By the very definition of supernatural being GOD is the ULTIMATE alien. we can NEVER conceive the mind of GOD. We can never comprehend the motivations of GOD.

Clarke, Arthur C not Stanley, said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Creation can be TEC HNOLOGICAL.

GOD may be "Consciousness-Without-an-Obje ct".

GOD may be NON-LOCAL information.

Read up on Leary's EIGHT CIRCUIT BRAIN, which Robert Anton Wilson related to Star Trek.

John doesn't need to be about religion, but MAN tends to see religion.

I didn't get John and Linc exchanging spots in the window reflection.

Who was the new guy with the dorag? Who was Aliman (sp?)

I loved the Tina (pornstar) Shawn ( Risen from the dead) lunch of Tuna on Wonderbread. So Ozzie and Harriet/Leave it to Beaver.

John is definitely NOT for the anti-intellectual crowd, for that matter Deadwood wasn't either.

Last episode was almost Shakespearean.

I only watched the show for some surfing. I could care less now about pretty boys Rain man shtick. I bought into this show and feel like I've been burned for it.

And what pisses me off even more is that if I went to Hollywood with a script or two that I had been working on for years, put my heart and soul into it and knew every aspect of the story... beginning, middle AND FUCKING END, there's a zero percent chance it'll get bought. But someone's friend of a friend can pitch a two-sentence half-assed idea to some producer and walk away with a million-dollar check. IT'S BULLSHIT!

1)He knows who the characters are and what they represent.

2)He knows what the show is about, (The world is coming to an end and God wants to send the world a message and help it come together before the end).

What he doesn't know is where the characters and theme will take the show. There is no arc outside of a beginning and an end.

It doesn't mean he's just writing nonsense that has no meaning or plot. It means that what happens with these characters who will have to deal with their situation is still up in the air.

I'm not sure if I would have liked them as much if I had to watch them one at a time; they are just that connected to each other. I also found myself bursting out into laughter then the tone would switch immediately and I would think to myself, "Oh dear, I shouldn't have laughed there; that was so sad."

I'm still going to stick around though. I like my TV like I like my men: full of mind games.

the events are suppsoed to be after terminator 2, which would have been great if terminator 3 didnt come out. i mean.. we already know whats going to happen anyways, armagedon arrives and connor cant stop it and we know his mother dies from cancer or some such in the t3 movie.. so we know they'll survive the tv series whatever happens. lack of suspense people. lack of suspense. there's absolute rubbish on at the moment. is it worth me watching burn notice?

"The important point that I'm trying to make is that storytelling has nothing, whatsoever, to do with logic. Logic is a limping stepchild of the true processes of the spirit. It's an illusion. It's a defective little parlor trick. Associations are the way that we perceive. Electrical connections caused by the juxtapositions of experience. That's the way we are really built, and storytelling takes into account that truth."
