I guess every other episode will include


John Moore getting beat up or otherwise assaulted. 3 times so far...

reply

No kidding! And he never seems to get much sympathy.

reply

And he has quit drinking officially (but not in practice) so that stinks for him.

He takes a licking and keeps on ticking! I cringe every time I see him go into an alley. He always seems to be following a shady character into a dark crevice somewhere.

reply

But nothing ever seems to happen afterwards, apart from when he gets two black eyes....that is remarked upon. But he can withstand a drugged gang rape...or was it?! Nothing seemed to have happened....he can also be fine after getting his head repeatedly slammed against a brick wall....this spate of magic was just one thing that was a questioning and frustrating disappointment about this series.
