Drama!  They need drama!
Personally, I rather like the funny leaps.

Maybe Al spends so much time in the Imaging chamber with Sam, and then
so much time ont he rest of the leaps, he really doesn't knwo that Gooshie
adn Tina never broke it off.  Maybe Tina's smarter than she looks (and sounds)
and has gotten discreet.  I felt really bad for Al, now that he finally
said it, becasue I just think it's goign to hurt more when he finally
does find out.

>The dresses were nice.

I thought the first blue one was very attractive.

>Sam's near spit takes were hysterical.  

Al's stream of synonyms had me on the floor.  he's so used to using them,
he just couldn't be serious.  The therapy sessions in this were icing
for me.  I loved them.

Me too.  I don't want QL to go away just yet.  You never know what we
may miss if it gets cancelled now.
Or if they just decide to end it. (no! she screams in anguish. I'm not ready!)

Maybe the new leapee comes in wherever teh old leapee was.  Which means
Al and Ziggy were wrong about why Sam didn't leap out of Styles in "Killin'
Time".  Apparently it doesn't matter where the leapee is.  Unless, all
that is necessary is that the leapee actually be inside the Project.

Yes, I think they left out the normal time lag so they coudl surprise us with
the vampire.  Chances are this won't happen again.
