According to Joshua Brand and John Falsey, that Running of the Bulls
episode was supposed to be longer, but due to some mistakes by the
extras, that scene was cut short... and if you watch the end of that
Spring Break episode, you know that Rob Morrow, who is at the end of
the pack, stops running for some reason... interesting.

This has been posted before (I think I was the last person to
post it), and is now in the FAQ (as I understand from Sharon
Crighton -- sorry if I spelled the name wrong).  But I will post
it here to save your burning question from burning up the net
before the FAQ is posted next.  :-)  Also in case someone else
wants it.

You can get the song on a demo tape.  It is not (yet) released
commercially.  To order a copy of the demo tape, which has two
other songs besides "Toy Cows," send $4.50 (which includes
shipping), to:

Ed Willett
3968 Eureka Drive
Studio City, CA  91604

I didn't ask about shipping to outside the U.S.  But if you want
to call them, their number is +1 818 980 9623.  Or if anyone is
interested, maybe someone in California could call and ask, and
post, to save long-distance charges for others.

It was Ed I spoke to.  He sounded very nice, and pleased in the
interest in the song.  If I remember right, he plays drums.  The
group (called "Chance," by the way), is releasing a CD on 1
January, with a tape to follow soon after.  If you want, he will
put you on a mailing list so you can get notification of the CD
release.

Dear Santa:

I have been a good girl this year and I am hoping that you are linked into the 
internet somehow and will read this and fax a copy to Josh Brand at Pipeline 
Productions. Though I myself have their fax number, I think it would
carry more weight coming from you.

I wish the NX writers would stop trying so hard to be profound.

I wish Ed could make another great short like "Cicely."

I wish the make-up people would lay off the purple lipstick on
Janine Turner.

I wish that Joel & Maggie would start bantering and bickering
again.

I wish that Maggie would see the obvious appeal of a short
Jewish neurotic doctor over a tall, blonde, balding lawyer.

I wish I could really laugh-hard, at least once every episode
instead of this kind of simpering smiling I'm doing now.

I wish the writers would recognize that at this point last
year, we had already seen such classics as "Oy WIlderness";
"Animals-R-Us"; "Only You" and "Jules et Joel".  This year
the track record isn't that good.

And most importantly Santa, (and you can send a fax to Rob
Morrow *personally* from me)

I WANT JOEL BACK FULL-TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! I MISS HIM!!!!

Actually, this brings up another unimportant point that occurred to me the
first time I watched the show. Maurice is TALL! The Mercury astronauts were
all chosen from a pool of test pilots, for whom there is a height limit,
and the height limits for the early astronauts were at least as stringent
(I seem to remember that it was <= 5'6"). You couldn't stuff a big man
into a space capsule.  Go to the Air & Space museum at the Smithsonian,
or any number of other museums that would have Mercury era space suits
or capsules, and you'll see what I mean. The early astronauts were
not big men.

All that aside, I think Barry Corbin is ideally suited to his role.

Yes, but Chris doesn't pay taxes, does he.  :-)  He said so to
Bernard in "Aurora Borealis," when Bernard offered to help him if
he ever got in trouble with the IRS.

So law enforcement would have to find him some other way.  And if

me! but i don't take Maggie or the bubble man very seriously.

i saw Darren Burrows in a cheesy movie called 'Class of 1999'. he 
plays a junkie. if i remember correctly his hair wasn't really 
blonde, just sort of a mongrel reddish-brown with blonde streaks. of 
course, considering the theme of the movie it's impossible to tell 
what kind of gunk they put in his hair.

'Class of 1999' also has the dubious distinction of having NINs
'Head Like A Hole' on the soundtrack.

Here are some quick/brief reflections on tonight's NX installment.

That whole Mike & Maggie thing really started to 'out-gas.'  I guess
it turned out ok/as expected, but that whole awkwardness bit where
O'connell starts talking about platonic relationships and such...
for a second there I thought she was going to bring up her past
history with boyfriends.

The Ed story line had some wierd turns (like any one didn't notice).
 First of all, that transformation was interesting.  Just a note, Ed
seems to drink some times and not other times.  He has had beers in
the Brick, but then he orders root beers on other occasions.  I
almost threw up when Ruth-ann tells Ed something is about to strike,
then he bites into the fish/ring combo.

How many times does the Flying-Man need to be shot down before he
gets the point.

A Chris update:  he stated in the show that he has known Ed for 6
years, yet in the "Democracy" episode, he jumped parol in '87-  you
figure it out.

Did anyone else see that Taco Bell ad, the one with Erik Estrada (NX
fans know that he is doing dinner theater in Juneau... at least in
Joel's mind).  When that woman takes a bite of that taco and the
anounser said "she took a bite of that big beef..."  sugestive,
ain't it.

People  are always looking for a problem with the show, well here is
a big one.  Joel isn't playing a large part in each episode.  The
more he is in an episode, the better the episode usually is.  You
want to improve the show, show more Fleischman.

For all those who complained that NX characters seem to abuse the
environment, I hope you are satisfied with the extremist element
Bubble Boys brings to the show.

I don't know what is more entertaining.  The show or watching Ed run.

You know how Joel said that the Flying man needed a 'boo.'  Was
Marlyn's rejection the boo, or was Fishman just blowing more hot air?

Man, those solar pannels are really facing the wrong direction.

It's good to see the bubble man get out now and then... It's nice to
see that Maggie throws like a girl.

Here is the answer to the question everyone is asking.  IMHO, THAT
WAS STEVEN SPEILBERG (sp?).  The show is produced/distributed by
Universal Television, and Universal Pictures does have Speilberg by
the balls, so Iwouldn't be surprised at all if that was really him.

That's all for now.

The last two full scenes were Ed throwing the ring back into the river and
Joel removing the Flying Man's cast.  Looked like the next scene was going

I wondered about that too.  What might have been more accurate would have
been to use something along the lines of a Space Shuttle EVA suit, or a
Launch/Entry suit.  Even simpler would have been to go with military-type
NBC gear (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical).  The suit depicted was a Project
Mercury flight suit, which weren't really suited for the hiking about that
Mike was doing.
Pardon the nit-picking.

I enjoyed Ed's part of the show, and really enjoyed the stuff with marilyn, 
but I hate to see I just don't like Mike. I could care less about his

Maggie. I wish they would get back to Joel and Chris, and Holling.

I thought it funny (and expectable) that Maurice was confused by Maggie  
cooking. He is pretty dense when it comes to romance. I was surprised though  
that Ruth-Ann didn't pick up that Maggie was trying to impress the Bubble  
Man. She usually seems to be pretty wise.

Anyone else find it weird?

Also, I loved the show! Especially the blue and red tube people that were  
watching Joel play golf.

PS. Has anyone heard of "The Blue Men Group"? They would make for great

Marilyn asked for just a small amount, and Bob filled it to the rim.  Then
you actually see Marilyn grab that glass.  Then Bob pours his own glass,
and puts even less in it.  Then we cut to another shot, further back, and
I thought they had simply switched glasses so Marilyn got the less full one.

Whoa, I have noticed that there have been remote connections this
season with Seinfeld and NX, but this Bubble boy one is a new one. 
I haven't been watching Seinfeld that much this year (Blame
residential education), so could someone fill me in on this bubble
boy parallel.

As for not laughing hard during NX, when Maggie was squirming around
with the platonic issue with Mike, I was rolling.  Not so much
because of the witty writing, but more from the fact that it was
really predictable to me and that I have seen it all before some
where.

And what's up with that purple lipstick?
