'Awake' creator answers burning questions
26 May 2012 11:33 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Fans of NBC’s Awake have now had time to process the series finale (watch it below) and form their own theories about where the show would have gone had there been a second season. We asked creator Kyle Killen to weigh in. Here are 10 things you need to know:
1. There really was an accident, this wasn’t all a dream. Some fans saw the final scene — Britten (Jason Isaacs) seeing both Rex and Hannah in the house — and mistook it as a copout ending revealing the detective had dreamt the entire 13 episodes. “The idea that we’re saying nothing happened, »

Awake Finale: What Do You Think Happened?
NBC's Awake concluded its thirteen episode run last night with a thriller of a finale, ending with a last scene that packed so much emotion and heart that it was one of my favorite moments of television this year. As Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) walked into his kitchen to find not only his son, Rex, but also his wife Hannah, it was emotionally satisfying and heartwarming for me as a viewer. Throughout the first season of Awake, I have grown to care so deeply about Michael and his relationships with both Rex and Hannah that having the final shot of the series being Michael smiling at the two of them and simply saying "I'm good...I'm perfect" could not have felt more fulfilling.
However, the fact that both Rex and Hannah were there waiting for Michael does beg the question: what exactly happened »

Awake‘s few but hugely passionate viewers came away from Thursday’s series finale with many questions. Of course, we’re still wondering which reality was in fact real.

And what twists were on tap for the Season 2 we sadly never shall see? (Hint: baby versus babe!) TVLine invited series creator Kyle Killen to field some burning questions.

'Awake' Season 2: Does the NBC series still have a shot at another season?
24 May 2012 10:35 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
NBC's "Awake" went from mind-bending to mind-blowing in its Season 1 finale on Thursday (May 24), which also marks the show's series finale. The Kyle Killen-created series was among those that got the axe from NBC in May.
Jason Isaacs starred as Michael Britten, a man living in two realities -- one in which his wife (Laura Allen) survives a car accident while his son (Dylan Minnette) died and another in which the opposite is true. While an innovative concept, it may have been too clever for its own good. The show debuted to around 6 million viewers but steadily declined week after week, falling to around 2 million viewers just before its cancellation.
Fans of the show are hoping "Awake" can find a second life on another network, but Killen doesn't sound optimistic.
"We're open to another home for the show but the chances are extraordinarily remote, so it's probably best to »

'Awake' series finale: Which one of Michael Britten's realities is all a dream?
24 May 2012 3:55 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Awake" creator Kyle Killen and star Jason Isaacs have both said all along that one of Michael Britten's realities is a dream -- either the one in which his wife (Laura Allen) survived a car accident but his son (Dylan Minnette) died or the one in which the reverse is true. And Thursday (May 24), fans will hopefully get a satisfying answer to the single-season series' mystery during the finale airing at 10 p.m. on NBC.
"We left nothing off the table," Isaacs tells EW.com. "It feels like a real ending. Nobody who's watched the show is going to come up and want their money back in the street."
Anyone expecting a definitive answer to "Which one of these realities is real?" may be wanting their viewing time back, though, as Killen hints that we probably won't get one.
"The episode certainly feeds one of those theories," Killen says. "When we wrote the episode, »

'Awake' series finale will be satisfying, Jason Isaacs and Kyle Killen promise
24 May 2012 1:34 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Jason Isaacs admits he finds it “strangely ironic and amusing” to be promoting tonight’s season finale of NBC’s Awake (10 p.m. Et), given that the show has been canceled. But receiving so many calls after the first hour of the two-part finale aired last week — and ended with his Det. Michael Britten shot in the reality in which his wife survived the fatal car accident, and placed in a police holding cell in the reality in which his son lived — recharged him. “I think we burned briefly but brightly,” he tells EW. “The fact that we’re not »

'Awake' Series Finale Sneak Peek
23 May 2012 1:32 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Yes, "Awake" was canceled by NBC and won't live to see a second season of split realities for Detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs), but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the finale of what's been a truly intriguing season of television.
"Awake" says goodbye to both timelines forever this week with its series finale (Thurs., May 24, 10 p.m. Et on NBC), but not before we get some more action and maybe a few answers -- we've got an exclusive sneak peek at a particularly gruesome scene, above.
Last we saw Britten, he was running from a gun-wielding Det. Ed Hawkins (Kevin Weisman), leaving a trail of blood behind him. Now he's one of the Lapd's most wanted, but he can't keep running to find the answers that will prove his theories until he gets stitched up. Paging Dr. Lee (Bd Wong)!

The Who, What, When, Where, And Why Of Awake’s Cancellation
19 May 2012 7:59 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Or, why I’ll never be fooled by NBC again.
So, this is the last time that I will speak or write about Awake. In fact, this might be the last time anybody issues any type of missive in regards to NBC’s most recent series cancellation.
To say that I had high hopes for Awake would be an exercise in understatement. I’ve been slathering this show with praise since months before its premiere date was announced. Now I will offer my reasons as to why I fell so hard for the show, and why it fell so hard once it aired.
Who is responsible for Awake‘s failure?
Well, it wasn’t my fault, that’s for goddamn sure. And I’m pretty sure that it isn’t the fault of Kyle Killen, the series’ creator. Killen had a novel concept for a series, which he equipped with a compelling structure. »

'Awake' turns Britten badass as series nears end. Come back!

If you started watching NBC’s Awake and fell off along the way (shame), you may want to tune back in. Last night, the series aired the first hour of its two-part finale. Watch it below. The second and now final hour of the series airs May 24. If you’ve been waiting to see Jason Isaacs’ Det. Michael Britten kick some butt, it’s go time. Some viewers never warmed to the conspiracy-theory aspect of the show — who was behind the car accident that, depending on which of the two realities Britten is awake in, either claimed the life of his wife or his son? »

‘Awake’ Season 1, Episode 12: ‘Two Birds’ Recap
18 May 2012 7:18 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
As the creator of Awake, Kyle Killen, put it on Twitter, “Awake is canceled, but still on. Zombie show!” So, in that respect, continuing to cover the late series is somewhat bittersweet. But with ‘Two Birds,’ the writers do seem to be heading toward some kind of resolution that has the unenviable task of explaining the two realities while also tying in the corrupt cop conspiracy in such a way that it doesn’t feel as though the show was waiting for season 2 to be completely resolved.
Ever since ‘The Little Guy,’ Awake has been hinting at a scheme surrounding Det. Britten’s accident (Jason Isaacs) that has Captain Harper (Laura Innes) and what we now know is another precinct’s captain named Carl Kessel (Mark Harelik) as major players. Apparently, the whole thing started when ...

Awake Review: Perilous Positions
18 May 2012 12:12 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
All realities collided in "Two Birds" - and things aren’t looking so good for Britten.
While I thought the conspiracy might be contained in the red reality, it’s looking more and more likely that may not be the case, and it shouldn’t be. The repercussions of the accident ripple out in both realities, and they both have lasting consequences on Britten because of it. Therefore, it then becomes a question of who can Britten trust, because he can’t involve his family, and both Dr. Lee and Dr. Evans refused to believe his predicament.
It’s hard not to blame them. Britten looks like someone who’s finally experienced a mental break. Jason Isaacs portrayed it physically as well. Many times a character that suffers a mental break still looks completely put together. Michael, on the other hand, isn’t clean-shaven and doesn’t look like he’s slept in days. »

Tonight, NBC’s Awake begins its two-part series finale. (It concludes May 24.)
In the clip below, we see Bird (Steve Harris), Michael’s partner in the reality where his son is alive, go visit Dr. Evans (Cherry Jones), to ask her if he has a reason to be concerned about Michael (Jason Isaacs).

Jason Isaacs on 'hysterical and emotional' final episodes of 'Awake' [Video]
15 May 2012 11:56 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
"Whenever I've won an award or been nominated for an award, I had known the day the ink was drying, and it's always the script," says Jason Isaacs. The actor has two chances for Emmy attention this year: he starred in the PBS miniseries "Case Histories" as well as NBC's drama "Awake." "Case Histories," which premiered last June in the UK and in October in America, is based on thee novels by Kate Atkinson and follows the investigations of Jackson Brodie (Isaacs), a police inspector-turned-private eye. Though it will compete as a miniseries at the Emmys, the drama is set to return with more episodes later this year. "Awake," however, struggled to find an audience despite the praise of critics and was officially canceled by NBC on May 11; its last episode airs on May 24. On the series, Isaacs plays Det. Michael Britten, a Los Angeles homicide detective caught between two »
