Night in front of the telly - John Doe

[Supreme Cmdr]

Well, after Fox unceremoniously canned John Doe (played by Dominic Purcell), I clean forgot about it. But I always wondered what the heck he was about. Well, get this.

I just got the October 1st issue of Entertainment Weekly and on p64, they have an article about TV cliff-hanger mysteries. There is an entry about John Doe; and it goes like this.

When we left John Doe, he had just unmasked Digger as a member of the Phoenix, a group that was chasing JD. Well, apparently it wasn't Digger but instead a Phoenix member (aka Stocking Cap) after some plastic surgery.

Turns out that Phoenix believed that JD was the Messiah and its members were actually protecting him from a second group, which wanted him dead.

The truth: JD was injured in a boating accident. The mark on his chest is metal from the explosion. His Uberbrain is a by-product of transcending his body during a near-death experience, traveling to a spiritual place where all the universe's questions are answered, and returning.....naked! Apparently, his name is Fred. At least that's what Brandon Camp (one of the creators of the show), said.

And this is exactly why I'm nervous about Lost, the new JJ Abrams show. What I read about John Doe is just ludicrous. I can't imagine how many seasons they could possibly have milked that stupid premise for. No wonder Fox canned it.

wow that is such a retarded plot! I've seen soap operas that had better plots than this lol. his "uberbrain", what the hell were they thinking? Just reading that reminded me why i stopped watching telelvision (except for the simpsons, the only good show on TV).
