Quotes:

Jarod: [talking by a fire - Jarod had just put a blanket around Miss Parker shoulders to keep her warm] The Centre wants us to believe that finding the truth is a mistake, that looking for answers about who we really are is futile and finding any kind of... connection outside their control is wrong. I know you don't want to hear this but you can feel it. You've been a Centre prisoner all these years just like me. And with every discovery you find you're every bit the outcast. Just like me.
Miss Parker: Why is it that the one person that I've been trained to distrust, to hate, to capture is always with me during the most difficult moments of my life?

Best Movie Yet

I am a big fan of The Pretender and especially Michael T. Weiss. This was a great movie and I see more each time I watch it. The disappointment came with so few answers and so many questions. And that near miss of a kiss - would have been much better with the kiss. I hope TNT does not leave the fans hanging without answers. If there can be only one more movie, let it have a conclusion for Jarod and Miss Parker. We have been intrigued over and over again but left with so many questions unanswered. The fans are there TNT - bring on the conclusion - we are waiting.
