They could still turn it around and salavage it with a really good plot. If they did it right, they could make K2 seem as a filler, full of suspense. I mean, it was obvious it was a cliffhanger... but... if they made K3 really well, then it wouldn't make K2 seem quite as bad. I mean, people will still be pissed off at all the cut content, but if they filled in all the gaps, plugged all the holes... then maybe, just maybe, people would forgive them.
