Joan of Arcadia

[butterfly]

Finally got a chance to catch this show. Decided to record it, because if I hadn't, I would probably end up regretting it.

I like the characters. And I like Adam a lot more than I did just with recaps. The actor makes the role, I think, because he was just kinda lame when I only read about him. Joan is cool. Grace is interesting. I really like Luke. He may be my favorite character, at this point.

I'll probably be working next Friday, but now that I've seen the show, I think that I'll record it (which is more difficult than it sounds - I only have the one cable thing in my room, so it's tv or computer and I have to switch it and... yeah.).

Much love for this show. I can see how Adam can come off the wrong way when he's just being described, but he really is adorable beyond words.

And Grace is my girl (though I need better icons.) I wrote an essay on her, but it has spoilers up to the most recent episodes. I think this is the only fandom besides Angel I'm at all active in, or have been in a while. Though not enough people on my f-list share the interest.

I totally agree about Luke, too. I think he was my favorite, at this point in the series, before Grace got more airtime.

*nods* Yeah, I just thought he sounded boring. And yet, not at all boring. Also, very cute.

I've read about them all, so I should probably check that out.

How far back is it?

She looked interesting in the preview for next week. And yeah, Luke's so... ignored, poor thing. I mean, his dad didn't even acknowledge his existence ("You have a kid at Arcadia, right?" "Yeah." and not "I have two.").

That's a good point about Luke, though I also saw that as a reference to the mind-set where they were only concerned about the who the mother could be, forgetting about the father.

But I agree that, generally, that's what's going on with Luke. I posted this after the episode where they all went to therapy.

I've been hanging out on joanofarcadia, mostly, in search of discussion. a little. Here's a link to the shortish essay on Grace, which I bet will have to be expanded after this week's episode airs. Yay! Grace has been spending so much time with Luke lately, she needs to have a good plotline with Joan.
