Joan started going rancid around the time of last year's season finale--and this year trying to find sympathy for the devil (literally) was about the last straw for a lot of people. In truth, it was just another Hollywierd version of God, and heaven forbid they not show some "sensitivity" for the pain of the devil--overlooking the evil, of course.
I agree. I loved Joan at first, but last season was going downhill. They started reaching big time, and I also hated the devil thing.
Where were they going with that?
Plus the originator gal is a big lib, at least she's religious.
They almost lost me when they had the sweetest character on the show (Adam) make a snide remark about George Bush.
Can these people not control themselves? For one minute?
I think that the appearance of an agent of the Evil one was Hall productions attempt to tell us that those forces did not want Joan to continue.Apparently, it started right after the nomination for Amber.
I loved the show!
