Wasn't Space: Above and Beyond a Chris Carter show, or am I misremembering?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I miss Peter Jennings.
Saying "regular programming" seemed a much more succinct way of phrasing it.
Oh, good point.
It's a strong memory for me, because, there is a big difference between murky, violent TV show with young Canadian himbos and bright, humane TV show with less-young American man occasionally wearing a dress. And being so Nice. Niceness is underappreciated. It was a We've secretly replaced their regular coffee with Folger's crystals type of deal. I was glad to notice.
In conclusion, let's all make out.
Good idea!

Close - it was Morgan and Wong. Their leaving is when the wheels started coming off the X-Files (Millenium didn't last long enough to get to that point, though the last (third?) season certainly showed it was in the offing).

Morgan & Wong. Also formerly of the X-Files.

Me too.
I watched the coverage pretty steadily, and by the end I had acquired such a mental bond with Peter Jennings that I just sobbed when he died. When I felt like I had to get away, I escaped to HGTV and the Food Network, which thankfully had not cobbled together "how to repair your home after a terrorist attack" and "tasty treats for first responders." I just remember having this terrible need to ::do:: something, and having nothing I could do. I also spent a lot of time on the NY Times website, which did an astonishingly good job of updating. I wish I had found the Buffistas by then, because the one online group I was a member of turned into a snarling mess of people saying that the U.S. deserved to be bombed.
That was one nutty x-post.

Happy Birthday, Trudy & Kara!!!
And, thank you to all my Buffistas who have enriched my life during good times and held my invisible hand during bad times.
Strangely, I agree with both of these comments:
1. The aftermath of that day was the basis for our becoming a community
2. I think in my mind we became a community after TT went pay and we were all alone (relatively) in the wilds of WX.
I've been part of the board since TT, but I lurked long. I delurked on occassion and then went back to lurking some more. To some degree, because of RL demands, I still do, but it was five years ago that I started posting regularly and started to feel more a part of the community rather than just a watcher.

Midway through season 2?!
