Officially, a true Season 3 of Jeremiah is possible. In reality, a true Season 3 is extremely unlikely. For some unknown reason, Showtime decided (after sitting on the finished Season 2 eps for 6+ months) to only air the first 7 episodes last fall. The final 8 (which they are expected to call "Season 3") are loosely planned to air in the US this summer. Whether this happens or not is unclear after Showtime made similar statements about Odyssey 5 (those final eps never aired). In any case, J. Michael Stracynski will not return to write/produce Season 3 after a fallout with MGM over creative interference issues (i.e. suits wanting more sex and action over substance). Malcolm Jamal Warner has joined a pilot for a potential new fall series as well, which isn't a good sign either.

Thanks for all your input! I'll post back my own thoughts when I've received it and had a chance to take a look

It's unlikely the rest of the second season will ever air on Showtime. Showtime has made a decision to do no more Sci-fi. The people in charge really hate it. The only reason a second season was made was because JMS made Showtime sign a contract to back two seasons minium before he signed on to Jeremiah.

Last season Odyssey 5 made higher ratings than the much,much,much more highly promoted Gay show Queer as Folk. Yet they still didn't show all Odyssey 5 episodes made. This is why it drives me nuts when people say Sci-fi only gets cancelled for ratings. It doesn't, it gets cancelled because the types that make network executive like it that way. Why do people need so badly to believe things are based in sane things like money and ratings. They are not, they are based on the perverse whims of deranged executives end of story.

To be fair, there was a really odd production schedule on Jeremiah - I think they had almost all (if not all) of season 1 in the can before they aired an episode. I may be mis-remembering, but in part that may have had something to do with Sept 11th.

Have seen a few episodes, and looking forward to the DVD - in particular the "90210 reunion" episode was fantastic in season 1.

Yeah, I thought Jason Priestly was brilliant in that episode. His performance was pretty gorram freaky - you could just see it in his eyes (at least I could, anyway). I look forward to Season 2 DVD set someday, specially if Showtime doesn't air the last half of season 2, the frelling mynoks.

LOL! "gorram frelling mynoks" I have GOT to a bar tonight and have some fun. Must escape...
