Fox pulled the plug and are showing the rest of the episodes on myspace.
It started well enough, but killing the main character and taking a hiatus over a month was probably not a good move. I really think the networks need to rethink how they schedule. Trying to make 22 episodes fill the whole fall-winter-spring season was stale a long time ago.
Oh well, I’ll catch the remaining episodes eventually, though I have little hope the writers will be able to make sense out of it and wrap it up neatly.

Did a search to find out if it had, indeed, been cancelled…
Oh well. I mainly watched it for Gale Harold anyway, and they killed him off.

Did they really? I recall in the preview for the next ep that it showed him in a hospital. I might take the time to watch the rest of the eps on Myspace if he lives. Anyone watch them and know for sure? I honestly didn’t think the ratings were so bad to cancel it in the middle of the season though…

There were several episodes after that and he did, indeed, die.

Desperation over low ratings.
