Hehe... that's not unexpected, the show is pretty devious... and I love it.

... spoilers for someone who hasn't seen season 1 ...


Right now we know that there's no one visible in the "management" trailer, yet the short guy was talking to SOMEONE in there (himself maybe). The heir apparent to the 'good' side (the kid) has a power that needs to kill something else to heal. The probably 'evil' character (the priest... a bit cliche if it turns out true) is on the path to 'the dark side', using his power to coerce others... but he just had his mission burnt down, can't wait to see what he does about it. The blind seer and the girl/'turnip' mother characters are just awesome, funny, mysterious. The whole darn series is a couple notches above the standard TV fare (Angel/Buffy/CSI/etc...) in sheer quality. It reminds me a lot of 'Band of Brothers' in how it seems closer to motion picture quality than TV quality. Not quite in 'Brothers' territory (which I rank better than any war movie made in the last 50 years), but darn good.

And we're on the road to Babylon... I figured on watching that episode yesterday but my blasted wife fell asleep on me. Grrr.
