows they have. I was upset when 'This is Wonderland' was cancelled; I may boycott if Being Erica follows suit!

Where is Bieng Erica? I've been looking for it, and now I read they may not have a season 3? Are they insane? Finally, a creative, well written, well acted , (and so on and so on------) series, and they are thinking of not bringing it back? I also may boycott CBC.

I love, love, this show.

I think only Kai from the future can remember Erica because Kai from the past was really Kai from the future, therefore the real Kai from the past can't remember her. I think season 3 is going to be Erica as a therapist, as many other people here think, but maybe she'll be Kai's therapist or something?

I 28 watch with my mum 49 and she thinks Erica is actually  in a coma in the hospital still and all this is happening in her mind.. Maybe through the door she is her seeing herself in the Coma.. hmmm... and she gets to choose to wake up or maybe go on as yes, Dr. Erica.. or something.. Or she has died and now that she see's her life is ok goes onto be one of the Dr.'s .. hmmm...

Erica coming full circle was brilliant. If season 3 isn't picked up(God forbid), I would consider this an appropriate ending... Unlike many other series. I have a feeling the doorway leads to Erica's own office, as Dr. Tom stated that she was "ready" which was referenced a lot between himself and HIS therapist, Dr. Naadiah. It would make sense that therapy works in a "pay it forward" type of compensation. Also, it would add some more creative elements, and more growth in her character, as she'd be learning how to be a therapist, acting as a therapist to another, still being in therapy, and/or possibly starting her own business venture. There are many directions the show could take. Oh, also, Dr. Fred's office was brilliant! Favorite office so far! I didn't much care for her love interests this season, as pretty as they may have been. I look forward to a season 3, as I'm quite optimistic.

I search being erica season 3 and the results were saying that there is a strong possibility and that they are in the early stages of development so its sounding good. ;)

I dont agree that they should make erica ' Dr. erica' because it will ruin the fact that people relate to her. and also somebody was saying about there being mystery surrounding dr tom and we know too much for erica to be mysterious now dont we.

i also really like ethan in season 1 but he's so boring and im glad that erica broke up with him cos i think that she can find somebody that atually supports her decisions

I love this show. I need more! We get it late here in US. Season 2 finale cor us was just a few days ago, but I do have CBC so whenever season 3 starts I'm on it!!

I saw Being Erica on Hulu. I wonder if the meaning behind this show that  Erica was dead and having a life review?

God I miss that show...

My dad and I love the Show here in Australia!

Deep, Powerful insight and entertaining. Brilliant. I am a huge fan and hope the show continues for many years.

I will be buying Season 1 & 2 to support the show.
