I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I debated whether to post this here or in music, but with the soap connection and the cheesiness, I decided on here:

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
He was head of Research, wasn't he? The whole crew were VP or above level W&H employees. Only one I can see getting out of it would be Fred, what with her soul getting destroyed and all. As for Wesley's likelyhood of signing away his soul, the Wes who signed up probably thought he was going to Hell anyway what with the Connor betrayal thing. Fred, Gunn, and Lorne don't strike me as the sorts to check the fine print, and Angel didn't seem like he really cared much at that point. End of Season 4 Angel Investigations was kind of a bleak crew.
They had kind of a special deal, though. I don't imagine that they signed standard contracts, and I am pretty sure that none of them would have signed contracts that included their souls, at least not without a lot more angst first, or a funny line.

Well if they all signed the same contract and it did include the souls, then all that W&H would have to do was wait till Angel was killed again and they would have owned his soul.
So I doubt the soul thing was in their contracts. Plus they were so sure they doing good there now, that signing away their souls would kinda defeat that purpose.

Well, I wanted to get into "The 4400," but it doesn't feel ambitious enough for me.
ETA: Does that sound arrogant? Eh, prolly does.
Does anyone else here watch "The Dead Zone," though?

I watch Dead Zone. though i'm about 3 eps behind at the moment. they're sitting on my TiFaux waiting for me to watch them.
i'm actually more impressed with The 4400 this year than i am with Dead Zone. the writers don't seem to know where to go with the latter anymore.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I heard that Dead Zone has taken a real dive lately. Which is a shame, because Michael Piller is very friendly to fandom.

I thought that Piller was no longer doing the day to day showrunning. I could've sworn I read that somewhere.
But yes, he's incredibly fan friendly. I think the Dead Zone website is one of the best official sites out there. They have everything you could ever want. You can download shooting scripts! And the show bible!
ETA: I'd look it up on the message boards but the pre-new site threads are all gone.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I watched Dead Zone season one. Lost interest somewhere in the second season, though. It seemed to meander.
I agree with those who find The 4400 less than gripping. I watched one episode - sadly, not Summer Glau's - and felt like I was watching a torrid soap opera with some sci-fi trappings. There was something about a precious little girl getting adopted and some evil corporation, and my attention wandered away to the fridge.
