Date: 2010-07-05 08:02 pm (UTC)I'm a big fan of JMS. On the advice of a movie critic friend, I tuned in during the first season. It was arguably the worst episode of the series: Infection. I'd seen the same story told by Roddenbury more than once, and so tuned out again. It wasn't until Episode 1 of Season 2 that I picked it up again and was hooked instantly.
I tried to get into Jeremiah, but JMS was unequally yoked in that one. His episodes were great; the others, not so much. I got tired with writers who clearly didn't understand the characters and gave up.
A fan once called him a god. He responded, "Thank you, but I'm afraid I can't accept your compliment. You see, I'm an atheist, so if I'm also God, that would mean that I don't believe in myself, and at this point in my life, I don't need the added insecurity."
