Series finale episode

I would choose "Tailspin" for the series finale episode. A lot of what happened just seemed a lot more meaningful to the cast of characters than in the episode that followed. A couple of the scenes in "Flight Path" were really neat. It's just that if you look at the episode as a whole it doesn't re-cap the series as well. Loved Eli's long-awaited reunion with Dr. Chen in "Tailspin." Loved to see Jordan getting that award. Loved to see Taylor and Jordan getting along so well. There is just too much to list here. -Michelle

Season 1, Episodes 2 through 4 observation

Finally noticed that Episodes 2 through 4 (season one), start almost exactly the same way!! Eli catches the audience up on his life so far through a conversation with a 3rd party. It's hilarious! Of course, for each episode, there are new things to report and it's a different person he's talking to. Which one of these scenes was your favorite?

Eli Stone is not a has-been!

People are still discussing Eli Stone in their blogs today, many months after the series has wrapped up. Notably the Sci fi Wire has mentioned the show on its compilation of musical moments from sci-fi TV shows: http://scifiwire.com/2010/04/12-musical-moments-in-sci.php. The blog gives mention to a scene in "Soul Free," the season one finale, one of my favorite episodes/scenes as well.

Another nice blog entry from today about the show is by Yin Teing, http://life.yinteing.com/2010/04/29/what-we-can-learn-from-eli-stone/.

The show is still being aired on TV around the world, and people still talk about it on Twitter. There are a few people who don't like the show, but for the most part the comments are very positive!

Nate's Wedding

This is Season 2 discussion. Do you think Eli should have told Nate that Beth had reservations about getting married? Do you think Eli tried to shove the whole thing under the carpet by staying away from the couple and hoping they would just go through with the marriage? My opinion: I think Eli had good intentions that simply backfired. He really did not want to see Nate get hurt and he thought perhaps Beth would go through w/ the wedding if he (Eli) stayed out of the way. Why do you think Nate was mad at Eli afterwards? Being that it was Beth's decision not to marry.
I felt sad for Eli that Nate did not direct his anger toward Beth for her wishy-washiness.

Episode discussion: Happy Birthday Nate

While watching the Season 2 episode, "Happy Birthday Nate," I had somewhat of a deja vu moment. During two of the scenes Eli actually falls into a drunken stupor and it is not from drinking alcohol, but because he IS his dad in the vision. Now where have I seen this before, I kept thinking, I know I have seen something like this done in another show or movie. It finally came to me: E.T.!!! It reminded me of the scene in E.T. The Extraterrestial when E.T. finds the beer in the fridge and we all know what happens to Elliott.
