So I checked epguides and Alias starts January 5th with a two-parter called "Authorized Personnel Only". Ep. 3 is called "The Awful Truth".

Meanwhile over on Fox, it looks as though 24 starts with a two parter on Sunday January 9 and has its third episode the very next day -- Monday the 10th. And continues on Mondays. (For right now.)

This day starts at 7 AM.

I am currently relieved. I hope that they keep to this schedule!

Ep. 3 is called "The Awful Truth"

Me thinks Alias might be better served calling the episode "The Fleeting Truth"

Bwah!

I think they've had previous episodes with very similar titles.

Charmed casting thingy: Rumor has it - - via Whedonesque via Kristen that CC will become a regular.

Sumi, I had heard she dies in tonight's episode.

Not that the two are neccessarily contradictory.

I watched part of tonight's episode -- don't know what happens because when Cold Case finally started, I switched channels.

She dies in tonight's ep.

Tonight's ep was excellent. I'm still annoyed at the silly situations Susan gets herself into, but the way it worked out was perfect. She said just the right thing, finally.

Lynette would be me, if I had even one child, I'm afraid.

Glad that the death wasn't who I expected, and glad it was who it was.

Given the original rumor is coming from Kristen, I wouldn't expect to see her again. But this is Charmed, and dead!Seer this week doesn't mean she won't be resurrected later. They did seem to be spending a lot of energy making her sympathetic, whatever that's worth.

Whatever. She was a demon with visions. Who'd a thunk you could get typecast as that?

They did a nice job on DH and the end of the ep for Susan was a nice balance for the idiocy of the middle of the episode for Susan.
