Crying 10 Years On

Why is it that a show that aired 10 years ago can still make me cry everytime I watch it? I know what happens, I tell myself not to cry, but I don't listen.

The episode, if you're wondering, is John Doe 1x14 Ashes to Ashes. I wish this show hadn't been cancelled. Ironically, it premiered the same day as Firefly.

I still think it's a great show and if you haven't watched it before, give it a try. The premise: A man wakes up naked on an island off Seattle with no memory of who he is and where he's from, and yet he's a walking encyclopedia. Of course, he uses this knowledge to help the police while trying to find out about his past.

New (to me) Fandom

I've brokn down and started watching Criminal Minds mainly due to the crossover fanfics I've read. I kne of the show, I remember when it started, basically due to Mandy Patankin. Anyway, I had planned to wait until the reruns came around to season 1, but there was a slow Sunday afternoon and a marathon on A&E.

I've seen most of 4, 5 and bits of 6. I found season 1 DVDs at the library, tackled season 2 streaming and am waiting for season 3 DVDs to be returned at the library.

I will say that the guest casting is fabulous, taking actors you wouldn't expect to do such roles and just letting them have fun. James Van Der Beek was wonderful and the "kid" from Malcolm in the Middle (sorry, I can't remember his name), not to mention C. Thomas Howell, Wil Wheaton, Sean Patrick Flannery. I know I've an ep with Tim Curry yet to see.

If there are any fans out there who have favorite fics to rec, please share!
