Quotes:

Zeke: Uh, the Powers are looking for you and I had to uh, well, tell 'em where you live. So...
Aaron Corbett: You sent killer angels to my house? What about my family?
Zeke: Well, that's a good point, that's a good point. Now, if you're lucky, Verchiel will spend time questioning and... killing them. Nicely, I'm sure, and, uh, then you'll have time to escape.
Aaron Corbett: What?
Zeke: Yes! Well, they're not your family anyway.
Aaron Corbett: I love them.
Zeke: Oh, that's sweet. I'm sure they appreciate it, but you better run right now.
Aaron Corbett: I'm not gonna run. I'm not a coward like you.
Zeke: Courage is vastly overrated.
Aaron Corbett: Why are you doing this? I am not your precious Redeemer.

Followed by "Fallen" (2007)

We are ready for this type of show

I was attracted to this show due to my profession. I am an Angel Interpreter, and professional psychic. Before you dismiss my posting, let me say I have done this professionally since 1995, and have several publications concerning the Angelic Realm. So, although I would never consider myself an expert, let's say I may have more experience than most viewers concerning Angels. Upon saying that, I have to say this show surprised me.

Fallen was far more accurate (as far as my experiences have been) than many of the "fluffy" Angel shows that have been previously aired. FALLEN not only addresses the issues of "Good and Bad" Angels with more neutrality and balance, but will allow us to view Angels as a part of the collective, yet individual. I like the fact that CHOICE was referenced several times. Choice vs.Victim.

I have to say you have a winner here. I can only foresee a good life for this show, as it seems humanity may be ready for more "truth" and less "fluff". Whomever your writers are, kudos. They may know more than they are even conscious of.

I will recommend this show (more than once) in my newsletter to 9000 people.
