Tom:
Hopefully AMC's next two shows, The Killing (13 episode oder following the aftermath of the homicide of a little girl in Seattle) and Hell on Wheels (which surprisingly is not about bikers but the Trans-continental railway) will more than make up for it.

EDIT: Hell on Wheels is a stupid name for a show.
Vuk:
I'm actually so fucking bummed that this was canceled. I just finished season 1, and the show DID move slowly, but it got so much better in the last few episodes. I guess that's what they get for ending on a cliffhanger, and the oil spill part of the storyline seemed like kind of a risky move (though I love that they did that).
Inlander:
Surprisingly, I'm not too cut up about this news. On the one hand, I absolutely loved the first season and I think the characters were genuinely some of the best and most well-rounded characters on any current T.V. show, right the way through the cast. On the other hand, it seemed like it was always a show at odds about what it wanted to be, which is not surprising given all that went on behind the scenes at the start of it, and it's difficult to imagine how it could have continued after the first season without becoming either clunky ("now there's another conspiracy! Or suddenly a whole lot extra layer of complexity to the existing conspiracy that was never previously hinted at!") or rote ("ho-hum, what's our national security crisis going to be this week?"). Though I'd love to watch season after season of Kale Ingram being basically the coolest guy on T.V., and I'll be forever curious about whether Truxton Spangler went off and killed himself or whether he decided "Screw you guys", I also would've hated to see any of the characters become boring and familiar.
TheFuriousWombat:
A show about the transcontinental railroad sounds way WAY cooler than some lame modern conspiracy theory nonsense. The Rubicon guys had their chance and didn't pull off a wholly compelling show so something better deserves to take its place. It's a dog eat dog world, dudes.

It's called Hell on Wheels.
