I am – Hercules!!

A source deep inside NBC Universal says the network has stopped promoting what I regard as one of fall’s best new shows, “Journeyman,” and will cancel it unless the two-parter airing tonight and next Monday brings big numbers.

The source, a big proponent of the show, describes the two-parter as “super-dark and twisted.”

The show has five new episodes to air, including tonight’s. Whether NBC actually airs them is in question.

Our source says these final five episodes will tell us great deal more about how and, more importantly, why Dan (from 2007) and Livia (from 1948) are being slung through time.

NBC says of the two-parter:

"EMILY"

Katie (Gretchen Egolf) wonders what effects Dan's disappearances are having on Zack (Charles Henry Wyson) when she is called into his school. Meanwhile, Jack (Reed Diamond) remains skeptical, but begins to see evidence that Dan might be telling the truth about his travels. Moon Bloodgood and Brian Howe also star.
