In some ways, I'm in agreement with one of the commenters that just because Killen says it isn't genre doesn't mean it can't evolve. The telling thing is that he does not want to reveal which is real just yet and enjoy the tension of the character trying to live in both.

but the audience may not like this, so I can imagine the show moving slightly in a different direction.

Well, I don't think they're treating it much like one right now--the idea that he's experiencing red day then green day (oh...) but they're interleaving it for dramatic effect to show to us makes it really hard to follow the mechanics--I can't keep track of how the information flows between the worlds. It's hard to be sure that info doesn't go red->green->red in a shorter period than a day, for instance.

But I think it's because I'm used to mysterious genre shows that I want to work things like that out. Your general Grey's Anatomy watcher might not give a fuck--and if they're the audience, there's no reason for the writers to be honest about it.

They've already had scenes in both worlds without him in them, right? In my head, that would seem to put both worlds on similar planes of reality, but evidently I'm overthinking it.

Basically that's it in a nutshell. If it's not being written as genre, my reflexive way of approaching the plotline is going to be considered overthinking for what it actually is.

Which irritates, and will take some getting used to.

If it later "becomes" genre, that will also irritate.

If one of the worlds is a dream, there's nothing to prevent him from experiencing it as an omniscient but disassociated observer at times.

But if they're giving us both worlds apparently as he's experiencing them, I would have expected that to make them both dreams. But since there's only one dream, evidently we're not getting his PoV in the waking world like I'd been expecting, and that's just another thing I need to adjust to.

I just read some completely unfounded speculation that Browder will be the next companion. But the author admits up front there's no evidence but hope and "Would he really be hired for just a one shot?"

Signs point to "yes" based on Chuck. I think shooting in the U.S for a couple episodes makes a short guest spot by an American actor far more practical.

However, it it were to happen it would result in me finally springing for the upgrade to a digital cable package that includes the BBCA tier.

Except I thought they were shooting in Spain for the Browder ep(s?) So...?

Oh, that's right - it's just set in the Old West, but actually shot in that Spaghetti Western studio town, right?

Article about Rachel Nichols' new show Continuum - posted here because I believe a recurring character getting a new show is real spoilers, no?

Set photos from Continuum.

What is she recurring on?

“It’s rooted in some hard facts,”

Oh, you should just not say that. Just...no. Someone on the internet will take that as a challenge, and they have more free time than you do.
