That's actually a very good point -- if the Rock caused the physics anomaly, perhaps that would make for a more interesting outcome in terms of concept/plot.
On the Easter eggs: thanks for bringing that up. I too agreed with King's exhortation. Maybe I'm too old to appreciate them, but we really don't need eggs; if you want to reference something, make it the fully-formed subject of an episode and not something that is simply embryonic, so to speak. That bit at the end of the series, the joke...really didn't need that, and it went against the overall tone given the rest of the series. I myself wouldn't mind seeing an old storyline come back, as I've said, but I can see your point as well about new tales. Too bad the series couldn't focus on a strange writer who is somehow connected to all the supernatural goings-on. Granted, that's a bit too on-the-nose and has been done to death, but I guess my point is, focus on a fun concept and not the melodramatic acting (as good as the acting was, maybe loosen it up a bit; Levy's approach to her character could perhaps be used as a roadmap).
