I don't suppose there's any hope that the writers' strike will induce Fox to air the unaired Drive episodes? (Considering that a saw an ad for what seems to be a mother and daughter beauty contest "reality" show, I'm guessing not.)

Probably not because of the incompleteness. I was harboring a vague hope they might do the full run of THE INSIDE since it actually has an ending of sorts. Doubtful at best, though.

I think Dan's done some nice bright things--getting his wife to believe in the pilot episode was pretty much a cincher for me. I can watch with her frustrated, but if they'd kept her disbelieving I couldn't keep up.

Whoever's pulling the strings didn't have to leave him enough time to go off book. Why, then, should he not? I mean, if he's done what's to be done, he'd have gone back to now.

I also don't understand how Livia knew the scope of what he was there for.

But I missed some of the time travel cues, so it's possible I didn't have my A game in play.

When Dan realized that the progress he'd made with his brother had been undone, my heart broke.

And I think this was the first ep where Jack's jerky attitude really highlighted how much he cares about his brother. Rather than hearing him say "I care about you and this is why I'm invading your personal finances and privacy" I actually saw it, which was lovely. And then with the heartbreaking. And then the PROMO!!!!

*ahem*

I'm not a parent, and avoid children as much as possible, so my opinion of Zack's storyline may be off. I get that kid's act out when things are wacky at home, but the way the school, and even Kate, were dealing with him seemed off. The whole school suspension thing was wack to me, especially for a kid so young. It seemed more like "we don't want your devil child sullying our school image".

But I also say "yay" to Zack for socking that kid in the nose when even Kate knows he steals toys from all the other kids. (It's not like she encouraged him to do it like a certain Winchester boy I know).

I'm iffy on Zack myself. I deleted the ep off TiVo without watching the promo--what's up for next week.

And, yeah, I think Jack came off well this week, but sadly that doesn't stop him from messing Dan's shit up majorly.

Dan just has to work out how to set up a proof like the one he did with Katie--but one that sticks this time.

Next week Livia has to go to Jack to save Dan who has been shot. . . in the past. (I think.)

If I may, after tonight's Journeyman, I'd like to put 5 for Fighting's "Superman" on the list of songs that may not be used on tv shows. No, I have no other instance in mind, but, let's not have this be the next "Hallelujah"

I know that "Hallelujah" has been overused to the point of cliche, but I saw/heard Rufus Wainwright singing it in concert this past August, and I swear to you that I practically had a sexual response to him performing it. Combination of the man and the music, I suppose. (And yes, I know that he didn't write it.)

A good friend of mine is a bartender at a gay bar that does karaoke. Sometimes, at the end of the night, he will sing Hallelujah. It's fucking amazing.

I don't know what Con this panel happened at, but here is a YouTube video entitled "Christopher Judge Learns About Furries". [link]

That's a great vid.

I believe that was Dragon*Con, over Labor Day weekend.
