NBC Show Has Priest Killed in Opening Shot
I love the website Newsbusters because I imagine rows of cubicles of people sitting around watching television and their boss yelling at them to watch more tv. But I also like it because it saves me from having to watch this dreck. (Is that how you spell "dreck? Wait, now I'm actually wondering if it's even a word or just something my mother used to say.)
Anyway, Newsbusters reports:
Actually, in most tv shows, the priest would be the one ripping people's faces off and chaining them to a furnace in the sacristy. So, at least there's that. See, and you thought I was a glass half empty guy.
Anyway, Newsbusters reports:
NBC's Midnight, Texas is back on the list for yet another religious slam. This time a human priest faces possibly the most violent and gruesome death of the series so far. And right next to his church.I think there's a silver lining here though. The good news is that at least the killing of the priest is portrayed as a bad thing. That at least is different than most tv shows.
The September 11th episode "Last Temptation of Midnight" opens with a faceless creature worshipping a demon by a cross. Already a bad start, the scene continues with a priest walking over to the figure which, of course, leads to his inevitable but predictable demise. Here, the episode already takes a bloody twist with the demon cutting the priest's face off so he can wear it as a mask.
