Not every TV cliff-hanger features gunshots, explosions and possible deaths. In the case of Numbers, the season ended with fans eager to hear whether Amita (Navi Rawat) would accept a proposal from Charlie (David Krumholtz).

Episode 7, entitled "Primacy," of our fourth season was written by Julie Hébert and directed by Chris Hartwill and focuses on the world of video gaming, namely online role-playing games. I was thrilled that we were finally doing something about nerd culture (we do it again in two weeks with a great episode about comic books) because the show from its inception was meant to speak to that very wide-ranging audience of geeks, dweebs, dorks, nerds and four-eyes.
