NEW PILLER AT THE USA!
Piller has a new Behind The Scenes up at USA's site. It's as usual a great read!
He talks about Ascent how Jack Nicholson was almost death and how his mother's having a near death expereince helped build this episode.
There are also spoilers for The Outsider so if you don't want to know, don't read, as well as some insite into Sarah and her characters development.
This is my favorite quote from the letter

The entire future of this television show could be determined by what my chiropractor's wife says.
