Noah, What’s the T?
It’s no secret that Noah’s Arc is my favorite show on the tube today. No, it’s not the riveting acting or the thoughtfully laid-out plot lines – truth is the acting is still mediocre and the plots show the need for creative writers to join creator and writer Patrik Ian-Polk to generate some meatier scripts. Noah’s Arc simply has characters that allow me to see myself – albeit physically – on television. The story, about 4 gay black friends in Los Angeles, is in its second season. After a season finale that left, main character, Noah man-less, hooker-freak Ricky in love and Alex bewildered and lonely, the boyz have returned with more flavor, added supporting characters and a change in the main character’s personality traits. The most disturbing of these character changes is Alex. Formerly the momma bear and pull-no-punches character, Polk has managed to relegate Alex to a punked-out fool who questions exposing his partner Trey’s (now) homeboy, Guy as a man-stealing closet queen. This has been undoubtedly the most disappointing story line of the season. It is undermining NA’s ability to be believable, while still delivering acceptable cheesy dramedy. I’m still holding tight and hoping the series takes a more thought-out turn. Don’t miss LOGO’s reruns of the previous week’s episode each Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. and the current episode immediately following it at 10 p.m.

On Blast
If you’ve been watching Noah’s Arc you know that the characters have decidedly different personalities; some over-the-top and some mainstream. What character do you most identify with? Which character do you wish you were more like?

REMINDER ...16 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being
released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls.....YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS
To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222.
It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time.
It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you are wanting to have blocked.
You cannot call from a different phone number.
Although I like to believe that I’m most like Ricky, the truth is I’m a Noah at heart – an undying romantic that, at times, makes some pretty dumb choices. In the end my heart is in the right place.
Okay, I’m all for the speak-your-mind, but that last comment about Just Me was unnecessary, crass and angry. Get a grip, get a man (I have my ideas on who it is) and get off the “frag” comments – while you’re at it, go ahead and learn to spell… especially when you’re spewing hate.
I loved your comments at Keith Boykins blog. You were right at every turn. But Patrik did get additional writers; I think they just wanted to give people more excitement at the expense of character continuity. Alex really was very no nonsense now his as acting like a fool about this whole Guy mess.
I can't say that I relate to anyone on Noah's Arc but the show is wonderful. I try not to miss a show but failed to realize that I missed a couple already :(
I'll keep watching it and borrow or rent the first season from somebody so I can catch up!
