That is, the character is written to be controversial and abrasive. CJ is well written and Constance does an incredible job acting CJ. So when I say that CJ is my "most unliked" character, I'm not saying I wish she wasn't on the show or that I don't like her in the show. It's really a testament to Kc and Constance that CJ elicits such an emotional reaction from many listeners.

If that makes any sense at all, I'll be surprised.

Now, off to listen the interview (and probably several episodes of the fancast)....

I have a love/disgust type of feeling towards CJ. At times she's one of my favorite characters, smart, driven, takes charge, feisty, vulnerable at times, beautiful sexy voice.... Then when things get personal for her she overreacts. Falls in love at the drop of a hate, then hates your guts as soon as the hat gets dirt on it. Manipulative, and an expert liar. She is well written and expertly portrayed. Kudos for KC and Candice Parng. Someone on the forum (Grognaurd?) said that she has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), which I couldn't agree with more. You can fall in love with her or be awed by her strong traits and easily become manipulated.

It's like, I love her character soooo much, then she does something completely whack and I'm disgusted or ashamed. Like finding out your kid has been bullying younger children for their lunch money or your hero is at times a villain.

CJ, I just cain't quit you.

XOXO Witch Doctor

I love this podcast. Mick and Redbeard have gotten three VERY enthusiastic interviews in such a short time of being on the internet. They're not WA gurus (so I find myself screaming at my iPod things like, "No No No, Micheal didn't say that, Angel did!!!") but they don't pretend to be, either. So, if you're not a WA scholar you won't get lost when theories that have been hashed out in the forum for 3 years are mentioned as if they're common knowledge. There's something for us diehard Journal Readers and something for the casual listener. Also, they have perspectives of things not covered in the forums, and their humor is TOP NOTCH! "Burt and Glen competing for grumpiest old man in the Colony.", "CJ was knocking on everybody's door that morning."

Plus, they've been consistent with their publishing schedule. Thursdays have become my We're Alive Hump Day. (Ew, that makes me sound like a necrophile)
Do yourself a favor and check out these guys, if you haven't already.

Finally listened to the whole interview with Candice Parng. OMG! My nerd heart is a pounding. Plus she sounds like a diehard WA FAN! I bet she could hold her own on the forum with the likes of Grog, SCBubba, Liam, YABC, Lit, 7odd and the rest.

I just listened to the whole interview while making & eating breakfast. Good interview!

One thing I observed about Constance Parng: She. Talks. A. Lot. Wow. About 30 minutes in, I started having this weird feeling like I was eavesdropping on some couple's first date! Nevertheless, a good interview and I look forward to more from these guys.

p.s. Sorry, Constance... but C.J. is still a bitch! Love ya! XOXOXOXO!

All right. I've listened to the interview, composed myself thoughts, and returned to this thread. Let me state--for the record...

Seriously though . . . I loved that interview. Loved. It. Have listened a few times now, but the sad part is just when it gets really interesting it ends. I could have listened to her talk about space until my brain exploded. She really should just record herself talking and post it for us. Or just for me.
