I've noticed a lot of people reading about Invisible Man's cancellation, and saying "Awww Man". So, how 'bout we just have one big thread to mourn our lost(damm good show), and remember the good ol' days..
BTW, does anyone know what/when the last episode will be?
I remember watching it on its first night. Basic plot of criminal, getting caught, cool brother, gets him out of it only if he becomes a science project, ends up being appart of some big government operation thing..brother gets killed. I loved every minute of it.
Saddest thing is, we never got to see any action figures out of the deal. *sigh*

This was such a fine show: action, drama, comedy, cool special effects. The pilot movie was so intense I watched it twice the very same night. Darien Fawkes is the ultimate definition of anti-hero. There's not an altruistic bone in his body (at least he thinks so).
My only complaint is that when they started the series after the movie there were like three or four episodes before Kevin was even mentioned. It was like they'd forgotten that Darien's brother was the scientist responsible for this incredible technology and he was killed! I really liked the second season's opening credits where Darien went from saying "...some scientists created a gland..." to "...my brother created..." One of my favorite episodes was (just in case I'm using the spoiler feature) when Clare was able to inject Kevin's RNA into the gland and he 'came to life' in Darien's body so he could figure out how to remove the gland. In the end 'Kevin' knows that the gland was the best thing to ever happen to Darien.
The run was just too darn short for such an incredible show. In Darien's words: "Aw crap."

The two-hour 'pilot'. It was shot more like a movie than a series episode. It shows how Kevin gets Darien to agree to the expiriment and how he learns to control the QS. Things go down hill from there.
I really wished I'd taped it at the time, it was so darn good, even as a stand alone. I hope they rerun it eventually.

I-Man really was one of the best shows I'd seen in a long time, but Sci-Fi, being Sci-Fi, they cancelled it. One of their highest rated shows, and they cancel it.
I loved everything about the show: the writing, the acting, the effects, the characters, the storyline. It could've gone on for a few more seasons. It should've gone on for a few more seasons.
The quote in my sig is from the pilot movie. I was thinking of changing it, but I'll leave it up in memory of The Invisible Man.
