And after a couple of long weeks, I have to say it was totally worth the wait. HELLO! Did you not LOVE the episode? Did you not LOVE Jonathan? If not, I suggest you get the hell away from here bucko. Okay, so I better do this freakin review before I bust a vein in my head.

Summary for those who didn't watch...(highlight it with your cursor; some people may *not* have seen the episode yet, thus I would like to NOT get their panties in a bunch for spoiling it)
Three college students are driving along a road, when all of a sudden, they drive off a cliff. Well actually, it was Jonathan who drove them off the cliff. Jerk. Anyway, they plummet into the lake, and sink in. Later, they all come up from the lake, alive and well. For sure they all thought they were dead...or maybe not? It turns out that they're alive. But Devin, JJ's character says, "No way, we died." But it's obivious they didn't. So they walk along the roads, the deserted forest, trying to make something out of what happened. Turns out...they died. But you know what they say..."If a tree falls in the woods...who's there to hear it?" Natasha Lyonne's like, "Hey, nobody knows we're here. So nobody knows we died. And if we tell, we'll DIE." Yadda yadda. So they, I guess make a silly "pact" that you only see in those early 1980s teen movies so that they can stay alive. There is a close call, however, since Devin is highly religious, and thinks that he *should have* died. He felt at "peace." But alas, while in confession, the priest doesn't believe him. So...they're still alive. Then later, they all just discuss things about how they can't let Devin tell anyone anymore. Natasha and the other guy (I'm so lame at this...lol) talk about how they're bodies are still in the lake, in the shallow end. If they bury the bodies...then they stay alive. JJ however, is in a bath, trying to drown himself, I guess. He overhears them, and later on, he lies in bed shirtless (prrr....) and Natasha comes up to him and starts to speak about how what happened was a "miracle, one given by God." And Devin's really, I guess, religious and stuff, and starts going off about...okay, I can't remember. But anyway...okay, I'm drawing a blank. But yes! Okay, here's the important part! JJ leaves early and leaves her a note saying "I'm sorry, I have to do this" and he goes for the bodies. He wants to make his body float up to the surface so that he can die. Instead: the other two bodies float up while his is securely in the car. And as they float up, the car goes deeper in to the lake. The whole ironic part about his little plan? A guy's in a boat, fishing! He sees the bodies! JJ's like, "Don't look at them!!!" And well, he does. And they other two have already reached the lake, and scream the same thing. What happens? They both disappear, leaving JJ on earth, screaming, "It shoulda been me!!!!" like twenty times. He was sad, and the end part was yes, that picture up there. Waaa, waaa, waaa. And aren't you glad that I made this part in black? This is the most horrible recap in the history of recaps. It's either, I need a dictionary, or I need a new voice box. Yeesh.

Okay, for those who couldn't read the thingie, let's just say that you *do* know what happened. Kay? Alrightee roo.

JJ Performance rating: a billion stars (that's good, FYI)
Why?:Well, of course half of the rating is due to the fact that I forever love him, and so forth. But also because JJ sure knows how to turn out a good performance. He never ceases to amaze anybody. And who's this kid kidding? He's gonna be big. He IS big. Geezus.

Sad Factor: 9
WTF is a Sad Factor?: *sigh* It's like, if he makes me feel any sad kind of emotion, like crying, or feeling bad for no reason
Okay, so why did you give a 9?: Well, bucko, because JJ always knows how to make me cry, for absolutely no reason. Okay, that's a lie. But like, sometimes he turns out performances that make me go, "OMG I LOVE HIM!" He did good, I say. And at the end, that made me shed a tear. I loved his little tear that went down his cheek. If they gave Academy Awards out for crying, he'd take the cake (and this is a side note, but Sarah Brown would too. Remember when the waterworks would just start coming for no reason? My GAWD...)

Watchable factor: 10
Why? Well for one thing, if you're a JJ fan, you would watch it no matter what. I loves him. And we all know that. And plus, Night Visions isn't like rated R or anything. It's actually a pretty good show, it's not like, stupid dumb crap, if you know what I mean. Like, super super scary. So it's watchable. And the most watchable parts were: when in the bathtub, when in the lake, while on the bed shirtless, in the confessional, while in the lake again (so basically whenever damp), and of course the ending. Special.

Okay. Anything else you would like to add?: Actually, yes. I love this guy with everything. Not the "in love" kind of love, but the "infatuation" kind of love. The kind of love I have for Ben Affleck, etc. Just that whole "impressed" kind of love. If you haven't seen the Night Visions episode yet, you've gotta! It's SO good! I'm sure there's someone out there who will give you a copy. I, unfortunately have a broke ass VCR, and I'm so mad. If it didn't record, I will break something against the wall. I'm too chicken to see if it recorded or not. I'll probably cry if it didn't...I'll still cry if it did. This episode was actually a great JJ fix! I heard "Skeletons In the Closet" just recently got released on DVD and I'm waiting for the jerks at Tower, Blockbuster, Borders, and Virgin to MARK IT DOWN. It's like, almost 25 bucks! HEL-LO...that is NOT coolio. Yeesh.

But yeah...if you're looking for a JJ fix, and don't have access to the Night Visions episode (yet), please choose one (or two...or three) of the following to rent for your Blockbuster Night:

• Camp Nowhere (1994) ... the movie that started it all. So to speak. Find him lock lips with some chick and stay cute and funny while doing it!
  
• The Deep End of the Ocean (1999) ... the movie he left GH for about 3 months in 1997 to make. Watch him play the tortured older brother Vincent and do a helluva good job. And if you've got tissues...use them. If not, you've always got your sleeve
  
• Double Play (aka The Prisoner of Zenda, Inc) (1996)... if you want a fix, you can probably get it here because he plays twins. Mmkuhy? Shoot. Also, you can enjoy his brother Richard, and yes, oh yes...William Shatner!
  
• Legend of the Ruby Silver (1996)... is this even on video? They put Night of the Twisters on video, cept instead of John Schneider and Jonathan Jackson, put Devon Sawa in place of JJ. Kinda the same...cept...eh, okay maybe you shouldn't see this one, I probably ruined the experience for you
  
• Trapped in a Purple Haze (2000) ... Dunno if it's on video, actually, but still, maybe you taped it, or someone else did? Just watch it. He turns it out, baby! LOL
• Skeletons in the Closet (2000) ... if they actually do rent the DVD, and you won't have to shell out a gazzillion bucks to buy it...then go for it, dude

  For other fixes, I suggest you turn to:

• Boy Meets World on the Disney Channel. They rerun his episode where he kisses Topanga-manga-spanga sometimes.
  
• Soap Opera Digest because it seems like they do features on him almost ALL THE TIME
  
• His official website, because they always have good goodies.
• J2 which has tons of updates on JJ's info. Very nice.
• And there are others...but right now, I'm just not in the mood to type anymore.

  And Last, but not least, keep your eyes peeled out for these future projects:
  

• Tuck Everlasting, where JJ plays Jesse, a kid who's still the same age after a couple of years. Weird.
• Insomnia, where he plays...well, I'm not sure. But hello, this movie cast includes...Hillary Swank, Robin Williams, and for the love of Pete...Al Pacino. Makes my teeth sweat.

Okay. I'm done. Funny how when I started I was watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch (oh, sorry...just Sabrina...) and now the Millionaire show is on? Dang. I'm weird. So anyway....go forth! Do whatever! Just get your JJ fix now!

maybe this shoulda been called "how to get a JJ fix without thinking for myself..." or maybe it just shoulda been called "a complete waste of webspace done beautifully once again by Cee"
