        New Jonas thread on the General Discussion. Honestly know why people bother-they've washed their hands of the character, a large proportion of the fandom is completely stuck in their opinion of him as 'Daniel clone' and if he is so much as mentioned in the apparent third series then even as an atheist I will believe that Hell exists-if only to have become frozen over. All that happens is that we get the same arguments for and against, none of which go anywhere, and in this case, people not understanding the situation and also not liking his personal convictions (I know he's still interested in Scientology, but a 'nut'? Come on, he's no fanatic, and Scientology is no more bonkers than most other religious groups )-which is irrelevant when he's not pushing them down people's throats a la certain other actors.
        *Sigh*
        Jonas as a character doesn't fit into seasons 8-10. All we can do is appreciate what we did get from him.

          Just stopping by to say 'Hi' before work today.


          The library is closed today. *pouts* I've already read most of Morgania's book collection.

                I have this sudden image of him being taken as a treat to the British Library, and being terribly upset when they tell him that no, he's not allowed anywhere near their beautiful medieval manuscripts without prior permission.

                Jonas and Daniel at the BL. Christ, it would become official literary geek HQ.

                  It's nice to see him remembered (better than a supposed voice-of-fandom site running a survey and missing him out completely ), but it's disappointing to see these threads always degenerating into the same thing every single time. And good grief, the Scientology thing, why does it matter?
                  I'm not religious, it all looks the same to me.

                    My opinion of scientology notwithstanding, isn't it supposed to be *Jonas* that they're talking about, not the actor who plays him? They're two different guys, and while Corin may be worldly and socially adept, Jonas is innocent, and naive. They're not interchangeable.

                      If a someone needs a reason to dislike a character then some things are apparently interchangeable.

                      It's amazing how it happens every single time though.

                        The only time an actor is a problem is when they're a problem- when they try to push their own belief system onto the character or the show in general, when they think they're above everyone else, etc. And if that had been the case, they wouldn't have employed him in the first place.
                        I'm not religious, it all looks the same to me.
                        My thoughts exactly The alien+volcano thing makes me giggle, but to me that's philosophy filtered through something both familiar and unknown (mythic)- like all ancient philosophy (Plato had some crazy allegories) and religion. It's only because we're so familiar with these stories and they are told to us as stories as children that we don't think people being swallowed by whales might be a little...silly. The only difference is that Scientology is just a little suspect in terms of its founder and founding and is also very, very expensive

                        My views on philosophy and religion can be a little forceful, so hopefully that's not too bad...

                          I agree
                          It doesn't effect the way I look at his acting style, the roles he chooses or the way he looks. Which is not bad I can say even at my age.


                          ETA: I also made a post on that thread. Here's the link.

                            Indeed.





                            And the obligatory bi-monthly (if we restrain ourselves, which isn't too often ) 'Mansquito' pic:


                            I suspect if a certain other major actor wasn't so annoyingly vocal, acted his age and played parts with variety and interest then people might not get so funny about the issue

                              I saw your post, LaCroix. To the point and restrained. Which, thankfully, was the general mood of most of the posts. I dread to think what kind of bile appeared on other forums at the time. I've seen glimpses of it, here and there, and it's frankly a bit sad.

                                I've seen a couple of posts previously saying they believed he did exactly that, and others saying they must have got rid of him once they found out he was a Scientologist.

                                Not to defend Tom Cruise's favourite thing in life (maybe, possibly, alledgedly), but most religions are/or have been very expensive. They generally haven't got to their level of wealth by stunning business decisions or a fabulous run on the stock market.


                                Whales. Huge things. Big mouths. Eats tiny krill. Now that's silly.
