OK-ay...why was there so much of the show dedicated to TwinKims...I really
was annoyed by this. She was the last face we saw for the week ender, and
the last scene concerned her, this was inappropriate.  Now, I think that the
WHOLE show should have dealt with Ickie and those friends and family attending
her farewell party. I would much rather have seen the people as they get 
ready for the party deal with the whole thing, like (even I as a chief Carly
& Bo hater) Carly & Bo preparing for the party, and discussing things, she
is his half sister; J&J and the Hortons talking about the baby, but remembering
the party, and its significance; more scenes of people talking at the party,
esp. Vic and Julie.  But TwinKims was a BIG WASTE...

Okay one last thing....Matt had no dialogue....sigh....but he still was
great.....


Now, I liked the party....I thought it was sad, and I, though did not cry,
was saddened. I like the video talking to each of the attendees, esp.
the parts concerning J&J, and Vic, but even Bo and Carly, and Marlena. 
I liked the way that it was more the reactions of the attendees, than a
focus on Ickie. And the final shot with that song, and everyone's reactions
was, for me very good. J&J holding eachother, a realization that life IS
SHORT, and that every moment counts, Carly feeling for Bo's loss, Victor
completely crushed, Julie wanting to do something for him, but remaining
silent, yet hurting for him; and then everyone else, all speechless. I
thought it was rather powerful, and no matter what on feels for Ickie, I
think that the situation could apply to the lose of anyone, and thus the
whole thing really was excellent, and emotional.  Then the last scene
with John holding a sleeping Ickula, the focus on John and his loss--and
the baby. Again the impact was somewhat ruined by that stupid, useless
shift to TwinKims, and WrongMan....

Now the SONG....That was such a great song, and so sad....Marty Davich
has done it again, found an appropriate song to use for a particular
feel, the song made the episode, and set such a great mood, more than
any dialogue.

Now I have a question who sang the song? The singer has such a distinctive
voice; and I am not sure what the gender of the singer is. Also, I could
swear that this same singer has been used a number of times before, since
the distinctiveness of the singer's voice has always stood out in my mind.
So does anyone know who the singer is?  And what is the title of the song,
is it "For All We Know"? Also, it seems to be a old song from the 30s or
40s--because the other songs which the singer has song on the show
all have been from this time period--on account of the mood. I really
enjoyed the lyrics, only to be cut off, but WrongMan....yuck, and even
worse TwinKims....

So what is this "Somebody to Love" from Jefferson Airplane as Kim's
theme song? I suppose the "somebody to love" refers to Kim's desire
to be loved, but excuse me, wasn't she loved by Shane? Didn't Shane
help her with her past, helped deal with it? I mean he knew she was
a prostitute from the very beginning, and helped her go after Madam
X, Linda Anderson her Madam; he knew from the beginning she was
molested by her Uncle--he was the first person she confided. And why
wasn't she at the Ick's going away party? 


Spudnix--Oh sisters Banana and Unyon forgive me for blaspheming, but
I did like Friday--Peel.
