Okay, since this season is nearly over, and I'm bored [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img], I'm going to post some insightful (and even humorous) thoughts/observation concerning Hall's 10 Commandments
Feel free to do the same [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
The 10 Commandments of Joan of Arcadia
1. God cannot directly intervene.
Guess this means that if Adam/Joan danced together, CuteBoyGod can't cut in [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Darn my UC shipper heart...
*ducks from fruit thrown by the J/A shippers* Hey, you know I'm all about, completely stupid for, Adam/Joan!
2. Good and evil exist.
So that is why they factored Iris in to the Joan/Adam relationship! A balance... j/k [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]
On a serious note: This could also explain the Will-cop storyline. Will is basically on the cusp w/ facing both good (his family life) and evil (majority of the cases he's worked on).
3. God can never identify one religion as being right.
And obviously neither can Joan. This is good. Hopefully they'll try to stay true to this commandment. However, I've noticed some inklings of Christianity, but maybe that's me...
4. The job of every human being is to fulfill his or her true nature.
Guess God forgot to tell Joan that a part of the job description is to maintain a semblence of sanity. Then again, the cynic in me also wonders what this commandment must say of the "human being" resposible for inflicting pain on others.
5. Everyone is allowed to say no to God, including Joan.
We've yet to see an episode of that happening... I'm just saying...
6. God is not bound by time -- this is a human concept.
So I guess asking God's age is pretty pointless [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]
7. God is not a person and does not possess a human personality.
[img]smilies/bawl.gif[/img] CuteBoy form... nuff said *sniff*
On a more serious note though: I've found this to be not entirely true. Remember in TF&TW when God commented on how Joan would cry over that "hideous" Titanic song. Isn't that an opinion? And isn't that a human quality? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] Just asking...
8. God talks to everyone all the time in different ways.
*mocking Haley J. Osment* "I see God forms."
Serious note: I wonder, once Joan spills her secret to someone, will God then talk to Joan with said someone around? I think I'll take a part of this to the spoiler/spec thread.
9. God's plan is what is good for us, not what is good for Him.
[img]smilies/mischief.gif[/img] Right... It's just a bonus if it does serve Him some good [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
10. God's purpose for talking to Joan, and to everyone, is to get her (us) to recognize the interconnectedness of all things, i.e. you cannot hurt a person without hurting yourself; all of your actions have consequences; God can be found in the smallest actions; God expects us to learn and grow from all our experiences. However, the exact nature of God is a mystery, and the mystery can never be solved.
So... we're connected to everyone, everything, every action? Smallest pebble can create the biggest ripple? Domino effect? Okay... so in some way shape or form: I'm connected to Kris Lemche? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] Sweet [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
And as for the mystery thing... I'll just take that case to "Unsolved Mysterious" or the Scooby Gang, whichever comes first.
*pulls off God's mask* [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Mr. Price?!

Okay, I tried to be serious and wanted to post thoughtful observations... I tried, I really did... __________________ "Don't you miss me a little?"
"No... please go."
"Do you miss yourself? Because I do."
Joan of Arcadia
Thank you for the ripples.
