If you look at the Extra's Casting - we're around Feb 4th (with 2.17).
And Charlie appears pretty consistently after that - a little too much for it to be a hallucination/flashback/reshoot.
Jason's name however stops appearing sometime around 2.18 - but there are tons of stand ins listed for Utility (which I take to mean, they know they need a character stand in and don't want to reveal it/don't know which one yet - just need one cast for the date.), so any of those could be Jason.
I think Kripke's aware of the strength of the Matheson family as a unit (he can't see the flaws which is annoying) and if he felt like the show was threatened with cancellation (which it kinda is) there's no way he'd end in any way that didn't come full circle a little bit - and prematurely killing off main characters BEFORE the finale would be stupid and wasteful.
So killing off Jason makes sense. People (*shrugs*) like Jason. Jason's been through some stuff (*looks unsure*). He's not integral to the story/dynamics - a la, Maggie, Danny, Nora - that Kripke's interested in. And I would give anything for it to be Miles who does it, just to get Marlie talking again, or I guess shouting. As much as I love that they resolved their friction. I'd rather HAVE friction than no relationship at all. And killing her 'first love' (COUGH) if he goes into a murderous rage or whatever would totally get some friction happening.

NBC renewed 3 of their shows today. Revolution isn't one of them. But at least it's not canceled, so there's hope. Right?
