Last night’s Joan of Arcadia was pretty darn good, but I was disappointed with the character of Judith, Joan’s Plot Device Friend from crazy camp.
So, Plot Device Friend comes to town to teach Joan a valuable lesson. All well and good, but the show usually handles this sort of thing with a bit more inventiveness. It all carried the whiff of the “very special episode,” which must be avoided at all costs.
Also, Plot Device Friend? Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer called. She wants her shtick back. Please hand it over at your earliest convenience, and no legal action will be taken.
