Review of So Weird

So Weird (1999–2001)
10/10
Best Disney Show EVER
23 June 2006
SO WEIRD was a show played in Disney Channel whose principal characters were Fi, a 14 years old teenage; Jack, Fi's sister; Molly, a widowed-star; and the Bells. Fiona Phillips (Cara DeLizia) started her first season really good, it was a show. It talked about ghosts, Fi's father, Molly's break-outs and paranormal stuff. Nothing too much special. The second season started better, this time it talked deeper about Rick, about Molly's childhood and warnings to Fi, trying to stop her. Disney would consider this season to be kind of "dark", and when they got known the third one was going to be worse, they tried to cancel the show. Instead of that, they kicked the really EXCELLENT executive producers (Jon Cooksey and Ali Marie Matheson. Since that, the show went down. First, instead of Fi, came this girl, Annie Thelen (Alexz Johnson) replacing her in episode Lighting Rod (the first of the 3rd season). Annie wasn't a girl with a supernatural beginning, but spite of that, the supernatural chased her, as it did to Fi. Annie was protected by her panther and, finally, its finale surprised us a lot and left too much to wish. Nowadays, fans are trying to get it back thru all possible ways, however, Dinsey won't consider it as an idea, a really selfish option in my opinion. So Weird's real 3rd season would have contained this:

In the original ending of "Twin", Rick would have told Fi that she was on the right course, and that she should continue in investigating the paranormal, and that it was her destiny. Then the demon would have returned to attack Fi again, and Rick would've pushed Fi out of the way. The demon and Rick fall over the building and vanish into the Earth. This would have made Fi even more desperate to know if her father is OK.

  • Molly would have gone back on tour as she did in the original season three, and we would follow her growing and blossoming career. -The aliens from "Memory", "Listen", and "Roswell" would have finally contacted Fi, like Molly sees in her dream in "Roswell". They would have shown her the hologram of Rick, with him saying that he knew about the aliens, and that they could help her. Fi would learn that every planet with sentient life had a person like her - someone who was a channel for investigating the paranormal. All of these people like her are destined for a fight against Evil, which is invading the universe. Before the aliens left, they would have indicated to her computer and tell her to get an upgrade after she asks how she can contact them again. - In a later episode Fi would have gone to Tad Raxall for help in getting an "upgrade". Using the translator, and harnessing the power of SETI, he would have made his brower into a REAL universal gateway so that she could e-mail the aliens. - There was to be a Bermuda Triangle episode where Fi gets pulled into an alternate reality where her father never died, she had a little brother, and the Phillips-Kane Band was still together. -Fi would find documents in Melinda's attic giving clues about her father. - We would have discovered where Rick was going the night he died, and what he found there


Besides of that, a soundtrack, two more seasons (without the faked-3rd one, and a probable movie. But, what is weird is that when Annie signed for So Weird, she did for 1 season, no soundtracks but, what is really interesting, a movie. An interview was made to Cara DeLizia last year by an important Maryland magazine, and in this, Cara showed herself pretty interested in coming back (if it was possible, though a movie might never been recorded).

So well, I'd tell the fans to keep the faith, and to remember: Life is SO weird.
