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]

Yeah, they killed Mo. I still can't believe it.

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.

Of course, Jane is all crying and kissing dead!Mo's hand. 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.) Figures that the most subtexty stuff we get is when one of them dies. And then there's Jane's long eulogy at the funeral. Whatever, PKJ. First Amanda, which okay wasn't that big of deal, now Mo. Obviously there can be only one woman on this show. ANd any indication of subtext gets all the other women killed.

*sniff* I miss ya, Mo. In all your retro-80s glory. But at least now I don't to keep making excuses to continue watching this wreck of a show.

Dude, I read that on TWoP and downloaded the episode while I was at *work* (I'd read it was a 'Jane and Connor go undercover as a married couple ep and decided to record it instead).

So yeah, it's true. The sad thing is, this is probably the best episode of the season so far. But, like you, this show is now dead.to.me. The worst part of it all is Mo dies because a) once again, McBride is the shittiest leader ever, b) dies for the crap ship Jane/Connor and c) goes out like a punk ass bitch. They couldn't even give her a heroic death. I'll probably rant about it some more in my lj but who knew this crappy show could make me *this* pissed!?!

Okay, I'm stopping my download right now. Just as well because it took forever for and it's just as bad with pkj. I cueing up Army wives instead.

Back to our rant in progress: OMGWTFBBQ! What is going on with this show? Isn't this exactly the kind of things Kristana was supposed to stop from happening by being a producer? Alaina Huffman must have gotten another job and wanted to leave the wreck before it drags her career down - you go Alaina! - that's the only explanation I can find for this.

*Goes back to watch Taryn's video for something more pleasant to think about*

NONONONONONO.... *insert several swearwords*

They really are doing everything they can to make a show with KL suck. This pretty much settles it for me, I'll get the eps but the hell I'll be watching them unless someone tells me something amazingly great happened. *bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep* killers, I hate you!!!

Sorry about that, just needed to get it out. Thanks for the info.

I'm not even going to start my rant cuz if I do I think my head might explode! That said
I am never watching this show again! And I want the 12 hours of my life back that I wasted on it. I'll just watch old L Word eps if I wanna see Loken.

hello, jimmy palmiotti here...

[jimmypalmiotti.livejournal.com]

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.
