So whats the technical term for Maya and Alejandros power?

I've been wondering that too. Seems like some kind of religious- flavored Crying Virgin Mary-inspired with black blood/tears, but I don't think I've heard them call it something specific. Muerta Eyes?

SAD EYES!

Sad eyes, turn the other way I don't wanna see you cry Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day Wen we would have to say goodbye

(Someone should do a Youtube music-video-mashup thing!)

good job removing rec.sport.pro-wrestling from the headers like a mindless lapdog even though the thread started there.

How about black plague.

As was pointed out elsewhere, it had to be lame or Nikki wouldn't feel guilty enough to put herself in the hands of The Company. Now, I'm not sure it had to be that lame but there you have it.

My vote is for inkeye. (Sounds sort of like pinkeye.)

Some other options:

Negro lágrimas del diablo (black tears of the devil)

Negro lágrimas de la muerte (black tears of death)

Mortal lágrimas de tinta negro (deadly tears of black ink)

Extremadamente aburrido talento http://translate.google.com/translate_t?langpair=es|en (you're going to have to look that one up.)

I hope so. The uninteresting thing so far is the way the story has played out. She gets upset, she cries black tears, people die; or she gets upset, cries black tears, people start to die then her brother calms her down. Over, and over, and OVER. It's also ugly and gross, which wouldn't be a problem if they didn't rely on the effect to take the place of plot development. Sorry, but having that image shoved in my face week after week with little variation in the story is not a substitute for entertainment.

I like the other stories as they are developing. I was surprised and saddened when DJ got shot to death... However, that kind of thing does happen sometimes in real life, and has a legitimate if unfortunate place in the story. At least the plot twist kept us (me, at least) guessing. ('Wait, DJ survived? In the present, he's dead, so how'd he end up dying?'

Interesting, and I completely agree

I first saw it here on rec.arts.tv . No reason why it was only 'started there' whatever you may mean by that.
