Thursday, November 20, 2003 So, rushing through the chaos of the internet today is the news that Jonathan Brandis is dead. What's odd about the story is that it's gotten no news coverage -- the best wrap-up I could find was by this blogger here, where the girl actually called the morgue to make sure there was a dead guy in it. Jonathan Brandis. My first celebrity crush, who made me want to be smart and funny because his character on Seaquest seemed to like that in a girl, his character who made being a geek awesome, who made me want to be more. I didn't see his later work. Maybe I should have. Maybe this is a sign to finally sit down and watch Ride With the Devil. As well as Sidekicks. Jonathan Brandis is dead, and no one cares. Something is wrong with the world. | permalink blog • archives • photos • about • contact This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. All content © 2004.
