	Hey everybody, what's up?  
	
	The strangest thing has happened.... I haven't watched this show
regularly in almost 2 years, but I have been following the newsgroup.  Of
course, I've noticed that a lot of regulars are giving up on DOOL and
saying goodbye.  However, I've had the opportunity, and maybe the motivation,
to watch a few episodes lately, and i have this funny feeling that I'm back.

"Why??" you ask?  Good question.  Well, these reasons will surely conflict
with a lot of people (and they may include spoilers from today), so hit "n"
now, if you want to avoid controversy or spoilers ;)

^L

	I watched the show today, and to my utmost surprise, it moved REALLY
quickly... a la the "good old Days".  For example, in one show: Lisanne got 
the letter, and showed it to Lawrence instead of dragging out the denoument
for weeks.  Isabella FOUND out she had cancer, and told John ALL IN THE SAME
SHOW, which is lightening-fast by the standards of late.  Carly also told Bo
what was bothering her, instead of making him crazy any longer.  This takes
me back to when plot-lines weren't stretched till they broke, chock full of
bullsh*t and filler, and the same scene in 81 varieties.

	No matter what anyone says, I have always liked the Lawrence and 
Katerina romance, and HATED Carly... becuz with him she is a PERSON,
vulnerable and confused and trusting, not the super-wonder-doc she is with
everyone else.  The explosion that happens when L and K figure out that
Nikki is their kid will be awesome... and the thing with Lisanne today was
cool (i bet she is still trying to get her foot out of her mouth).  Good
writing at last!! 

	I like this death deal with Izzy, not becuz I hate her, but
becuz it is a fresh, uncontrived storyline with a major character.  I was
getting really tired of them bring on minor characters to be the sickly ones.
I think in this case, death will be farmore interesting and exciting than life.

	As far as Kimmie's psycho-ness goes- I think it is as hysterically
ridiculous as all Patsy's acting has been.  As if her mouth isn't big enuff
we have to see it OPEN all the time??  Hee-Haw!!  And her stutterings and 
mutterings are soooo funny, did you catch, "Get back to your cage?" when she
stuck herself with the needle? HAhahahaha....

	I just wanted to point out one more thing before I jump down from
my soap-box... ever since I have been posting to this group I have been just
about flaw-less with my predictions about things.... and nobody -ever-
listens to me111 (at first, anyway..) ;)  For example:

	I hated Patsy from Day 1.
	I was founding member of the Carly-haters club.
	I thought they should kill off Isabella right away and keep Marina.
	I thought Nick had hot n sweet potential when everyone thought
		he was just slime.
	I thought Lawrence was super-hot and awesome before, during, and
		after the rape scene.
	I knew RKK was a bust right off the bat...

Ahhhh yes, I must have extra-sensory perception in this area... from now on,
mortals, you should consult me and I will give you the run-down on the 
future of DOOL characters.  My predictions always come to pass! :)


		Back from "the other side"....
