The 15 million figure did not have a $ ahead of it. Also, the figure is not in the standard box where the payable amount is put. And the amount is not written in letters as all checks are written. So obviously the series makers purposely left the figure out (just to annoy all of us nitpicky and pedantic viewers).

I prefer NCIS: Hawaii to Origins. The Change in tone reminds me of when SYFY made the change from Stargate Atlantis to Stargate Universe. My question is why alter a successful format?

Poor article. Season 15 episode 19, inherit the earth, was the actual finale in of the storyline. Episode 20, carry on, was really a bonus episode meant to give the series end a closure as opposed to leaving it unclear to the future (think of how Benson ended). And the ending of the boys leaving God powerless, but not killing him was a very strong ending to the seasons compelling arc dealing with God. Yes, Swan Song was a tremendous episode, but I dont know 1 fan that would've preferred the series to end there. I'm quite happy it went 15 years and would've been happy with more. I'm happy TNT is re-airing all of the episodes currently.
