Painkiller Jane - Okay, it's official this show hates me

[fembuck]

So...I haven't watched 1x12 yet, but because I like to prepare myself for the horror that is to come I usually check TWoP for comments before viewing the episode so I know whether to lower my expectations or keep them at a middling level of expectation.

So there I was reading the comments, and apparently they killed Mo?

Can anyone confirm this? Cause if so I don't know if I'll bother with the episode or the show anymore. It's just the last straw. Okay, I'll probably watch the episode because I'm a glutton for punishment, but it's like the producers are trying to do everything in their power to make me loath this show.

I mean, Loken is now the sole female on the show. And yeah, she's a hell of a lot of woman, but common. I don't want to watch the boys club and Jane. I mean, the show can't be trying to avoid subtext that badly can they. Anyway, this really might be the last straw. I think it's a good thing that I'm gonna be away and won't be able to watch for a couple weeks.

Anyway, if anyone knows if that's true for sure, lemme know so I can prepare myself ... TO NEVER WATCH THIS SHOW AGAIN!

*sigh*

Why Lokinator? Why? [fierce whisper]I trusted you![/fw]

hello, jimmy palmiotti here...

had someone send me this link and I love the honesty on display here. LOL

To answer a few things,the maureen character, alaina, had to leave the show because of some contract stuff which I dont really know about. as stated, I would have had her just leave the country, sent on another mission or have had her have an affair with jane, see that because of it , well...she would have a problem with working with jane , and move on.

Killing her was something you all know I wasnt happy with because of the comic.

That said, please give my episode THE LEAGUE airing this friday a shot. It's the first tv screenplay I ever wrote...and although its was watered down a bit from what I gave in, I still think it has its moments.

ALSO, to defend Kristanna a bit...she is on a learning curve with the show and is overwhelmed daily with all the stuff being thrown at her. She and the show get better as the season goes on.

Also, you all might enjoy the new series of comicbook. I will go as far to say I am willing to send the first issue to anyone that will give it a try, on me...but promises to buy the next one if they enjoy it. if not, line the bottom of a bird cage or a litter box with it...lol.

my e mail is palmio@aol.com if interested in trying the comic. e mail me somewhere to send it...and I will. I stand behind my madness.

so a hello to you all and please keep digging in on the show...dont worry about me reading the posts, really...its all good in my eyes. honesty is a turn on.

ps: post on the sci fi boards if you get a chance. they actually read each and every post every day...no kidding.

We can be a little ... uh, passionate with our opinions but it's just because we actually care ;)

I would have had her just leave the country, sent on another mission or have had her have an affair with jane, see that because of it , well...she would have a problem with working with jane , and move on.

I love both of those ideas so much more. In fact I think I'm just going to pretend that the last one actually happened :D

Thanks for the scoop on why Alaina left though, it makes me feel somewhat better that the loss of Mo had to happen because of RL issues instead of just being a badly plotted creative decision.

I'd have preferred your options *grin* but I feel a smidge better.

That said, please give my episode THE LEAGUE airing this friday a shot. It's the first tv screenplay I ever wrote...and although its was watered down a bit from what I gave in, I still think it has its moments.

I'm definitely going to watch your episode, and I know that I a lot of my LJ friends here are planning on viewing it too. As upsetting as Mo's death was, the opportunity to watch an episode by the Original Cool is too much to pass up :D Here in Canada we're about a week behind in episodes, but I'll definitely be watching!

ALSO, to defend Kristanna a bit...she is on a learning curve with the show and is overwhelmed daily with all the stuff being thrown at her. She and the show get better as the season goes on.

I figured that she was on a learning curve with this one, and can imagine how overwhelming the whole thing must be. I'm a huge Kristanna fan, I love her, but as a fangirl I can occasionally go a little crazy, lol. I've noticed that the quality of the last few episodes have been an improvement over the beginning of the year, so its definitely been noticeable as people get their sea legs. Honestly, you have to care to be this harsh, lol ;)

Also, you all might enjoy the new series of comicbook. I will go as far to say I am willing to send the first issue to anyone that will give it a try, on me...but promises to buy the next one if they enjoy it. if not, line the bottom of a bird cage or a litter box with it...lol.

*is atwitter with excitement*

I would totally love to see the new series of the comic book. And comic stores are totally my friend so I totally promise *girl guides honor ... that's the Canadian girl scouts* to buy the next one since I'm sure that I'll enjoy it. In any case there will be no bird cage lining because birds terrify me ;D

I'm going away on vacation for a couple of weeks, but I will definitely use that email address when I get back!

ps: post on the sci fi boards if you get a chance. they actually read each and every post every day...no kidding.

Thanks for the info, its nice to know that the PTB are actually interested in what the fans are saying. I'll check it out (with less cap locks, exclamation points and hysterics of course, lol)

I have to say, as terribly embarrassed as I am by the rest of the contents of this page of my LJ *blush*, it's been an honor to have you stop by my little den of insanity. It is seriously, very, very cool and really greatly appreciated :D

*salutes*

I look forward to watching your episode!
