Nice enthusiasm for FP!

Ah, welcome to the club. :-)

I didn't think I'd like it so much, either. But the writers hit the mark almost every time, and I can almost count on the show to reduce me to a weeping idiot almost every week. And I'll face facts: 'One Wrong Move' made me cry harder than I've cried while watching a TV show in a very long time.

Spike is really turning into a dark horse fan-fave, and quite a number of viewers are begging to see more of him. If the writers know what's good for them, they'll indulge the fans where creatively plausible. I don't see him on the chopping block anytime soon.

Thanks :) Is it a secret, hidden club? I've been poking around lj and it kind of seems like that. Where is everyone? (Although I guess that's usually the case with Canadian fandoms that aren't Due South.)

It's a very human show, which I love, even if it does make me cry every week.

And while Spike is my favourite, there's isn't a character I don't like.

Majority of the Flashpoint fans hang out on the Flashpoint Team One page on Facebook, which is run by some of the producers of the show. You can also follow one of the show's creators, Mark Ellis, on Twitter. He's 'Flashpoint_TV'.

I guess the fans haven't quite spilled over onto lj just yet...

Hmm, I don't know if I'm ready for my fannish tendencies to spill over into the real life world of Facebook just yet.... Thanks for the info though.

Well, not like you have to 'like' the group. You can just remain in 'lurk' mode. That way your anonymity is left intact.

Ah, yes, there is that. Good idea.
