Yes.  Cute but Sagan has to ignore a few points.
Unfortunately, I only caught the last five minutes, and I saw the
digits whizzing by.  A co-worker briefly held the pi-record at around
30 million decimal digits (it's now over 2 billion).  Cute, but the
number is transcendental. I hope the writers did their research

True in California (or used to be).  Vividly in my mind, since

who kept saying "call my boss at XXX, he'll verify that I'm a

Organization: MIND LINK! - British Columbia, Canada
Distribution: world

The 10/12 episode of Northern Exposure was the best one so far this season.
Here are some of my highlights and some quotations:

[1] Opening scene: Chris was driving down the road. A truck was coming the
    other way. That was Rolf delivering the clock. It's really easy to miss
    this the first time around, mostly because you did not know that he was
    going to be part of the show.

[2] Chris is finding it hard to tell Amy that he killed her dog. The
    electrician blurted out, "He killed your dog." Spoilsport.

[3] Maurice was expecting a "technokraut" instead of Rolf.

[4] Amy, on why the dog was buried there, "He liked this tree."

[5] Amy, in romantic conversation with Chris in his trailer, "All that
    stuff I said about pi, I meant every word."

[6] This is the best scene. Maurice was really gungho about this wine of his
    and he really wanted Holling and Shelley to confirm his opinion. Holling
    and Shelley didn't like it and Maurice was really upset when he said,
    "Have some walnuts ... it'll complement the taste." The way he said it,
    he really meant, "Maybe with the walnuts, you'll appreciate the taste."

[7] Shelley says, "This is a Swatch. It's never wrong." Ha Ha.

[8] Amy, when she stared into the cage after Chris replaced the bird with an
    imposter, "No, No, No. You did it ... didn't you? You cleaned
    Pete's cage." That was hilarious.

[9] Rolf calling Maurice a "self-satisfied burgermeister" and Maurice having
    the last word with, "you bet your Nordic hindny." Maurice also called
    him a "cabbagehead" earlier.

Offering to carry stuff is not quite the same as saving her life.

I meant to post this earlier, so forgive my lack of timeliness.  The season
opener had a special meaning for me because I can truly relate to Maggie:

I had my appendix out this year-- ON MY 30TH BIRTHDAY!

I was not in the woods of Alaska, but rather in the wilds of Cambridge, MA.  My
appendix actually ruptured (a nasty business I shall not go into here), but it
did make my 30th birthday memorable; I spent no time at all that day worrying
about the ramifications of turning 30, since the ramifications of not turning
30+1day were more pressing.

One tiny thing that bothered me about the second episode was the following:  If
Maggie was getting over an appendectomy, she could not carry anything heavier
than a notebook for some time, but there she was, carrying mailbags (albeit with
Joel's help).  I know I am being picky; the world of television allows for
time discontinuity and miraculous speedy recoveries.

   Repetitious? I don't think so. Rather the opposite. (Hmm, Short sentences.)
I think the writers WANTED us to see the parallels between the two episodes,
but the messages conveyed by the "flings" in each episode were opposites.
In the Cow-Piano flinging episode (sorry, don't remember the episode name),
the message was "It's not the thing you fling...". In this episode, it WAS
the thing he flung. The object flung (flingee?) and the loss of that object 
were more significant by far than the fling.
   I loved the theme of this show. The contrast between Maurice trying to
control time by measuring it and Chris and Amy admiring the immeasurable
nature of Pi was wonderful. I also admired the parallel between Maurice's
demand for precision in what was essentially a work of art and Amy's 
artistic admiration for what is primarily a work of science.

I don't usually watch tv shows because the plots are too predictable. 
That's why I like NEXP.  I've been worried lately, until this week,
because the show was beginning to resemble a soap, with TOO MUCH Joel and
Maggie.  As characters, I'm not that fond of them; they're both too
whiney.  They're ok as a part of the whole, though.  My favorite
characters are Ed and Ruth Ann and Marilyn.  So I was relieved when the
producers gave Maggie and Joel a rest this week.  There's plenty of
relationship drama on other shows--the soaps are full of it.  I hope 
NEXP stays focused on the quirky community and not one or two stars.

That's what was missing!! She looked ok, but it took me a few seconds to

There is a bar in Ithaca, NY called The Chapterhouse that brews its own
beer behind a glass wall at the back of the bar.  You can watch tomorrow's

>She looks almost as though she's been sedated in the commercials, IMO...

I'm sorry and I may be the only one in the world who thinks so, but I've
never been particularly impressed with Janine Turner's intonation. She's
able to do the moving, say the lines, and emote from time to time, but a 
lot of the time her lines sound just like lines, not like something she
actually thought of to say. I've learned to think of it as part of the
character, but I think she's one of the weaker actors on the show.

She sounds the same to me on the commercial, because she only has two
speeds: on and off. Maggie seldom changes. Maggie only becomes more or less
aggressive, with the occasional switch into pleasantness, usually when she's
alone. This may frustrate me so much because basically I *like* Maggie; I
think she could be a great character, but I've learned to see her through
Janine's performance, which is adequate but flawed, IMHO.

To be fair, I think she's grown over the past few months, so I think there's
hope. Sometimes Maggie's emotional blocks are excruciating, though, and I
think more subtle acting could give us more insight into her, instead of
this opacity that makes me want to smack her sometimes. :-)

I detected no interest, in fact no clue, on Ed's part.  There were
