Joan of Arcadia 10/1, Or Vengenance is Mine

The Old Woman God is Mrs. Landingham from West Wing. She was the president’s secretary.

She’s a great actress.

Did she also play Ruth-Anne on Northern Exposure?
Aes: I mailed a tape this morning.

No. That was Peg Phillips who passed away a few years ago:

I agree. It played out like an after school special.

I hate the lawsuit plot thread. It’s way too contrived. It’s as if Joan’s crises of faith and mom’s search for faith isn’t enough to carry an eopisde; they have to drop the giant anvil of a lawsuit on the family (not to mention the cop stuff…but I almost never like the cop stuff).

Add Adam to the long list of characters that bug me. What a stick-in-the-mud.

Isn’t old lady god the Twin Peaks’ log lady?

Mrs. Landingham/Old Lady God: Kathryn Joosten
The Log Lady (Margaret Lanternman): Catherine E. Coulson

I had to think about it though - at first I thought you might be right.
