Promo pics for ep 1x19:

Jeez, yet another break of a week ... unbelievable ...  

so they air one and then off a week ? lol.
Well at least they are airing them, but now all momentum is gone and different day, many fans of the show
will miss these.

Beth is feeling better but still has problems. I was surprised she kissed Jack at end because yes he helped her but they hadn't really been close. She most of time was annoyed until Ray came to get her.

Nice that Ben is coming along well. I also like Janice and Jack working together. It is nice that Jack is in a better place now, He has his son and his ex isn't after him to leave town.

Francine Johnson getting stabbed to death wasn't a good start. She fought back, but was stabbed in the end. She thought it was her ex John. But she is victim of the next serial stalker/killer. Call Criminal Minds. Nice for Det. Baer to bring it to Greggs attention.

The case with the ex Darren Tyler in sex addict classes and Pam's ex work mate Clay Adams after her that it wasn't all cut and dried for me to figure her stalker. But with all these stalked women they do spend a lot of night hours in dimly lit areas. Even being home alone the drapes are open and the lights aren't to bright. Grab some Wine and hit the shower, or change to small pjs.

I was surprised that Agent Vicky Gregg also have a stalker/maybe murdering ex Will. But at least all 3 actors, Will, Darren and Clay have played baddies in the past and not just have one that pops to the top as a registered heavy. My dad would always point out that in certain shows be it Gunsmoke or Hawaii 5-0(original) that a certain person is the heavy or bad guy even before the story begins. And today I can kind of see that too as people are introduced into episodes.

Nice for Vicky to have Beth look into her case. So she thinks that her ex Will killed Stan Gardner's wife. Stan is in prison for it. But buddy and fellow druggie Barry Newley had an alibi for him. So we have a couple more stories to solve soon.

Darren Tyler and John Murray in same support group. Well we talked to Wanda, but what about the missing Rachelle? Maybe my first suspect.

hey webruce !
So we have a couple more stories to solve soon..... yeah but only one ep left to solve them!!!!!!!!
So I am doubting this show has a end to it.

I finished "allegiance" and surprising to me it had a decent ending!!!
So that is like a miniseries That I can reccomend to you guys. 13 eps and a ending.

This ep of stalker was ok,  and they are adding the  serial killer , but as a fan knowing it is over I am more looking for a wrap up next ep.

 maybe she retires  and her and dylan run off together !

Hi webruce!
Good to see you around more lately.
I think you are right. This new serial killer has to be one (Rachelle?) from the support group. Obviously a clever move (only from the view of criminal of course) to join a love/sex addicts support group and go after the exes of the addicts. So the suspects for stalking and murder would always be the already troubled addicts first.
Is it possible, that Vicky's ex is the serial killer?
After all ep 1x19 was better than thought (considering the great eps 1x17 and 1x18 before, which fealt as the finale already), had enough suspense and twists to look forward to the next ep. So it looks like another season could have worked for me, but as we know by now, Stalker is cancelled and that CSY Cyber thing is renewed ...
Oh, and it was a nice plus to have David Anders as a guest star. He's doing a good job in Izombie btw, have you or your wife ever considered to give that a try? I pretty like it and it's not like the usual zombie stuff, that I can assure you!

1) Yeah, Allegiance was surprisingly good and entertaining. It was suspenseful, action-packed and fast paced stuff. The ending was more than correct, so as you said, it can be perfectly watched just as a miniseries. It doesn't have the depth and historical aspect of The Americans, but that's no problem for me. I'm wondering why it was blamed to be a (cheap) copy of the Americans, because regarding the ratings The Americans is not a widely watched show, so there are not many potenial viewers who could even bother some similar aspects??
A similar case for me is American Odyssey. It's not revolutionary and I already know it's doomed because of the ratings, but it's suspensful to watch, especially the story in Africa around the main actress, who's doing a good job. And think it could be wrapped up with a satisfying ending within the 13 eps, so I have good hope it will become another one of those nice little miniseries.

2) That won't happen, because the showrunner was hoping for another season, which we know by now will not be the case.

2) That won't happen, because the showrunner was hoping for another season, which we know by now will not be the case....... yeah they really crapped on stalker, I think maybe some of the online
critics hurt.
Maybe it was costly?
but it had better ratings than the cyber show.
Ratings are a big factor , but on bubble shows other things come into play.
But this show was treated badly and not giving it a proper ending is bad too.
We can look at 18 as a finale though.

I just read that they may make a new dexter series in the future if M hall will come back as dexter.
They want to reinvent the show.
So after some time off maybe he will want to do it.
