Diego+Victoria

I never saw the ending either and I am probably in the minority who wish he didn't. I liked Victoria, quite a bit, actually, but Victoria and Diego never seemed "right" together and the relationship with Zorro was based on fantasy and the whole mystery thing instead of something real.

The episode I always wished I seen, expecially now since I've heard something about it, was the final episode with Michael Tylo as the Alcalde.

The way this series ended really sucked. There were 4 episodes that together were known as "The Conspiracy of Blood". Basically, Diego's evil twin brother came to LA and wreaked havoc. It was a horrible soap operish plot, especially since they had already done the 'evil(er) twin brother' thing with the 1st alcalde, Luis Ramon in the 2nd season ("White Sheep of the Family").

The final scene of the series has Diego, Don Alejandro, Felipe, & Victoria standing around discussing & questioning what had happened during the last 4 eppies. Diego acts like he is going to tell them he is Zorro, but Felipe stops him with a shake of his head. Instead Diego announces he is going to adopt Felipe to everyone's delight.

But something is still nagging Don Alejandro and Diego says that he has something to tell him that he has needed to for a very long time. Then Diego & Don Alejandro TURN & WALK AWAY from Felipe & Victoria. And that's it.

It really, really, really sucked. No unmasking, no getting the girl, no dramatic climax to such an exciting series. Just a rehash of recent events and the announcement to adopt Felipe.

Evidently there were budgetary concerns since major backers had pulled their support of the series. Considering that is was filmed on location in Spain, its budget must have been enormous for a cable TV series. That is why the 4th season only lasted 13 (unlucky) episodes instead of the 25 episodes the other 3 seasons ran. They threw together the "Conspiracy of Blood" arc at the last minute in case they ran out of money, thinking they could use it for the series finale if need be. Unfortunately, they did.

They also changed a lot of things that had been established in earlier episodes, like Diego being born in Spain instead of California that was mentioned in "Palomarez Returns". And that his mother's name was Elena instead of Felicidad, which was used in the 1st season episode "The Unhappy Medium".

I was very unhappy how this series ended, with a crappy, slapped together finale that didn't do the series justice. Then I was really ticked when a few months later, they did the same thing with Quantum Leap. Its finale stunk too.

Thanks for letting me vent!

I hope so!
There was the episode The Devil's Fortress.
Where you see the grandfather with his grandchild, they are descendents of Zorro, so Zorro had a wife or girlfriend, whatever! Also in the episode, Victoria's father asks Victoria if there is a man in her life, she says yes, he says: marry him and have children!
So I think they got together later on... :)

I read somewhere that Zorro proposed to Victoria and of course she said yes but like I just read, the show was cancelled before anyone could get any answers or see Victoria's reaction to knowing Zorro's identity. All we can do is write about it and wonder.

I loved that show since I was a child and I still remember the theme song and the romantic chemistry between Victoria/Diego/Zorro.
