Kyle XY 8/28/2006 (S01E10) "Endgame"

[dswallow]

Everybody loves Kyle. It'd be amusing if that turned out to be the secret power that worries people. :)

I'm gonna miss this show; can't wait till next year when season two starts. I wish they'd do more than 10 episodes in a season, though. It's just not satisfying for the season to be so short.

[Graymalkin]

Oh, so it's been renewed? Good. Now if they'll just renew "Three Moons Over Milford" and "Angela's Eyes," I'll be quite satisfied with this summer's crop of "off-brand" (non-major network) series.

Great episode. But talk about a cliff-hanger!

What are the plans for "XX"? What were the plans for Kyle, for that matter?

And why would his "parents" be so open about their plan in the car?

[Havana Brown]

Man, I hate these long Soprano-esque waits! :mad:

[mportuesi]

What are the plans for "XX"? What were the plans for Kyle, for that matter?

And why would his "parents" be so open about their plan in the car?

The evil company (Madacorp) that created Kyle regards him as a failed experiment. My guess is that Kyle was genetically engineered to be a super-advanced soldier, but got everything except for the aggressive personality. XX is probably intended to fix that "flaw".

Kyle's "parents" were obviously working for Adam, and were trying to get Kyle away from Madacorp to protect his life. Kyle realized he had to go with them in order to protect the Treagers. Both Kyle and his fake parents knew what the score was when they were both in the car, since Kyle's opening line was to compliment them on what good liars they were. At that point, why wouldn't the fake parents be open.

I had guessed that Kyle would eventually meet Adam, but I'm surprised it happened so soon.

[Tangent]

I'd say the "parents" knew he was on to them but was going to play along when he told them of his memories of their vacation...

[mportuesi]

Kyle has no memories. Both sides (Kyle and his "parents") know that. So both sides know that any "memories" from Kyle have to be lies. When the parents acknowledge his fake memories, they're also signaling to Kyle that they're liars too.

So it makes perfect sense that both sides would know the whole thing is just one big game. The big question was whether Kyle's "parents" were there to kill him or rescue him. Up until Kyle made up his childhood memories, I thought they were out to kill him.

[dago]

it's amazing how much alike he and adam look.. that dude was on a soap right?

[Tangent]

Speaking of the 'XX', what does everyone think about the radio report of an amnesiac female that washed up by the river in the pilot episode? Something that'll come back into play next season, a red herring, or something they just decided not to follow up on after the inital ep...?

I don't even remember that.... :eek:

Correct.
J Eddy Peck (Adam) was on "All My Children" for a couple of years.

[drew2k]

Correct.
J Eddy Peck (Adam) was on "All My Children" for a couple of years.And "way back", he was on "Dallas" for a year.

[drew2k]

Great episode. But talk about a cliff-hanger!

What are the plans for "XX"? What were the plans for Kyle, for that matter?

And why would his "parents" be so open about their plan in the car?Because Foss (who all along I said was a "Good Guy!") explained to Kyle what was going on. Foss arranged for the "parents" to take Kyle "home", (1) so that the Tragers would be protected, and (2) so that the "parents" would take Kyle to Adam, where Kyle would be protected.

I thought it was a great ending, but I think there was one mistake, or maybe a scene was cut? A couple of scenes before Kyle went to the church to look for answers, the blond-haired baddie told the baddie-boss-lady that he had a plan in place to get Kyle. Then we see Kyle in church, he talks to Adam (as we found out later), and walks through the park. We see the blonde-baddie chasing Kyle, then Kyle is chloraformed and wakes up to see Foss. Did Foss explain what happened with the baddie?

By the way - excellend casting on J. Eddie Peck as "Adam". His resemblance to Matt Dallas is uncanny.

[MijtheMage]

I'm wondering if/how they'll get the Treagers back in Kyle's life next season. It didn't look like they drove that far to get to Adam's house, but he did leave them to protect them.

June is sooooo far away -- or do they have plans for a mid-season return? <crosses fingers>

[mportuesi]

I'm wondering if/how they'll get the Treagers back in Kyle's life next season. It didn't look like they drove that far to get to Adam's house, but he did leave them to protect them.

I think the Treagers will (finally) figure out something is up. I had figured in the last show, they would have spotted something off-kilter in the photo album, like Kyle with a belly button, that would have clued them in that the photo album (and hence Kyle's "parents") are a fake.

If nothing else, Kyle deliberately left behind clues to Declan to tell him Kyle's missing memories are all made up. Declan will probably spill his guts to the Traegers at some point.

Once the Treagers are concerned about Kyle's safety, they'll have to go looking for him.

[purple6816]

And "way back", he was on "Dallas" for a year.

Thats why he looks familiar. :rolleyes:

[mrmike]

So... is XX a female Kyle?

[scooterboy]

Hmm..I thought the resemblance was good enough, but when I saw them together, I didn't think "uncanny".

[Bai Shen]

Yeah, I agree with you on the plot mistake. Didn't catch Adam in the church, though.

My theory is that Kyle is a tweaked clone of Adam. What I think is interesting is the XX designation. Does that mean the new subject is female? Why else use it?

I think the body of the girl that was found was jus' the subject before Kyle. She was a failure as well and was eliminated.

What I don't get is how/why they decided Kyle was a failure before he even did anything. It's like they grew him, went oops, an' decided to have him disposed of.

[drew2k]

Hmm..I thought the resemblance was good enough, but when I saw them together, I didn't think "uncanny".Maybe it was the lighting or the way Adam was positioned, but there was a moment when Adam turned around as he finally introduced himself to Kyle that the resemblance, to me, was very strong.

Yeah, I agree with you on the plot mistake. Didn't catch Adam in the church, though.Adam showed up at the church when Kyle was alone, not during the Confirmation. We were led to believe that Kyle was talking to a priest, but there was no white collar and later we found out that the man Kyle was talking to was Adam.My theory is that Kyle is a tweaked clone of Adam.

What I don't get is how/why they decided Kyle was a failure before he even did anything. It's like they grew him, went oops, an' decided to have him disposed of.Brings up several more questions: why actually dispose of Kyle's body in the woods? Why not in the "lab" or something? The company was risking that either a body or skeleton would be found.

Also, why dispose of Kyle while he was still covered in the clear gelatin? I'm sure Kerns would have had a bitch of a time trying to carry Kyle!

I remembered the scene. I jus' didn't catch that it was Adam in the scene an' not a priest.

Good points. I'm still curious what tests they did to determine that Kyle was a failure. An' if he's a failure, what's a success?

What happened to the Kyle series?

I thought it was going to return in January.

Thanks.

...that is a very confusing post. Why can Wikipedia be my friend and what relevance does this have to Kyle XY? :confused: :confused:

ETA: Oh, you may have been answering the question someone had on the show. Not to be rude, but which would have been more difficult for you...typing in your sarcastic response, answering the question, or not typing in anything? I am amazed at the rudeness of your response. A question was asked, we can answer it.

13 more episodes have been ordered and will air in the summer.

....set to air in the summer of 2007....


My good deed for the day for anybody who hovered on that cusp of interested-enough-to-want-to-know/not-interested-enough-to-look-it-up.

I wonder if they will be shown again on ABC in HD.

FYI there was no mention of that on Wikipedia!

Now that is the way to do it. I apologize for being harsh.

I thought so too. My kid asked me about it yesterday. Sanx for the friendly answers.

ABC Family does NOT have a good web site ...

... Kyle XY still has a link to view full episodes "now"

... Everwood is still listed (even though it's no longer being run)

... and the "schedule" is not searchable.

FWIW, ABC Family is showing Everwood in syndication. It was on the WB originally.

That should be past tense: showed. ABC Family finished running all four seasons of Everwood on February 5, 2007, and there's no hint that they'll start over from the beginning, as most channels do a few times with off-network series runs.
