Our friend and babysitter, Megan, comes over to watch Tivo'd episodes of Lost and the occasional movie as her busy schedule permits. While the cast of Lost is hard at work in beautiful Hawaii to bring us the next season, we decided to give Journeyman a look since it was too late to start a movie.
The three of us had just finished watching the pilot of Journeyman. It had an interesting sci-fi time travel kind of plot, so I enjoyed it. The show ended with the guy proving to his wife, who was convinced he was on drugs, that he really was traveling through time. My thoughts after this scene were that I'd like to watch the next episode to see how they open up the plot and elaborate on the whole time travel angle.
The first post-show comment I heard was Megan reassuring Margaret, "well, at least now she knows," which prompted a rehash of all the inter-character relationships and emotional issues they would each face given the storyline that had developed.
As a Martian, I cannot imagine watching this show and then at the end turning to a buddy and saying, "well, Ed, at least he convinced his wife he wasn't really on drugs. It's too bad he wrecked the Mustang and had to tear up the patio.. He was probably feeling a lot of stress from all the time traveling and the strained relationship with his brother and his boss at work. Poor guy. Oh, and did you notice the shoes?"
And its not just this one show, but pretty much after every episode of Lost I'll have to hear about how Kate must feel being torn between Jack and Sawyer blah blah blah...
...women are from Venus.
yes, but you love me and you really like watching those goofy shows with me. Just think how boring your life would be if you only ever talked with other martians.
