Hi all,

I've only just started watching the first season of Numb3rs and got an immediate bad feeling about Amita. Going from what I've read about season two and three, this feeling isn't unjustified.
Ofcourse this leaves me doubting if I should actually continue watching beyond season one?

I don't know if any of you ever watched The Sentinel years ago

Well, I would definitely go into season two, since there are some very good moments for the Eppes family in it, but episodes to prepare for are Bettor or Worse, Harvest, and Undercurrents. Amita has her little moments every episode or two but those three are the worst because they deal directly with Charlie and Amita becoming an item.

However, season three is nothing but-- they hook up in the first episode and from then on its been an exercise in Charmita. If Charlie is your favorite character and you decide to watch season three, I suggest finding an alternative means of entertainment (like Larry and Megan's relationship, or Don's state of near-breakdown) because Charlie and Amita become appendages of each other. You pretty much won't see him without her, and for the fraction of the time that you do, she comes up somehow.

As for anti-Amita fanfic, I only wrote an alternate ending to the second season. misslindalee is writing a whole series featuring her original characters (one of whom becomes Charlie's girlfriend as opposed to Amita.) I'm not sure if there's much else out there.

Thanks for the plug, Tess, but you forgot to mention "Convergence" as well. :) Darknyss, welcome, and please do watch at least Season 2, but as Tess said: Season 3 is something that bears fastforwarding through Charmita - I personally watch for Megan and Larry and Don. *grins*

Damn, I did. I even like Penfield, too. He makes a great antagonist. >)

Well, as they say forewarned is forearmed.
Thanks for the advice, I think I'll just put my fingers in my ears and sing loudly when I watch season three. It's a good thing I like Don, Megan and Larry.
