The ending seemed to come out of nowhere (ie, rushed).Spoilers:[spoiler]I mean, sprayable stuff that magically tracks people/critters who walk in it via a PDA? And no one, but those dog things happens to walk in it? What about lizards or birds or tumbleweeds?Seems awfully convenient. Deux Ex Machina sort of stuff.I mean, why wasn't that cave searched by police? Seems kinda obvious. One case , then another with a missing child and a similar MO. Why not search the area where previous cases occured...Doesn't Kolchak seem awfully chipper most of the time, for a guy who recently lost his wife and unborn child? (Though sufficiently broody when talking about her case). I'm not sure when it happened, but it had to have been within a year, since those new Mustangs are well, new.  And why wouldn't Gabrielle Union's character (whose name I forget) have heard about the case, since in this day and age, every time a pregnant woman gets killed mysteriously, it's on the news everywhere.And wouldn't she have known the cop at the crime scene (and vice-versa), if she had been covering crime in the city for 4 years? [/spoiler]Still, I thought it was okay, but I think it would have been better if it weren't a "remake" of the Night Stalker.  The new Kolchak is far different than the old one. The old one wanted the truth printed no matter what.  The old one was kinda frumpy , while the new one is seemingly rich (his house is pretty fancy) and stylish.   The old one drove a beat up Camaro convertible, this one drives a shiny new Mustang coupe. The old one yelled a lot at people. This one doesn't seem to even talk much.And really, the name doesn't fit.  I mean, the "Night Stalker" part, really fits vampires more than mysterious doggies.OTOH, you now have other characters than just Kolchak. Both of whom are pretty good (and in Ms. Union's case, easy on the eyes). And the choice in cars is much better, though he should really also have a convertible.  They are much better for monster hunting because you can simply jump in them when you have to flee. (Obviously they offer less protection, but most nasties can go through a glass window easy enough, so it's not that much of a factor)</blockquote>
