It's the show's only incursion into metaness. We're the ones being tortured.

And Natalie's Wood?

And AMC won't even know that it's killed its own show—it thought it was some random NBC joint.

Huh. I thought she was bigger on "The Inside."

Gotcha. Thank you!

If you could somehow send up a batsignal; I'm not sure what I can do to receive a notification, so to speak, beyond leaving this page open the whole time with Real-Time Updating enabled or clicking your handle every once in a while.

"Termination"… I could do that if you like. I don't sleep.

This name is tight!

Thanks for mentioning "Intelligence"; I wasn't aware of it, and it looks really, really good. (And stars our Jason, no less, Ian Tracey.)

Good point.

Until Garza mortarboards a motherfucker, and then we're in business.

SPOILERY SPECULATION: I just don't see any good payoff coming from this. At *most*, we get a double bluff (is that the right term?) where one of the women, despite what we now think, has the interests of the good guys at heart. And even *that* is kinda boring and predictable. For Betty, the new info is tantamount to

Krycek should have been forced to turn in his badge and his weapon. It would have been fitting: once more, an unarmed Krycek.

Ooh, this is a fun game. Me, I'd say my ideal central character would be Hugh Dillon (the dude from "Durham Country," forthcoming). [The man is just so cool and angry in a Seth Bullock sort of way.] I'd also be curious as to how loony Jason fills his days, though maybe that would get repetitive after a while,

Who knows, maybe by season three Kiera will be allied with some of the nicer Liber8 people (Lexa Doig) and maybe Alec will, for some understandable reason, have been corrupted by the Dark Side.

I'm sure they're all very soarry aboot that, eh.

I'm currently rewatching "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," and the overarching problem is the same as the one you mention: the good guys can't really succeed in their overall goal, otherwise the show is over, so what the show does is give them mini-missions. This gets old after a while—once the trick reveals

Me, too, by nature—but I don't have much hope that the show *can* advance the time-travel plot. I just don't see how it could. It might be able to for the endgame, for the show's last two episodes, say, but in the (long) meantime, I can't conceive of any feasible milestones or incremental steps. Well, maybe Kiera

This season, the "Spot the Canadian!" factor seems to have gone up substantially. So many familiar faces (from other Vancouver-shot genre shows). It's cool, 'cause these are people I'm already predisposed to liking, but it's also a little funny and absurd. (And a trip to tv tropes has explained the reasons for the

I enjoy the show a lot, but there are few troubling signs (regarding its future quality). Agent Krycek (Nicholas Lea = "Gardiner"), as a character, seems to exist solely to question Kiera's allegiances (which is tedious, since *we* know she is 100% righteous).
