Well, I don't know about "too high", but I do think we all deserved to
have "high" expectations.  They sure had long enough to put something
together.  And considering that the show is fighting for its life this
season, I do expect more.

Agreed!  You know, I can't even say that I find her attractive because
I'm so put off by her one-dimensional personality.  Yuck!

Yeah, well, hopefully soon.

I agree that Mary was pretty good.  I thought Karen and Mac were pathetic
though.  Karen has really lost something over the years.  She only has 
one speed now-- painstaking concern.  I'm really sick of it.  And Mac,
ugh, what can I say about Mac?  I think he is related to Stockdale.  He
just comes out with these vocal blasts out of nowhere.  Yuck.

I'm glad too that they didn't go through the hostage stuff and I do
think the whole Paige story was good.  And I like Alex okay, but as
I've said, the acting is a little flat.  I more charismatic actor 
could have really done lots with this role.

Yes, Claudia is great.  And I like any scene with Mort too.  I wonder
if they're going to touch on the fact that he was helping Pierce at 
one time.


>-  Greg and Anne.  What's going on?  I'm dying to know!  I like when I

Like I said, this was the only part I *really* liked, and I liked it for
all the reasons you've listed.  I kind of hope that Anne isn't really 
pregnant.  Since she is going on this dangerous hike to find Greg, it
wouldn't say much for her character.


>good.  I really liked the cabin stuff.  Anne was too funny.  Her "what 
>a dump" comment was priceless.  And, she's gonna follow Greg into the 
>wilderness?  What is she?  Nuts?  It's too funny.


Anne really makes me laugh, as does Greg!  I hope they keep them at
the forefront all season long.  And throw in the Claudia factor and
things can *really* sizzle.

Well, thanks for the optimism.  Maybe tonight will be more enjoyable
for me.
