I have to say, with some of the news I've been hearing, I think both John Noble and Katia have dodged HUGE bullets in being written off this show. I'm sure I'll watch the season premiere (& perhaps beyond, if only to point/laugh and satisfy a morbid sense of curiosity), but it sounds like some of the more vocal corners of this fandom will be experiencing some serious "be careful what you wish for" feelings comin' at 'em.
Katia tweeted a new pic of (shock!) her dog - - so cute!
