It would be great if you tracked and reported when the premier epidsode of a syndicated re-run is going to run. There are lots of shows that I would love to watch from the beginning, and I find this information hard to find.
It’ll be interesting to see how Sarah Connor wraps up tonight. I like the way they’ve been getting rid of the dead weight in the last few weeks, in terms of characters and plotlines, and pared it back almost as it was at the start of season 1. It’s recovered from the body blow of last season’s writers strike and it’s finally hit its stride, it’ll be a real shame if tonight is the last ever episode, but hey this is FOX right ?
