ok, anyone wanna talk about miracles? It was finally on, and I was one happy girl.

Not one of their best shows, but they were cutting down on the girl. She was only on screen for a few pivotal seconds, and that's good. I knew they'd find their stride with her. I like that she is becoming the pivot point between Keel and Paul.

She didn't show blind loyalty to either man, and I can see her real role as being the one to even out the two guys. They're both so intense, and we've just seen sometimes after different things, that she bridges the gap between the two. i don't want to say mediator, because she doesn't smooth things over between the two.

Funny how I'm saying that I'm only lukewarm about the show, and I actually see reason for the girl! Quick, someone find the REAL Lost Angel!

The next one looks delicious though! Skeet in a scruffy beard and wife-beater (what my father calls the tank tops) and totally not his fuzzy wuzzy cuddly self, I'm on pins n needles!

Edited to say: sorry about the title, don't know where it came from!

I so missed it! I woke up at 2 this morning going, "I forgot to watch Miracles!"

Just kick me. I deserve it.

Okay, though, recount to me all the sexy Keel parts. (Not that it's not all about Wash) But anyway, were there any sexy foreign language accent parts?

nope.

Frankly you didn't miss anything.

Paul and Alva got into a big fight, Paul went off to save the God is No Where people who were being picked off.

Alva stayed where he was.

I was going to post a recap, but I don't know if people want spoilers.

Lemme know if they want a recap, and I'll post it.

But the fight. Was Alva all sexy? And deep and brooding? Like he might maybe need me to come over and make him a sandwich or something, you know, to help him take his mind off things?

OK, I posted this on fox.com, so fair's fair. Here's the recap of Miracles for anyone who missed it:

A kid (ok, 19-ish but a YOUNG 19) is in a car, it's raining outside, and he's pleading with someone that he doesn't want to do it anymore, people are starting to get hurt, PLEASE don't make me do it. Then he says, OK, what do I have to do? He get's out of the car, and you find out that there was no one else in the car. (du,du, DU)

He goes in and kills this woman.

The cops come in and start going over the crime scene. The see her journal and one of the pages has GOD IS NOWHERE across one page in jagged red letters. The next page is a pencil drawing of Paul Callen with his name on the bottom of the page. So one of the cops goes to visit Paul, who is seen playing basketball at the church. He is all cute and sweaty and stuff, and very surprised that a cop wants to talk to him. He doesn't know the woman's name when it's said, and is surprised when told that she's dead. The cop wants to know where he was last night, blah, blah, blah. Paul says that he wouldn't understand. He was alone at such and such an address in the dark, waiting for the walls to talk. If the cop had 3 hours, he'd tell him the short version. Then he explains that the people he works for investigates strange phenomenon. As the cop is leaving, he asks if the phrase GIN means anything to him. Of course Paul lies.

So, Paul goes over to the office and asks Alva if a cop came by to ask for him, which Alva confirms. Paul is upset that there was no warning about this, and then asks why he's different, why he saw a different message? Alva is typically cryptic. Cut to the end of the day, and Paul is asking the girl (keep forgetting her name) if he can see the files on the 6 hemography people. She says that Alva has them in his office. So, Paul breaks into the office to look for the files. While looking through the files, he reads notes about this woman who dreams of him, one of the dreams is of Paul standing in front of a fountain talking to HIS FATHER!! (gasp) the conversation turns angry, and the water in the fountain turns red. There is also a drawing of Paul, the same drawing as the one found in the dead woman's journal, but this one is dated 1998.

So Paul confronts Keel on why he kept this information from him. Alva keeps ranting about how hard it is to replace the window that Paul broke, and Paul is steadily getting more and more pissed. Finally Paul asks if he realizes that of the 6 people who saw the message, 4 are already dead in the past week, all from different methods. Alva does not know this, and this shuts him up. The only two left are the woman who dreams about Paul and an older man who changed his name and dropped out of existance 20 years ago. Paul feels that it is his duty to try to save them, and Alva advises against it. Strongly. Throwing in fightin' words here and there. Paul storms out of the office.

Cut to Paul's apartment, there's a knock at the door and it's the chick who asks what happened, there's glass everywhere, and Alva won't tell her anything. He fills her in, and she's shocked that Alva would hide anything having to do with Paul's father from him. He tells her that he's going to try to save the other two people, gives her his travel plans, and then tells her not to tell Keel.

The next day, Alva asks her if she's seen Paul, to which she lays into him about withholding the info about Pauls father. He says that he can't try to influence Paul in any way because Paul is destined for great things, either good or evil. She asks why he can't be influenced towards good, and he says that any kind of influence would be bad. Then the cop walks in and asks where Paul is. He said that he left a message with the cop stating that 2 people were about to die, and he was going to try to stop it. The girl reluctantly gives Paul's flight number, destination, and time of arrival.

The next scene is the airport, but you see the kid has arrived before Paul has. You then see him walk into a gun store and try to buy a gun. He tries to buy a handgun, but since he has an out of state licence, the store clerk can't legally sell him a handgun, so he sees the dissappointed look on the kid's face and offers to show him his line of shotguns.

Then you see Paul get off the plane. He is met by two plainclothes policemen, and they escort him to the local police station. There he tries to explain this whole weird mess to the unbelievers.

You cut to the kid, he's on the phone, talking to his mom, saying how he's under a lot of pressure, and he'll try to be home for spring break. You hear the conversation off screen, but it slowly shows him polishing the shot gun. He sees a police car pass by the house, and then hears the answering machine go off, it's the woman remotely accessing her answering machine. The first message is from the police station, asking her to call them immediately, the second is from Paul asking her to call his cell phone immediately. The kid looks at her appointment book to see that she's at the hairdressers.

Paul tells the policemen that he has no idea who she is, but he must talk to her, as someone is trying to kill her. Then his cell phone rings, and it's the woman, who talks to him like a long lost nephew she hasn't seen in ages, as she has dreamed about him for years. He tells her to get to the police station immediately as they have much to talk about. As she gets in her car, she is met by the kid, who shoots her. The police find her body and Paul, who is upset, tries to leave because there is one more person out there who is going to be killed. The police want to keep him there because even though he was at the station when the murder occurred, he obviously has knowledge of what's going on. Then Alva sweeps into the interrogation room with a writ of Habeus Corpus for Paul and they leave. Another cop comes in and says that they caught the guy who did it, and they want Paul to try to identify him, which Paul says is useless, because he doesn't know what anyone looks like. They show him the suspect and he says he doesn't know the guy. Of course Paul wouldn't, because they caught the wrong guy.

Paul and Alva have words again. There are different shots of them, and I expected to see a fountain in the background, but I was dissappointed. Paul says that they want different things, and he doesn't know why Alva is doing this, but it's for different reasons than Paul's. Alva then tells how while doing research for a graduate degree, he hears his mother's voice on a recording of bird calls that he's been researching. His mother is calling him Mango, his childhood nickname, except that his mother had been dead for over a year at the time. He then gives Paul the updated information to the last person.

Paul rushes to find the guy, who lives on the Oregon/Washington border. He opens the door and finds the kid with an iron in his hand. Paul thinks the kid is the person he is trying to save (which makes no sense since he's been in hiding for 20 years, and this kid looks barely old enough to drive) The kid keeps saying, Paul, you shouldn't be here but Pau1, misunderstanding him, tries to tell him that things are ok, he's been targeted for murder, but they caught the guy who did it. Then the guy comes home. The kid whacks Paul upside the head with the iron.

He comes to to find the kid beating the old guy in the head with the iron. There's a scuffle, and the kid is really strong considering how small and scrawny he is. Either that or Paul was really off his game that day. So, Paul subdues the kid, finds the old guy still breathing, and calls the police.

In the police car the kid starts talking saying that God told him to do it, that he was told about the 9 unbelievers and that Tommy visits him too. He says that he saw GOD IS NOW HERE, just like Paul, and that means that Paul is now the chosen one to finish out killing the rest. He says he's sorry that he didn't kill the old guy, because that means that there's more work for Paul to do. They get to the police station. Paul is very stunned that there are 3 more out there, and slow to react as the kid takes a gun off a deputy and kills himself. Then Paul's at the hospital getting checked out, he finds out the old man will live, but then he has a vision of killing the old guy, but doesn't act on it.

He gets home, and Alva asks if the kid said anything to him, and then Paul says no, he didn't say anything. Alva asks if he's decided to stay. Paul says, NO. Then asks what the next assignment is.

Comments?

Keel's nickname as a kid was "Mango"?

I so know that's not the point, just thought it might be funny to say.

Are you getting the vibe that Keel might be Paul's father, too? After the one with the Little Girl Who Brings Death, where he was so insistent that Paul get back to Boston to see his maybe-father, that I really started to think it was him.
