I only started watching "The Dead Zone" after reading some Johnny/Walt slash, and my interest in the show was (a) Walt; (b) the love triangle in all its permutations (I loved reading threesome stories for this show); (c) Johnny/Bruce; (d)the apocalypse.

Ditto, so much ditto.

Since they've pretty much gotten rid of all 4 of these in this episode, that's one hour free for me, I guess.

Yeah. I haven't removed it from my season recording list yet, but considering that I also disliked the look of the promo for next week, I'm thinking there's no point in keeping it on there.

I really was devastated that Walt's death turned out to be real, and I can't imagine why they felt the need to kill him off this early in the season, but I see no reason for me to keep watching at this point, especially since it looks like they're *also* getting rid of Bruce AND the apocalypse.

Oh, I know. I did a double-take: "Wait, Walt's really dying? Really? No, can't be. Shit, they're really doing it!" And since Bruce is going and there's not going to be an apocalypse anymore (and seriously, could that be any more lame or anticlimactic?), what's the point? Also, I fear that part of the reason they got rid of Walt was so they could legitimately get Johnny and Sarah back together again - with loads of angst, naturally. I'm sure Sarah will find out Johnny knew about Walt's death at some point and there will be badness.

I read somewhere that they knew that least season was really bad so they were doing their best to make it better this season. ... that's better? Eeep.
