Saw the whole of tumblr go crazy about this one, likely because of the reasons you mentioned. *g* As far as I can tell everyone simply wants Crane to walk around an react to all the new stuff and historic developments.

Oh and what's cool is: actor Orlando Jones is on twitter and tumblr and breaks the fourth wall even more than the show ("Fan fic? bring it on!"). XD It's kind of hilarious. I'll likely watch it when it comes over here, I just don't have the patience to watch all that online.
