Is this the episode where Lara talks to Catherine about Jordan's visions and also ends up giving Catherine x-rays or medical files with DNA or something that would link the visionary girl genetically back to Jesus...the Gnostic Gospels...Mary Magdelan as Jesus' wife...one of the reasons that I stopped watching in the 3rd season was that they dropped the religious thread in mid-air---

BTW my favorite episode was a Christmas story about Frank's mother (who also saw angels) and Frank re-uniting with his Dad--and his Dad giving Frank a ceramic angel for Jordan whom he had never seen--and Jordan and Frank can see the souls of the dead (including Frank's dad) walking to Church on Christmas Eve?

A great moment - I had forgotten about that one.

I was also disappointed when they dropped the religious and bloodline aspect of the show. I watched open mouthed, I was shocked that these mems were being inserted into popular culture so blatantly.

Do you think someone told them to stop this theme? I mean the idea that MM was Jesus wife is anathema in today's christian culture.

Sorry, but I don't know. I'm not sure if I saw the episode in question. Elements from thre description sound familiar, but also similar to more than one episode I saw. is the theory that Jesus married Mary Magdalen a gnostic tradition?

I had forgotten all about that episode until you mentioned it. I remember just the parts you mentioned, especially the souls walking to church. That must have been from the second season -- otherwise, it would have been more clear in my memory. I wonder who played Frank's father -- possibly the late Darren McGavin (aka Kolchak, the Night Stalker, a Chris Carter favorite)?
