@zergy: i read it as you asking for whatwere thought of as unresolveed storylines from season 1, to me Season 1 includes comics due to how closely they're tied and the fact that they hav full summaries.

Fair enough, Regulus. My take on the matter is that the Serpent shouldn't factor in as a story thread that Season 2 should pick up, because of two reasons:

1. Some people don't read the comics. Despite the tight integration between show and comics, resolving a dangling thread from the comics is only going to result in mass confusion for some. For example, I was scratching my head at that Etrigan episode in TNBA; Etrigan and Jason Blood were first introduced in the tie-in comics.

2. In any case it is possible that the Serpent is only a throw-away MacGuffin. Or, knowing Greg, a Chekhov's Gun, to be resolved in future comics issues.
