: : I have DirecTV and the episode aired on Friday the 11th, it was quite depressing to say the least. It started out with the group leaving the plateau but Malone decides to stay with Veronica.. I really don't want to spoil it all for you folks,....: No need to worry. Major spoilers have been posted before on this board. It's up to the individual reader if he/she want's to know in advance. So, if you would like to post such a spoiler for this episode, you're more than welcome, as least as far as I'm concerned. I find that reading the spoilers makes me want to watch the show that much more. After all, as I've said before, the strength of the show isn't in its storyline, but in its presentation. Only 1 show has been truly unpredictable ("Time After Time"). But if you're going to do a spoiler, can you at least warn us of the Cheesecake/Beefcake Shot Of The Week? I wouldn't want to be out of the room and miss one of the show's better parts :) : : : ... but I will say that it was quite convincing that Roxton, Summerlee, Malone And Challenger met a quick death on the bridge. The good thing that came out of this was that Veronica And Marguerite did not find the bodies but they we searching when the credits began to roll...... : Sounds like the typical cliffhanger-ending for a season. In this case (falling from a bridge), the "cliffhanger-aspect" may even be taken literally. However, I really think there's no need to worry. The show has been renewed for another season (or two more seasons, if Michael's source is to be believed), so you can be certain that the producers won't ruin a formula that's working by killing off 2/3 of their main cast. And now I want to see this episode even more! Just how do the writers manage to pull of this trick? As Chiara mentioned before, its just like those old Flash Gordon serials. All we can do is sit back and... (dramatic pause) Enjoy!
