Jon Cooksey is outstanding. He e-mailed me a 25 page FAQ that has all kinds of information in it, including behind the scenes stuff, info about the original plans, and Molly's powers. I would recommend reading ALL of it because it's jam-packed.
For some reason, the "Add Attachment" feature is not working for me, so I am linking you to it.
HERE it is.
EDIT: I think this is actually the same one that Gabby already posted at the end of the first post here so it's not actually different except for some outdated cast info at the bottom. I could be wrong, though, so go ahead and look through both, if you feel so inclined. Sorry for any confusion!

All I asked was about Banshee and he responded within minutes and gave me all this other stuff without me even asking for it. I am going to read through all of this and make comments about it at some point, but I have way too much schoolwork right now.

Read through this earlier.
I think what was most interesting to me about this whole thing was Jon's explanation of Molly's beliefs. If Molly really did believe in the paranormal, or at least knew/suspected that she had experiences with magical powers at a young age, then even after "Strange Geometry" and hearing Fi talk about how she had always felt different from everyone, Molly still wasn't completely open with her. Makes me sad for Fi.
I don't know if I would have liked the show to be in Hope Springs all the time. Traveling around the country was a big part of what made So Weird what it was. Hope Springs never felt like Sunnydale or Eerie, Indiana to me, and I don't know if it could have.
Also, he said that they never planned a story for Fi being possessed by Bricriu, so that rumor is false.
I really wish we could see the original ending for "Twin."
I wonder if the body that the powers-that-be would have created for Rick would have looked the same or totally different. I mean, if it looked the same, people would have wondered how he was still alive.
It's funny to me that the guy in the original Rick and Fi photo wasn't even an actor. Did they just pull him aside on the street, hand him a baby, and take a pic? Haha
Overall, it's still so amazing to me how much went into and was planned for this show.

Yeah it was really thought out and written well...unlike Once Upon A Time, LOL.

I don't know about Once Upon a Time, but I hate when you watch a show that seems to have all these mysteries building up to something and then you find out that they actually had no idea where they were going with it, and they just made something up at the end.
But I don't know what's worse, that or knowing that a show like So Weird would have had a great plot arc but it never came to be.
