I think "Chuck" has a possible "Alias" vibe, which may make me watch it week to week.
Given links ita gave to BW news, I'm seriously contemplating not watching the show again. I don't see the point if the behind the scenes are so screwed up.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Really enjoyed the Highlander W&P. So I guess this means that Highlander vs. Mansquito is next?

le nubian - which links are those?
I thought that Mark Sheppard was surely not old enough to be Jaimie's bf's father - did that seem odd to you guys?

From that link,
If the actual creator of the show is a guy like Eick (a POD, in other words)
What's a POD? Producer of Doom is all I am coming up with.

-I would enjoy a future more if everything she touches turns to plants. But I want her to find this out before she gets into bed again with Tom.
Mwhahaha. Oh, that's going to send me into inappropriate gales at odd intervals for the next couple of days. Poor Tom, there are some places one doesn't need petunias.
I didn't hate Meghan the way some people did, though I was desperately hoping for Alana to return. But I enjoyed this season very much. I've been watching from the start and I sometimes get the feeling they took a sharp left at the end of season 1 and found themselves someplace entirely else, said the hell with it, and ran like hell towards some goal in the misty distance which they seem to have finally reached.
Does anyone know if there's another season? A part of me would like that, because I think another sharp turn is the only place to go from here and I'm curious to see where they'd take it. OTOH, it feels resolved and finished (danglers included) and that's often best left alone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think things were up in the air for next season, so they wanted something with closure, but also with angles to explore.

If this turns out to be the last season, they certainly went out on a high note. The body count was positively Minearian. Somehow it hadn't hit home until the scene at the cemetery with Shawn, Tom and Kyle how much that family had come to symbolize the three sides of the conflict. I'd like to see what Tom's ability turns out to be and how Diana feels about never being able to have an ability. I'd like to see Shawn's election campaign. I just don't know if they can sustain having all those people with abilities. For one, it's such a tempting deus ex machina. "We need someone who can smother a nuclear reaction. Hey, isn't that X's ability?" Also, the abilities are already becoming pretty outre. We'd probably end up with 4400s who can sharpen pencils or project images from all the WWF matches.

In which case...success. That's exactly how it played out.
So, while I'm here on time for once, let me ask -- in Maia's dream, Diana had an ability. Everyone else who had one in the dream does indeed now have one (save for Tom, but I'm guessing he wouldn't resist taking the shot now that it can't possibly be illegal to be P+ anymore). So...was Maia wrong, or could it be a flashcard that Diana being resistant doesn't mean entirely immune? I'm thinking latently developed nick-of-time ability of some sort developing in 5x06 or so. That is if there's a 5 to have a 6 of.
