** The WordOfGod is that [[spoiler:the world with both Rex and Hannah alive is just a wish fulfillment fantasy "between" the two worlds, and it still must be either the Red or the Green reality that is real. The second season would have continued switching between the two, and Britten in Red would be where we left him - in jail, believed insane and framed for murder]].

* GainaxEnding: The season finale that the writers planned was meant to raise questions for Season Two, and there were no changes made when it was announced that the show was going to be canceled. This led to a seriously bizarre finale. In both realities, Britten is trying to prove that Hawkins [[spoiler: caused the accident.]] In the Green reality, he succeeds, but in the Red reality [[spoiler: Hawkins kills his former partner and frames Britten for it. All of the evidence that Britten found in the Green reality brings up dead ends in Red and he ends up getting caught and imprisoned. While in prison, he's told he has a visitor, who turns out to be...himself. After a brief conversation, a door swings open and Britten ends up walking down a deserted hallway, followed by his two therapists arguing over whether this is a breakthrough. At the end of the hall, he finds the Green reality, and it appears that Red was AllJustADream. But then, while talking with his Green therapist about this breakthrough, she freezes in mid-sentence and ''another'' door swings open, leading him to a reality where both his wife and son are alive. Cue credits.]]
