I wasn't really paying attention... I was trying to explain the point of the boat to my grandma.

Did you miss a lot of the ep because of the early start?

Yes, they did. I'm sorry, I should've said something. Fortunately, Carol told me about it.
Yeah, I told you. But I didn't tell just you, did I?
looks like they're airing "The Boat" a half-hour earlier Friday. I don't know if it'll be on at all next week. I'm a little worried. If the sci fi thing doesn't work out, I hope the show finds a home on Hallmark or Lifetime.

I remember you telling me in YM. If I missed the post on the MB, oops. I wanna see the deleted Adam scene now...

I remember the deleted one from "The Fire and the Wood". Where he and Grace explain to Joan that she's a subdefective if she's with them. What was the one from "The Boat"?

I was gonna link it just in case anyone missed it.

Oh yeah, the boat guy. Too bad they ran out of room. The first half of the episode was missing something.
Offline
Yeah, it was missing a scene where Adam follows Joan around like a little drooling puppy. He's definitely very focused on her in the ep.

It was a really Kevin centered one. I think there was more Adam than Luke, which wasn't usually the case early on.
Offline
Yeah, you're right no both counts. There was some good Helen stuff. But this is a pretty good A/J ep in a small way too because you can see the early markers.

Actually I think it is a very important A/J episode. The first scene of intimacy. They share a common pain, and some private stuff. very important early steps.
I always loved the boat in JOA. For one thing, it is a single episode thing which actually comes back a few times (which never seems to happen on tv shows). And there is always something sweet and touching about the scenes around the boat, I haven't been able to get my head around it yet, but those scenes always affect me.
Joan: So, my true nature is to be a catalyst? That is mad anti-climatic.
God: Anti climactic. Anti-climatic means you're against the weather.

You know, I love that you are who you are, Rick --- an adult man with a daughter, who works in the entertainment industry --- and you're an A/J shipper. That's how legit this love story is.

Hey, you guys, if you feel like it, why not go reassure the OP on the IMDb JoA board that the show's not packed with Christian cliches with me? We could help win over a new fan.

I think people should just watch the show before they make assumptions about it.
Offline
I didn't want to watch it at first either, to be honest, for the same reasons... if I had the chance, I probably would have done the same thing.
Offline
Yeah, I would've passed too if not for Mary Steenburgen.

I had zero interest in it or in the cast. My mom told me to just give it a chance, which I did (after whining about how stupid I thought it would be). So my seemingly never-ending obsession can be completely blamed on my mom .
Offline
I was interested in most of the family. Joe Montegna has been in some great stuff and I've liked Mary Steenburgen ever since "Melvin and Howard". And the show premiered less than a month after John Ritter died, so I was interested in seeing his son. And I'd watched Amber Tamblyn on "General Hospital" for years.
I not only wanted to see what these people were up to, but I liked the concept. At the time, CBS had ended their "golden oldie" shows. "Touched By An Angel", "Matlock", and "Diagnosis Murder" had ended, and I felt sure they wouldn't try another show that was as cloyingly sweet as TBAA or the WB's 7th Heaven. I'm glad I gave it a shot.

Oh, man, me too. I can't imagine my life without this show. I wouldn't trade all the cool people I've met and the wonderful friends I've made because of JoA for anything. And I don't even want to know how different I'd be without all the amazing things that have happened and continue to happen to me because of it. There's more possible upcoming stuff that I hope to be able to tell you guys about very soon. It has been a great ride.

I actually just thought of something that I've been repressing for months, it might be a blessing in disguise that JoA got canceled early on. One of my friends who I recently got in it flat out asked me if there was a third season and if I didn't want him to see it because Joan dies. He was convinced from the first episode, the show would end with her dying. And I think he's probably right.
So not only what would our lives be like if we never watched it, what would they be like if the show ended with Joan's death?
Offline
Ooooh, I don't like that thought. And I never got that vibe. Why do you think he's right?

I think it was during Jump, when Joan was in the church lighting a candle, she asked God for a little glimpse into the future. I could be wrong, but I heard a man yelling her name, gunshots and screams. That doesn't necessarily mean her death, but it's a theory.
Shawn's reasoning was the Joan of Arc connection... we all know how that turned out. He thinks he knows exactly how "they were planning for her to die". I never let him tell me.
Offline
I hope that's not what they were planning. Arcadia means something. I'm too sleepy to look it up now, so I can't give an exact definition, but it's a sort of rural paradise. A secular one, rather than a biblical one. Valhalla or Shangra La rather than Heaven or Eden. It makes me happy that someone thought about that stuff. So I thought Arc/Arcadia was just a play on words. Just because this Joan also talked to God and had her sanity questioned doesn't mean she's doomed to the same fate. There were interesting parallels, but many more differences.
I really don't think they were planning on Joan's death. I thought the reason she was chosen because she was in a unique position to help people. Her family was at the end of their rope, largely due to Kevin's accident. As were many of the people who she came into contact with, most notably Adam and Grace. If, after helping everyone, she were somehow killed that would likely destroy all those who loved her. What would happen to the Girardis, to Adam if Joan died or was killed? I can't see God allowing that to happen. And I can't see CBS ending a series with the triumph of Satan.
