YES! The series wasn’t that high quality, but it was one of those things I watch when I want something fun and mindless, or I want to watch something with dinosaurs that isn’t Jurassic Park. I was kind of annoyed that...

*SPOILER*

...they left half their characters stuck in the past as a typical end-of-season cliffhanger then the execs were like “sorry, the series is cancelled!”

*END SPOILER*

Well, it’s been extremely heavily implied/shown that when Echo is ‘wiped’ it doesn’t really erase all the memories, it just represses them. So, she’s simultaneously got no mind of her own and the minds of everyone she’s been so far, sort of like she’s got DID with ‘Echo’ being the dominant identity.

One positive about FF. In the 10/08 episode the female FBI agent makes a reference to the White Rose as they visit the aged Nazi. I’m shocked that Hollywood writers exist who would know anything about The White Rose.

Good news for Chuck fans! It's coming back SOON. Likely related to NBC's axing of Southland after deciding the 6 episodes that were already shot were unsuitable for the post-Leno 9PM slot it was given. Both Southland and Chuck were scheduled for Fridays so that either means they'll either move the 8PM show to 9PM and put Chuck at 8PM (my hope) or they'll run Chuck at 9PM on Fridays up against Stargate Universe (which I hope they don't do, though I'll watch Chuck and catch SGU via DVR if they do). The question remains whether Chuck can get decent ratings at 8PM or 9PM on Fridays.
