Things that was/are/would be cool

Joan of Arcadia. Man, that was a great show. I'm still angry that it was cancelled right in its prime -- the second season, the last season, when they clearly still had plot and planning going on, ready for more, until CBS yanked the rug out from under them because Joan's audience tended to be 20+. Has CBS had a single good show since?

Joan was love. Adam and Helen were idiot love. The quiet, unspoken hints that Joan's actions could spiritually lead to Kevin's learning to walk again was love. Everything the various incarnations of God said was wonderful, brilliant, sometimes inspiring or moving, and also love. ("Don't you miss me, Joan?" "*lying* No." "...don't you miss yourself?") And it was non-denominational, non-discriminational love. I'm going to buy the DVD sets with my birthday money and then dream for more.

Lost. I also need season two of this, released on Friday as I recall. Season 3 OMGWTFBBQ WHEN I NEED TO KNOW WHAT DESMOND'S GIRLFRIEND IS GOING TO DO. Project Runway. It's on tonight. I'll probably watch it with Clarisse and comment on it with [livejournal.com profile] refracting~

It's not exactly motivational, but it's fun, and everything is exponentially more awesome when watched with other people. ♥

Xenogears: the remake. C'mon, Square-Enix! Aren't you done beating the dead FFVII horse yet? There's been a movie, an OAV, like four spin-off games, Kingdom Hearts cameos, and FFX plugins. Drag something fresher out of the grave. Like Xenogears, FFVII's oft-ignored twin. This was a fantastic game that got shafted big-time -- the second half of the game was so bad that it was impossible not to notice them running out of time and money.

Do it again. Do it better. Release the game for the PS2, the PS3, the PSP, something. Redo everything. Make it as pretty as Xenosaga, its spiritual descendant, and flesh out the second "disc." Or hell -- make a movie. An anime. Something. Just... fix it. It is a gaping wound in your history.

Sweet, thank you. ^^;

By the by, I read your comments above, and... I was never really into the Adam/Joan thing. XD; And yes, Adam's actor (name? what name? ...names, psh) does have that look. */pulling things from other trains of thought, woe*
