I would really hate to see Jamey Sheridan leave--he's so terrific at playing Deakins, a good character--but of course it's his decision/contract. I find it odd that we haven't heard so much talk of him leaving and/or the replacement, normally you hear a month or so in advance. Sigh, either way, I hope they don't screw it up.
As to Barek/Logan getting the finale, I personally prefer Eames/Goren so I'm disappointed, but not mad. If G/E got the season opener, then it's fair and even that B/L get the conclusion. And the writers/production team, unfortunately, still have to prove to the fans that Logan and Barek are equal members of the team. They might have come up with the two-team split to ease the burden on D'Onofrio (and, by extension, Erbe), but the characters are not substitutes or inferiors. I think they're trying to beat it into the audience's heads that "They're not the same, but they're part of the family, and we're not gonna treat 'em like dirt out of spiteful loyalty to the originals." I'm glad to see them getting good scripts and equal time.
