When Part II ended last week,the Professor and the Nun were in Perilous Strains,Greece (population 837-excluding malevolent entities).
The Professor lay unconscious,amid the still-falling rubble of an abandoned chapel.
The Nun,rolling her eyes heavenward,was heard to cry out in anguish: "Oh,Lord ! Men are such babies !"
BUT WAIT !
It's now Part III,and the Professor is tucked into a hospital bed,all comfy cozy,and the Nun is beaming with relief at his rapid recovery.
The Dauntless Duo have not found the Miracle Baby yet...
BUT WAIT !
The doctor casually tells them where the child's mother may be found.He knows exactly which Italian mental hospital she is in. The Nun is convinced of the validity of her tale. The Professor is a bit skeptical-but they hurry to Rome,where they are admitted immediately,and without question to see one of the Cardinals.
BUT WAIT !
The Cardinal (a fat, nasty "poofter",if I do say so !)not only fails to help them, he threatens to excommunicate the Nun. The disheartened duo trudge away.
BUT WAIT !
Some unknown assailant in a shiny BMW tries repeatedly to run them down ! After several narrow escapes, the Professor pushes the Nun into a dress shop,and urges her to put on some less conspicuous "civvies".
The Nun emerges wearing a bright red dress - (so much for inconspicuous !)To make matters worse,red is not her best color!!
Nonetheless,they make good their escape from the assassins,and head straightaway for a train terminal. (Who would think to look for fugitives in a terminal ??)
BUT WAIT !
Back in the good ol' USA, the Satanists-under the leadership of the murderous Nash T. Bassard,have kidnapped the Professor's son-video game style.
Nash T. Bassard himself has used arcane powers to look through the eyes of The Brain Dead Girl,and determine where the Nuns are hiding her.
BUT WAIT !
Why in heck am I watching this crap ?
It is clearly a big-screen version of a video game !
Cut to Commercial...... PLEASE !!
The doobies will do that to ya.
LOL
What are you watching Gene?
(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
Also, you left out the part where apparently Nash has switched brains with the girl in the coma who was speaking in Latin while guarded by the sisters at the convent.
Anyone who hasn't watched this show will think we are nuts, won't they?
I am not giving up. John Rhys-Davies has only had a small part so far as the scientist in the wheelchair. I want to see how he winds up fitting into the story.
I kept forcing myself to try to watch it. It kept jumping around from one subplot to another and back.
I was sitting there thinking that they need to start bringing some sense to it. Otherwise, it is getting list ABC's LOST --- losing.
The one advantage Revelations has it the lack of much competition from other networks or even cable. It is about the only thing going in that timeslot, and it is foundering.
It appears that you may be in need of some Gene Therapy.
And how did that girl witch person get in that kid's computer?
And why does Nash keep biting his own finger off? And why does it re-grow?
Really, we need these questions answered!!!
What I couldn't figure out was why the bodyguard apparently had no gun or cell phone. And how did that witch-girl keep popping up and then disappearing?
Also, I think the Biblical quotes are supposed to pertain to the plot, but they flash them on the screen so quickly that sometimes you can't read the whole thing.
I think we should have a live thread next week. It would also help us keep up with the plot. Obviously, you thought that Nash was using powers to look through the brain-dead girl's eyes, whereas I thought they were switching brains! We need explanations!
I am now morbidly fascinated with this program, and will watch next week. I still hold out hope, because of Rhys-Davies being in it. I am hoping that this week was a low point.
HUGE number of characters, and many are not necessary to advance the plot. Why is the stepfather even there? Why have a bodyguard who doesn't guard? Who is the Cardinal? And what about the virgin mother in the mental hospital?
Boy, I sound really bewildered, don't I?
I believe he fits into the story as the narrator.

Spies, obviously.
And how did that girl witch person get in that kid's computer?
The internet.
And why does Nash keep biting his own finger off? And why does it re-grow?
It would seem the authorities re-attached his finger after he knocked it off to freak Dr. Massey out. Since he intends on breaking out soon, he doesn't need the feeble surgical re-attachment. He can just grow his own back.
SD
He's actually the step-son of Dr. Massey's ex-wife.

See, we need a live thread so we can all keep up!
No kidding! What is the deal with them???
I don't know. Maybe we will find out next week. you ARE going to watch it, aren't you?
Actually, there have been attempts to do a live thread, with little interest. I think a show like this is better off if you watch it, and then discuss what you saw. If you were busy FReeping, you'd miss the show.
