I thought it was kind of shabby that this episode of Joan didn't get any "Season Finale!!!!1!' hype. Not that it was a great big honkin' dramatic finale, but one that set us up for next season... which may or may not come. Le sigh.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Is Joan on the bubble, Theo? I hadn't realized.

OK, you said Joan of Arcadia, and I feel a need to vent.
If all they can come up with is more G -vs- S diatonomy, I'm willing to switch channels.
eta: OK "diatonomy" is not word. It ought to be.

I don't think it is that simple -- at least not the way they portrayed it last night.
Yes, JoA is on the bubble.

Darn, it's a good show. I watched it with my whole family last night.

The bad guy/cutie/Satan was opposed to Joan and was clever about charming his way into the mix.
I saw this three times on TV recently. Tru, Point Pleasant, and Joan.

Well, I had fears -- mostly due to Tru - and because of the way that they had "Sympathy for the Devil" on the soundtrack when they introduced Ryan. Well, JoA is better written than Tru. And to me, what they introduced was much less heavy-handed than I suspected it would be from last week. Perhaps I just trust that they are going to do a better job than I trust the people behind Tru Calling.

Personal issues, JoA:
When they pull out the wind machine to let me know this is the bad guy, I get jumpy. JoA has some great stuff (Punk God being 'way up there, along with Surfer Nun.) I think they can lose the whole of Joan's family, though, even if all those actors have knocked it out of the park.

What is even happening?
I think they need to lose the wind machine, particularly since we know that Ryan is human. Custodian!God said so.
And since Ryan is human, I think this could turn out to be really good. This cast has made a season's worth of sub-par (if season 1 could be considered par) writing, worth watching. It would be most interesting I think, if they went very subtle with it, next season--so that it wasn't so much a battle against Ryan, as Joan battling to bring him back.
Also? The Kevin and Lily dynamic is great, too. I was crying, last night.
Finally... I still want to shove Rove in a locker, the little asshat.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I was in the middle of my JoA tape and forgot about Little House on the Prarie. Fucking hell.
Now I'm watching the second half of LHotP. I take it that the government has told them to get off the land ?
