I'm guessing that Byron would have been written and cast quite differently if CC had stayed on.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

I think the idea was that she would have hooked up with Byron due to guilt over Marcus. So Byron was supposed to be Marcus-like no matter what. I mostly think it's a shame she left because, if she'd stayed, Ivonava and Garibaldi would have become enemies. And I like that kind of stuff.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Okay. The psychic lady cracked me up. A lot. And the bit with the monkey was extra creepy with a side of freaky. Other than that, the show is still enjoyable but it hasn't blown me away yet.

I loved the psychic. I missed the twist at the end -- was the burning spirit of their mother keeping the poltergeist away?
And their dad was in town the ENTIRE time?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She cancelled herself out with the poltergeist, so she's gone now, forever.
What house did the psychic go into? Just some random house in town?
I'm glad they brought him in -- so it doesn't turn into an aimless search that doesn't progress.

I thought it was the psychic's house - but I was on the phone at the time.

Huh. Peter David is reporting they're planning on doing an Aquaman Smallville spin-off, but they're recasting Aquaman. Does is it even qualify as a spin-off at that point, considering the character only made one appearance?
I'm fine with the re-casting, as the guy they had bugged me.

Okay, I think that having an Aquaman spin-off is funny.
Also, I finished watching Doctor Who last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I must say that I was strongly reminded of both "Primeval" and "Hero" by certain elements of the final episode and feel pretty sure that I know some of the writers' viewing habits. I did think that the bad wolf element kind of came in very last minute and felt kind of incomplete but perhaps I need to re-watch and decide whether it feels less added on when watching with full knowledge.

The explanation might have felt last minute, but the seeds were sown in every episode, IIRC.

Wouldn't an Aquaman splash-off be more thematically correct?
