I'm really excited about downloading torrents. Since a few weeks before leaving the U of O, I've made it a habit to always be downloading episodes from one television show or another. I actually spend more time watching downloaded programs than I do Netflix DVDs. Today I finished up the second and final season of Joan of Arcadia. That show had a lot of problems, not the least of which was that it's theology was based on ratings, but I was really intrigued by how it ended. It looked like they were planning to completely revamp the storyline for the non-existent third third season. There were a lot of different directions the show could have taken. (I was particularly looking forward to one day seeing Joan get burned at the stake; she is annoying, after all.) But I never imagined that the writers would try to make the show into a clone of Buffy. In the third season, she would be a regular high school student just trying to get by, but, in her spare time, she would be called upon by the forces of light (God and the dead people she was starting to see) to stop the forces of evil. Only she can bring balance to the world once again by defeating her evil nemesis. With only her schoolmates to help her, can she save the world in time, making it safe once more for Christianity? Perhaps they should have changed the name to "Joan and the God Squad".
Well, that's what it looked like to me. I may be exaggerating a bit, but not by much. Has anyone else seen the final episode?
