It just personifies what God is supposed to be about. He's there watching over us, taking care of us, thinking we're beautiful, and even though we feel lost, we're not. Not to Him.
That is perfect.
I can understand your Adam issues, but I still haven't decided where I stand on his behavior. On one hand, I can understand where he's coming from. When you've lost someone, it's hard to stand there and do it again. But at the same time, if someone needs you, and you love them, you have to be there for them, no matter how much it pains you. I was disappointed in him for that.
On the other hand, I don't know if he realized what he was doing, that she might really die. Sometimes people can't see how serious the situation in front of them is, and he will regret that his last words to her were words of anger.
This is probably going to be a crisis for everyone, not just Joan. Or at the very least, for everyone through Joan.
Not really looking forward to this week's so much. I will have the Kleenex closer this time though.
See how much JoA gets to me? Here I am talking about Him like that and I really don't believe in God much.
I'm starting to get tired of Adam's sensitive shtick now. Because one second I'm awwing all over him and I just know in the next I'll want to slap him silly because of how he bolts.
I am *so* looking forward to this week. Getting to see how everyone was before kinda feels like it'll tell me more about who they are now. Getting to see Kevin being a jerk, Luke ignored, Joan even more self-involved and teenager-y, and the family still in their little bubble before it blows to hell. And crying's therapeutic. Get's those toxins out! ;)

:) This is a funny way to put it, but I think the show kinda humanizes Him for people. Obviously that's not God, it's just an actor, but at the same time you want to believe what they're saying. It makes it seem like hey, maybe He really is with us, and He really does care, He just can't always do anything about things because of that pesky free will thing.
I mean, I do believe in God, and I have had more than my fair share of issues with Him. I think the show really portrays an essence of the God I want to believe in. One that's there for us and believes in us, but just guides us in our lives, instead of handing us everything. Because that would just be too easy. It would be too easy for God to tell Joan exactly what to do and what effect it's going to have, but instead he guides her and sees how she perceives his often very vague instructions. She has to figure things out for herself, and people relate to that, because we all

I thought AT did a great job. The actress who plays Judith did fantastic herself throughout the episode. I think Joan's reaction could have been slightly over the top but it worked for me.
It's that soap opera training. :p AT pretty much laid me out all over the floor. *cries* They all did a fantastic job.
You didn't mention how cheery Kevin's "All right! You got it!" was, but that was such a dramatic moment because the whole tone was broken. He obviously didn't know what happened, and guh, it just made it all more *knife in the heart*. Oh, bad pun. Eep. But you know what I mean.
