I've wondered for a while now. At what point in the writing was it that you
knew that you wouldn't return to Jeremiah even if there were a third season?

I'm going to miss finding out what Smith might have been like without the
voice.

It was an incremental process. I began the season thinking that if certain
things changed, then I could stay on, providing there was a third season (which
would have been more probable if I had gone that way)...but if certain things
did *not* change, then there was no way in god's green earth that I could stay
on beyond that point.

I think I crossed that particular rubicon about two or three episodes in....

Well you still did a great season even so, thanks. I enjoyed Samm Barnes'
work, too, especially 'Rites of Passage'.

Hope S2 comes out on DVD...

So did this effect the ending of the season?  Would you have ended it
differently if you knew there would be another season?
