回复 :新剧《灵界》（The Fades）被制片人描述为「相当长一段时期内人们在电视上见过的最吓人的电视剧集」。该剧描述一个17岁少年能够看见死者的精灵，一种被称为「逝者」的东西。这种东西不是鬼魂，不是吸血鬼和狼人，也不是民间传说中任何一种怪物，而是一种全新的东西。活人见不到他们，听不到他们，闻不到他们，也感觉不到他们的存在。但是如今生与死的界限开始模糊，「逝者」突破束缚进入了活人的世界。一个叫Paul的少年能够用肉眼看到「逝者」，他和他的朋友Mac将承担起驱除邪灵、保护人类的重任。一开始，Paul总是被「世界末日」的噩梦惊醒，他的心理医生对此无能为力。后来Paul亲眼见到自己身边被「逝者」环绕，才明白发生了什么事。与此同时，女主角Sarah能够预见未来，并因此遭到「逝者」的袭击。当Sarah神秘消失后，她的前夫Mark开始四处寻找她。——天涯小筑

回复 :Season 3: 2001–2002Cast: Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Martin SheenThe third season, which covers the administration's third and fourth years in office, starts off with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for reelection and is heavily devoted to the upcoming presidential election. Other prominent plotlines include Congressional investigations into whether Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with a Secret Service agent assigned to her, the Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef plotting terrorist attacks against the US, and a troubling meeting between Toby and the President that leaves Bartlet with a bout of insomnia in "Night Five." The season finale, "Posse Comitatus" closes several of these storylines as Bartlet meets his opponent in the elections and reaffirms his commitment to beat him. The episode ends with the president finally deciding to order Shareef's assassination (a legally questionable act) and C.J.'s agent's murder, just after the man threatening C.J. was caught.From a critical perspective, series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism-related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real-life 9/11 attacks were awkward at times, saying "from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I didn't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I wasn't doing that used to make the show work. [...] Maybe there was a way to make it work; there probably was. I wasn't able to find it in twenty-two episodes." [1] Nonetheless, the show went on to win its third "Outstanding Drama" Emmy in a row.
