"Showdown At The Future's Edge": the Un-Made TV Movie

In the unbelievable, double-length finale of season one, Faraday defies both the One-Eyed Man and the Black Pharaoh with dangerous consequences.

A 90-minute television movie, tentatively titled "Showdown At The Future's Edge," was originally planned to air the summer following the series finale to bridge the gap between season one and season two. It had begun filming some sequences in parallel with the shooting of the final episodes of the series (to save time and money), but the project was ultimately scrapped a week into shooting after the series cancellation. No script has ever surfaced, but available production documents indicate that the movie would have revolved around Faraday pursuing and ultimately confronting his captors, the leader of whom is revealed to be Faraday himself: he created the alligator-men, ordered his own memory wiped and had himself imprisoned because he "learned too much" and endangered "the Cause." After fighting numerous alligator-men, destroying the Mind Control Robot Alpha Computer, and commandeering a speedboat in an underground canal system, Faraday would finally destroy the facility and make his escape back to society.
