John Doe (3/28)

Ugh. Absolutely horrible episode. Bring back Firefly!! This show had so much potential too.

I really hate how each episode is some stand alone story, and they try to tie it in to a non-existant storyline..

I thought it was actually a pretty decent episode. I don't understand why Digger all of a sudden got a bigger role though. Before he was just a bartender and not much else, but the last few episodes he has been going on missions wiht John Doe and helping him solve them. This came out of nowhere.

I've said all along that Digger was going to turn into something because you don't cast William Forsythe as a barowner just to give John Doe a sense of normalcy.

But I think this show might have jumped the shark when Doe displays his Jujitsu talents (woefully, I might add, in spite of the editing).

I missed this. Was it part of the story arc or just a filler ep?

It was part filler and part story. Mostly filler.

It was filler, but they tacked on the deaf guy at the end to try and tie it in.

Excellent thread in the movie forum about parts of movies that rely on the audience's ignorance to impress. That's what this show has become. I REALLY hope it gets better, because I was looking forward to this show since they announced it and I enjoyed the first 5 or 6 episodes. But it's gotten to the point where they've abandoned the "suspension of disbelief" and have just thrown reality totally out the window.

Yeah, this show started with some small stupidity episodes, but this one was full blown. Not a single thing in the entire episode was even remotely believable. I'm OK suspending my disbelief here and there for artistic purposes, but this was way too far over the top. I could write for hours on all the stupidity in this episode, but it's just not worth it.
