After watching the trailer for this stupid movie, my girlfriend keeps talking about things that we'll do "when we are married". Stupid sexy Eric Bana.

I liked this idea better when it was Faraday/Charlotte subplot in Lost's season 5.

If ABC remains consistent, this will be produced, promoted in the pre-season, then ignored, buried and let to die EVEN if some one manages, against the odds, to do it well and make it into a viable season spanning vehicle.

ABC has treated some damn good shows like a prom date they are embarrassed to be seen with and who will be left by the punch bowl early in the evening.

Unless ABC convinces themselves that it really isn't science fiction and then it can exist as romantic drama.

Sorry ABC, me no trust

@CanisPugnax: Yes, I'm sure this will become an ABC series, just like Football Wives, Secrets of a Small Town, and many other high profile non-spinoff pilots they've had.

Oh, God? Why do you foresake your children?

Journeyman should never have been cancelled in the first place.

Second. The only people I would trust with this is the British. They'd limit it to 13 episodes for two years and actually kind of make it funny.

@WestMantooth: Journeyman was decent enough and had some potential. This I don't understand. A series needs to have long term potential to get greenlit these days- they all want their magic number of 100 episodes to hit syndication. You can't just arbitrarily decide to drag out a story that already has a complete structure, unless you throw out the book and call the series a reboot of the original... and I am getting really tired of the word reboot.

I'd rather ABC bring back the Unusuals.

@WestMantooth: I miss Journeyman soooo much, there's no way I'd want to watch this show. :(

Oh, Kevin McKidd, why can't you be on a show I care about again?

@The BullLifter, Emotional Zombie: I hated the Unusuals before it aired, due to ridiculously lame commercials, and I only watched the first episode because I was at a friend's house watching Lost and he didn't change the channel. After that I found myself looking forward to it every week.

Sadly, good stuff gets canceled while they recycle old canceled shows so they can cancel them again.
