Poor Joe M., he tries so hard. I'm not sure why his episodes are so predictable, but they are. I'm wondering if it's because we are writers, so we think in that manner? I have the same bad habit with a lot of other shows on television, so it's not like it's just him.

I missed the Fog People mention. Where was that?

Oh... tonight's not a good night for fact checking. I'm 99% sure that's what Rodney was referring to when he was talking about "mass hallucinations". It was really, really quick, I think when Rodney barged in on Woolsey and co. in his penthouse.

(PENTHOUSE! HEE!)

Re: Lack of John Depth

[original snipped due to drunken rambling... x2]

I'll be honest, there was opportunity... but I'm not sure exactly what that opportunity was. We all have many questions about him and his past (boy, do we!), but as far as John as a whole and a character... I guess maybe that's what the episode was supposed to tell us? Something revealing? I don't know. I'm really not sure the episode's format lended itself to give us anything. But I understand people being upset that they didn't get anything out of the episode. Other than that John wants to be a pirate.
