Didn’t watch the episode, but read spoilers. Couldn’t stay away. I needed to talk to somebody.

(Side note: If the over-reaching theme of Season 4 is “Actions have consequences, which I hope it is, Hook’s “issues” may yet come home to roost. We’ll see. Or I won’t “see,” but I’ll read. *shrug*)

Anyway, what I came back for: I was thinking about the last TV death I was really upset about (Trip on “Enterprise” … I don’t watch much TV, can you tell?) In the Star Trek novels, they completely ret-conned the death. (They did the same with Data’s in the “Star Trek: Nemesis” movie.) And there have been other times my brain has simply refused to acknowledge something like this (the Lone Gunmen in “The X-Files”) and in my personal head canon, it never happened.

We have lots of really creative people here. Let’s put together our own ret-conned season 3B. And maybe even 4 and beyond …

We could call it “Project Phoenix.”

It doesn’t have to be a total script re-write, although it could go there if we eventually want it to do so. Starting out with the episode names of 3B, those interested could write a synopsis of each episode the way it should have been. Then if there’s still interest, we could write outlines of each episode. Then on to actual vignettes … and/or scripts.

I think it would be cathartic. And even … fun? And Neal would live on in something more than our hearts.

Thoughts?

OMG OnionGirl I love that idea and I would love to be a part of “Project Phoenix” I say let’s do it. Corbin, Phee, etc what do you guys say ?
