Friday Night Television...

First, spoilers for November 14th's Ghost Whisperer, Stargate Atlantis and Sanctuary...

Watching TV with a family member who works EMS can be ... interesting.

First, I'm watching Ghost Whisperer and alas, missed the episode the week before where the writers bumped off the paramedic hubby. I hear a voice from the couch (where sick EMS worker relative is coughing and watching TV). "He's dead? When did that happen? Why did they kill him? Well, that is a risk of the job...." etc. etc. Alas, I have NO idea why they bumped off the guy, except that he and er, oh, can't recall her name, wanted to have a baby. KISS OF DEATH. No happy families allowed on drama shows

Next up was Stargate Atlantis, where everytime Kolya beat up on Sheppard, or whacked off his hand, I'd get the medical view of what we really should have seen. Basically, had the writers done it correctly, it would have been a Shep whumpers squee-filled episode of bruises, broken bones and bloody stumps.

But then "Sanctuary" came on, and well, that's when it was "How could they malign Nicholas Tesla like that?!" You see, Tesla was a real person, the guy who made electricity as we use it now possible (sorry, forgot the entire long story) but well, I'm afraid "Sanctuary" lost one fan that way - I think the phrase was "What idiots wrote this show?" or word to that effect.;).

Yeah, since it was all in John's head we were not treated to the type of deep shock, blood loss and horrid pain.

But as one person said --we did get to see John the one-man army who kill the Genii even with one hand which was makes him one huge badass :-P

Yeah, I'm sure John would hallucinate nice clean amputation after being in war zones ;)

But yeah, you can't keep him down. Those Genii can't hold a candle to John protecting the city.

Boy, that had to be *fun* I actually had a discussion with a fellow fan about another character recently and we were discussing if he had to die how we'd want to see it(blaze of glory).

Though the other interesting one is watching with people who don't know backstory.

So sad I'm going to miss the live airing of Friday's ep. Oh well.
