Jack and Viv? Interesting thought...who knows? She'd certainly be a good match for him!

I love The Shield as well, and although I couldn't get into Lost at first, someone lent me the DVD box set, and now I'm hooked. I bet you would enjoy Law and Order - but the early series are the best ones. It's dropped off a bit lately, although it's still one of the best shows on tv.

Yeah, I don't think that Sam and Martin are that believeable as a couple somehow. I just don't see it. But I think you're probably right about her not hooking up with Jack in the future - she's already worried about her reputation, and if she thinks that people see her flitting from one to the other...But if Jack gets a girlfriend in the future, I'd like to see her reaction!

I've never watched The 4400, but I've pondered over the box set a couple of times; it looks like something I'd enjoy. I never watch soaps either, but I love all the American dramas (still mourning the loss of X Files)!
