“The 4th and Final Season of this fan favorite! Jarod is a genius of exceptionally high I.Q. who was brought up at the Centre, a clandestine research facility where he was kept against his will until he managed to escape. Although constantly on the run from Miss Parker, one of the Centre’s most deadly agents, Jarod uses the unique abilities he learned there to help innocent victims get the justice they deserve. He also continues to hold out hope of finging his missing family. But what he never expected to find is evidence of an old DNA experiment that connects his father and Miss Parker’s murdered mother – and experiment which creates an ironic link between hunter and prey.”

A Pretender’s Thoughts: The Mall, [PG], 2/2

Rating: PG
Chapters: 2 of 2
Completed: Yes (might add to it but can stand alone)
Categories: Plot? What Plot?
Genre: Comedy
Characters: Jarod
Warnings: None

Summary: Jarod’s thoughts as he’s running from Miss Parker and The Centre. “The funny things that run through your mind when you’re trying to escape the clutches of an evil corporation hell bent on capturing you so you can perform experiments to further their agenda. Now if that ran through your head it might not be funny but disturbing.”

Author’s Note: I consider this story finished but I may add more “journal” entries by Jarod and other characters. Haven’t decided yet.

    The Pretender Gone

    • Post category:from HQ

    You may have noticed that the front page is missing Upcoming Episodes for The Pretender. Why is this? Because TNT dropped The Pretender from it’s lineup. Why didn’t we expect this? Since The Pretender was on NBC, Jarod and company has been fighting a never-ending battle to stay on the air and it happened again.

    What should we do?
    The only thing we can. Start writing TNT emails and letters. You can email TNT at tnt@turner.com or write them at:

    TNT
    1050 Techwood Drive NW
    Atlanta, GA 30318

    Please do NOT be cruel. Make it something witty or extremely nice. Don’t make them mad simply show them that we are watching and we want Jarod back on the TV. Maybe they’ll get the hint.

    Soon-to-be real-life “Housewife” Marcia Cross showed off her new rock for the first time, which she received from fiancee Tom Mahoney. “He picked it out all by himself,” Cross told us.

    Felicity Huffman and husband William H. Macy spent much of the night arm in arm, and they were happy to talk about their love story. “I’m the luckiest guy in the whole world to be married to her,” Macy told us.

    Huffman gave one of the night’s most memorable acceptance speeches after winning the Best Actress in a Comedy Award, proclaiming tearfully, ” I would like to thank the incomparable William H. Macy, for taking a chunky 22-year-old with a bad perm and glasses out into a cow pasture and kissing me and making me his wife.” Read More
