I just finished watching the missing episodes of Defying Gravity which ABC didn't show last summer so seeing both Paula Garces and Laura Harris in the episode was a weird coincidence for me.

I hate ABC with a white hot fury for canceling that show. I really hope that James Parriott eventually gets to make a mini series or movie that ties things up. He's already revealed some of the stuff that was going to happen had the show continued and it sounds just as awesome as the rest of the series.

Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

It seems that TV executives hate realistic SF shows. The ones that do really well are the ones that are so far into the future or advanced alien technology that science doesn't matter.

The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

My problem was not that they canceled after 13 episodes, but stop broadcasting the show in the US at episode 8, just before the big reveal.

I rank it up with other SciFi like "what's the mystery" series, trying to create another Lost, that all had short lifespans. I'm expecting "FastForward" to pop up in the listings on SyFy for one of their weekday morning to afternoon run of canceled by major network programming.

This fall we'll have "The Event" which I suspect won't make it to it's big reveal.

Edit: And if you want to have an idea where Defying Gravity was going in later seasons, this is an interview with it's creater James Parriott.
