YEP...

It was so nice to see them both really appear to have missed each
other...And I think Jenn finally was shown to have missed Jack,
and presented as actually have missed him. The scene in bed was
a treat...it has been so long since we saw them there..and finally
some more suggestive stuff then we've seen from them. I loved the
poem bit...and found it really touching, and it such a pleasant
suprise...mentioning the wedding and all what with us being 
cheated from seeing a 1st Anniversary. I was amazed that the
writers actually remembered that bit. And think the poem to be
really prophetic. And I did love the ending....Jack opening up
just a tade, with out being too mushy, and unJackesque. And what
I did like was when Jenn intimated that they return to the bed,
Jack had another suprise for her....the song. I really liked the
fact that it ended with them dancing, instead of in the bed all
over each other (but don't get me wrong I loved it earlier on).
The main problem with Carly and Bo is that that is all the do.
We rarely if ever see any touching, just cute scenes with them.
This greatly hampers any belief that their relationship is 
anything but physical. And I love "Wonderful, Wonderful." I think
the song is an appropriate song for J&J, light, funny, yet with
a degree of emotion, and love; I think it does a good job summing
up their relationship.  And it was so nice to hear a song again.

I was a little disappointed that we saw so little of Caliope...
I think that they should have not used the Carly Med Van, and
Bo first day on the force on the same day as Caliope's return.
The first two should have been handled on a different day, and
developed more, as should the J&J/Caliope stuff. I think it
was so odd to have that throw in Tanner/Molly stuff. If yesterday
they would have done more J&J and MORE Caliope, and then do
more Molly and Tanner, and then today or Friday focus on Carly's
Med Van and Lizard, as well as Bo and his new partner I would
have enjoyed it more.

I did like Lizard, yet, they cannot make
him good, he would be positively ruined. Sure, the guy could
occasionally hshow some warmth, some humor, but it would wreck
the character if he were made good. He has been on two years
and still no acknowledgement of the rape, or trying to kill
half of Salem....Another problem I have is that he inprisoned
MM, Carly's brother, and tried to kill him, I doubt that would
endear me to a guy...I'd be pissed with him forever.  Though,
I do think that if TPTB expect to gain support for Carly from
the fans that it would be in their and Crystal's best interest
to make her bad, and perfect match for Lizard...and heck, who
says that two vile people can't love one another....And I
think that Crystal could handle it much better than her present
role, and if I were she I would much prefer being an interesting
baddie, than an unbelievable out to save the world, wunderdoktor,
the bad character is far more interesting and much more enjoyable
to portray.


Spud--Actually said a series of nice things....well I still
have 5 more episodes of TP to wacth--Peel.
