Damn. I really liked Alcatraz. [files Alcatraz into the box where New Amsterdam will live forever] [sigh]

Yes, it's too bad it was cancelled, when they had just found their stride. I have sooooo many unanswered questions.

Was Warden James behind everything? What did he do with the civil war gold? Why did the Warden need Harlan Simmons on the outside? To become a billionaire, using the gold cache?

I think when the Warden jumped to the future, he was going to assume Simmon's life and fortune.

And the big question: how were the 63s "jumping" forward in time?

And who is Mr. K? Do you have any theories?

[mmegaera]

You've got a lot of good questions. I wish I knew the answers, especially as to how the 63s jumped forward.

But the one character I'm going to miss most is Dr. Soto the comic book guy. I loved his character with a passion.

I hate when networks do that. You get to like a series and they cancel it.

Which TV favorite of yours was cancelled?

Harry's Law. Starring a mature woman, well-rounded in many ways, dealing with actual issues. I knew from the beginning that its chances were slim. Sigh.

My frog is blue with sadness.

I watched Harry's Law, because J and bookdelver loved it. It had intelligent dialogue and a certain amount of comedy. Then it disappeared from Weds night. We thought they had cancelled it mid-season. Then I found it on Sat night. Then it was gone, again. I hate being jerked around.

You could tell the network suits really hated it. DO network suits hate strong, mature women?

Are you happy they renewed Body of Evidence? Or did the "Contagion"-style season finale put you off?
