Holy friggin' malarkey.

So...while waiting for tonight's episode of Stargate SG-1, I'm watching John Doe. I've never watched it before, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Holy bejeebus. They almost sucked me in. The show had the usual complement of cliches and such, but I'm used to that from cheesy TV shows, so I didn't mind too much. BUT! This is so incredibly stupid! Lead guy has been trying to solve a crime on an airplane. He's been running around and through and under the plane (the cargo hold) so it's pretty safe to say that by this point, everyone on the plane should know he's a good guy, right? He figures who the next victim is, goes charging down the aisle to try to save her life - not unlike the last couple of times he's been charging down the aisle trying to keep the plane from crashing, trying to solve the crime, etc. - and suddenly a bunch of boneheads think he's a threat and immediately impede his progress down the aisle and lock him in a little baggage nook. Repeat after me:

WHAT THE FUCK!?

Yeah, I don't use the "F" word like, ever, so you can see my frustration. Okay, this is the goofiest show ever. The killer has just been unveiled, and I'm watching the big "killer explains his motive" scene. Holy hannah, I'll never watch this show again.

Dr. Who!

I was about to give Dr. Who a miss, then I realized that the good doctor himself is Christopher Eccleston, who played Major Henry West in 28 Days Later, one of my all-time favorite movies. Yay! Don't know if I'll watch every week, but I do like Christopher Eccleston. Hmmm. We shall see. It's better than that lameoid John Doe, that's for sure.
