I think he is going to be on next season, because he's still co producing the show. Probably a diminished role, or something like that. This last seasons needs to pave the way for the spinoff series, and upcomming movie, if I remeber correctly.
Yeah Storm, our cable company is weird. I think we're on Comcast now. While ATT or Verizon was around, not sure which one, they kept changing the packages. We pay for expanded cable, so about 60 channels or something. So for a while we'd have SciFi, then it went away. I honestly think there were a few channgels they knew they couldn't get away with, if they put it in digital cable (espn, discovery, news channgels), but a few of the specialty channels like SciFi, they figured they could, at least in our area. Bastards. I should just get friends to tape the episodes for me. The ones on the net are so low quality.
