What is wrong with this show? Okay, that's rhetorical... because we all know its litany of wrongness. But I just don't get it. And until someone can tell me that last night's ep was all a dream and Jane wakes up to find Mo in the shower... then this show is dead to me now. Dead. Like Mo.
Sums up my feelings exactly. It's just so incompetent like everything else about this show. I mean, first for the majority of the episodes Jane and Mo have little to no interaction so there's no real emotional investment in their relationship, then they air the episodes out of order so that there can be no follow up/character development for Jane because of Mo's death. So basically, a main characters death becomes a plot point for ONE episode and will - likely - not be dealt with in a meaningful way in the future. Because really, I'm giving this show NO credit any more.
It actually reminded me of "Loss" during that scene... only with about one-tenth the meaningfulness. (And I'm being generous there with my proportions.)
I still haven't watched the episode yet, but I could totally see how it could be "loss"-lite. And honestly, when Law and Order does a better job building up relationships between characters based on minute long interactions that usually involve the word "warrant" that's saying something about the ability of your writing staff. The Alex/Olivia goodbye scene killed me in that because I CARED about Alex, and previous to "Loss" you had a good sense of their friendship. Jane and Mo I know will not effect me a fraction as much. *pets "Loss"*
But at least now I don't to keep making excuses to continue watching this wreck of a show.
I really hope that the producers enjoy their one season, because I think I'm done with this shit too, and a lot of people on the scifi board and others who don't even give a shit about subtext are pissed that they killed Mo too. I think only hardcore Lokinator fans are going to be left now.
