I’m rather upset with NBC for not better advertising that the series finale was going to be on Wednesday. If I’d known, I’d have had a tape in the VCR. As it is, I’m going to have to wait until the DVD release.

Fortunately, I’ve read there will be one, so it should only be a few months.

I’m with ya, Beth.

BUT…for a series finale, this was pretty good. This resolves a whole lot more than the mere hint at some answers, that was predicted. If the show was going to end, this tied a bow on the series. I can see the story advancing from here, but if this would have been a mini-series, this would be a fine conclusion.

The elevator revelations, the parting conversation and final scene combined for a nice farewell kiss to all the fans.

I hope NBC executives rot in the fiery pits of hell for canceling this show. I hope their children are stolen in the night and castrated with a spork in an aquarium of leeches, and then salt is poured on their wounds. Without my weekly fix of Kevin McKidd, I won’t smile anymore.

What I mean is that some of Fox’s shows are produced off the lot.
They spend lots of money on literaly floors of office space this includes editing, voice and data rentals.

The Unit for example is one show that takes up an entire floor in a expensive building.
The Producers budget is on borrowed time. They have empty office space and nobodys there.
So to save money shows like this are in jepordy of loosing there production offices.

If this happens the startup delays and costs will force some shows to not get picked BACK up post strike.

What do you mean Fox will pay the bills? Are they hiring non-union writers? I doubt they are allowed to cut a special deal with one portion of the bargaining unit.

Yea I’m not a fan of “The Unit” but I thought I would pass that on.
24 will endure Fox will pay the bills and keep that one up.
Lost’ ?? Never gave a crap about that show….

Who cares? What about Lost and 24?

Unfortunity more shows like this are going to fall if the strike dosnt end within a few months.
From what I hear The drama show “the Unit” could be permanatly effected “canceled”.

Journeyman has become the one must see show in our house this season. Everyone I know watches it and can’t wait to talk about it on Tuesday mornings. It seems that all the intelligent shows are quickly replaced with another CSI or reality/game show. Just who are these Nielsen families and why can’t they enjoy good TV. Maybe the networks need to realize that those of us that have money to spend with the advertisers are too busy to do Nielsen ratings. When shows like Journeyman get canceled you have to believe that there is a flaw in the system somewhere.

I watch both shows, Life and Journeyman, and I like both of them. I was more afraid that Life would get cancelled than Journeyman because the show is about cops. JOurneyman is a great show and it deserves better than just being ignored by a lot of people. I wait anxiously for every Monday just for this show. I no longer care about Heroes since Journeyman started. It’s just brilliant.

Wouldn’t it be cool if Moon Bloodgood’s last mission is to save Taye Diggs from ABC’s never-ending unresolved plot?

One of the best scenes was when Jack saw Livia in the elevator, and broke down and said something like, “What are you guys trying to do to me? Is this some kind of sick joke?” Authentic! Much better than the usual sci fi “Oh sure you’re time travelers!”

OK, Conjecture of the Week. When Jack’s girlfriend got caught snooping, she said something like “It’s much more than that” and that she was pregnant. Why do I doubt that second part? Is she watching Jack and/or Dan?

While it wasn’t very scientific, I like how Dan tried to look into how it could be possible. I thought that really added to the credibility of the show.

Loved this show, watched em all. Sure the whole time travel and all that had holes in it and it wasn’t very scientific in the way it worked, but it was a great story with great actors.

Jim, Uncanny timing you have with your questions. Far be it for me to spoil anything, but I think your desire for some “morsels” by come to be!
