Ever since "Who Shot J.R?" back in the early '80s, at least.
Great episode last night. I love Olive Snook so much and I think she's getting closer and closer to the truth. Her bonding moment with Chuck was sweet.
The logic of the season finale, which is designed to give people a reason to tune in when the show returns, as opposed to the logic of a series finale, which is about resolution and tying off loose ends.

The cast and crew held a panel discussion at the Paley Center (formerly Museum of Television & Radio) over the weekend. This blog contains some details about the event. Definitely a good read for fans of the show.
Warning: It does contain some potential season two storylines/spoilers. But if you want to avoid those, you can read the first part of the blog (everything abovde the YouTube clip), which is spoiler-free (assuming you've seen the full season.
There's also a short mention at the end of a (not surprisingly) planned September DVD release of season 1. Hopefully, this panel (or at least part of it) will be included on the DVD set.
As much as I enjoy this show, it's just too beautiful to pick up on DVD. I'll hold out for a Blu-ray release. I just can't imagine watching this show in SD. :frowning:
