Someone is sending him messages via people (including George Michael!) on how to change his life or help other people.

I've just seen the 2nd ep and that's the impression that I'm getting.

okay sounds cool

I've been watching Veronica Mars a lot lately, and just seeing Veronica makes me compare her to Joan and it's just amazing how normal Joan was. I mean, Veronica has had all this crap happen to her so she can become this fiesty character in order to make the show. But Joan is just pretty normal, bar the Kevin accident thing, but even still that's only not normal in the fact that it's the unluckily relatively few families that have to deal with that type of thing. And so it's the fact that she's talking to God that makes the show have a deal (not just a normal teen soapy type drama), but Joan has an actual person is just regular. And I like that.

I'm not sure how much sense I'm making 'cos I probably need sleep. Might clarify later.

I think I know where you're coming from Anna.

I like Veronica Mars too, but a lot of it was unrealistic with her doing the PI work etc staying up all night. A lot of what she was doing was breaking the law or close to.

clueless01

yeah, and Veronica can get mightily annoying at time, she's flawed I suppose, but sometimes it borders on irratating, I didn't have that problem with Joan, save for maybe Wealth of Nations. I wasn't a fan at all of "Joanith", I pretty much hated them, actually.

Just Peachy.

I didn't mind Judith as she showed a different side to Joan, while not likeable it was interesting to watch.

clueless01

I almost turned off during Wealth of Nations "Joanith" annoyed me sooo much. Well, okay I would never turn off JoA. But, I really think that they went too far trying to push the Judith/Joan friendship on us. If they could have done it without making Joan annoying when she was around Judith, that would have been really quite preferable.

Just Peachy.

It was an interesting move to push Joan that far. I think I kept watching as I wanted to know what was going to happen

clueless01

They pushed it a little too much over for my annoyance level. but that's just me, I think people felt differently. Shocker.

Just Peachy.

You can only push people so far. I know that they've stopped watching some shows (Grey's Anatomy is one of them) as the characters were getting too annoying and I just couldn't be bothered with it anymore.

clueless01

I never liked Grey's, but yeah I've given up on some recently, like Heroes. But I was never close to giving up on JoA, I just didn't enjoy the first few Judith episodes.

Just Peachy.

I've also given up on Lost ... too confusing Heroes I kind of half watch while reading a book

JoA I didn't want to give up on as I just wanted to wait for it to improve. I stuck through Roswell for 3 season

clueless01

I still watch Lost, I'll admit I've contemplated ditching it though, just because they don't give us any damn answers, which is aggravating, if it weren't for the discussion potential of it (both my brothers watch it too) and Sawyer then I probably would have ditched it. I just can't do heroes any more, lost interest. I never even thought about stopping watching Roswell, even in it's more annoying moments (like some of season 3), I still loved it.

Just Peachy.

I still think Roswell had some good episodes ....... but I think as it had such a strong first season it was hard to beat that. Plus I think they had a few writers leave etc.

I also loved Everwood that was also a strong show.

clueless01

yes, I prefer the first season too, once you got hooked on the characters though, like with JoA, even a couple not so good episodes don't put you off.

Yeah, Everwood was a great show, another tragic cancellation, it deserved more, but four seasons is pretty good.
