John Doe is being repeated on the sci-fi Channel on Thursday nights between 8pm and 10pm and just in case you weren't lucky enough to discover this last night, missing the first two episodes. Its repeated on Saturday early evening, I think between 6pm and 8pm but you'll have to check your Sky Guide to be sure.

Did anyone else watch this? Or planning to? :unsure:

Having seen this once before I pretty much knew what to expect. The first two episodes aren't particularly great but they do set-up premise reasonably well. I'm looking forward to watching the series again although it's a shame it got cancelled without any resolution to the story.

it's funny how many quality series Fox have cancelled, well not funny per se but you know what I mean.

Never seen it before and don't get the Sci-Fi channel on my cable platform!

I've heard about the show and it's premise and from what I've heard I have been very interested in seeing it but never have got around to it...probably due to the fact it was never broadcast on terrestrial.....

...any plans for a DVD release?

There was a resolution of sorts. The creator posted a few pieces on the net shortly after the series' demise.

I downloaded this series when it aired and I must admit, aside from the first 4 or 5 episodes I've still got them to watch :rolleyes:

I loved the show. It had a unique quality. Plus, Dominic Purcell made this know-it-all a pleasant guy. My great fear was that we'd get an answer to his mystery -- and it wouldn't meet expectations. So I can't say I'm disappointed at that loose end.

Generally good writing and consistantly good acting and production values made this show a must-watch for me.

Whenever I rewatch one of the few episodes I still have on tape, it feels like entering a special world. And I'm seeing thru the POV of a very rational and intelligent person -- somewhat like the experience of reading Sherlock Holmes.

Central to the story was a question of who or what Doe was. Popular assumptions included that the was some kind of cyborg or alien or a man who had been subjected to some sort of government experiment.

None of those are true, according to Gail Berman, who discussed "Doe's" underlying premise with creators Brandon Camp and Mike Thompson. She says Doe was just a regular guy. Now, here comes the big revelation:

"[According to the show], when you're very close to death, when you're seeing the white light, God or a higher being gives you all the information of life to carry on to the next life," Berman says. Doe was about to die, but for whatever reason -- Berman didn't say why Thursday -- he lived after being imparted with that knowledge.

The shadowy people who were after Doe knew what happened to him and were trying to keep him from discovering it himself.

Well, that was interesting. A supernatural cause. Actually, a religious one. Which, in itself, doesn't provoke the skeptic in my atheistic soul. What arouses my skepticism are the practical questions, like: how is knowing how many dimples in a golf ball vital? :ponder:

See? It might be better not knowing. :ermm:
