That's somewhat true at times. But the ends do not justify the means.
Using offensive ads to further a political cause seems unacceptable to me.

David Irving was deported from Canada because of his conviction(s) in
Germany. He was convicted of hate crimes so it is only a technicality but
in theory Canada wasn't expelling him for his writings.

I agree, that music was very spooky, and very good.  I'd also like any
information that's available about that piece, and the one that was
played during the fire near the end.  It was already a great episode,
but then they added great music! icing on the cake.

It was already shown not too long ago.  USA shows them
almost in order and are cruising through the last season
now (the hurricane one is on today), which means they're
almost done.  Check the episode guide and see how far up it
is, guess when it's on, and check periodically to update
your guess- because you never know what those USA guys'll

Actually, there are three Jackson daughters.  The one you missed is
Rebbie, and I think she might be the oldest of the Jackson children.  In
the first part
of the miniseries, she got married.  I also remember that she had one hit
song back in the mid eighties.

The brother you missed is Jackie, and I think he's the oldest of the sons.
He had a bigger role in the first part of the mini-series, but you're
right in that he really wasn't mentioned in the last hour or so.  Tito
and Jermaine
(and, of course, Michael) got more attention in this movie than he did.

I guess the kids called their father by his name because they weren't
very close to him.  Even as young children, they were calling him
"Joseph."

about the 10/18 and 11/01 ratings is that Home Improvement was on the half hour

channels.

According to the ratings, the show you like so much is a bust.

Don't feel bad, there are shows that I have liked through the years that
didn't get the ratings either.

It has effectively been canceled, though officially it's only on hiatus,
and presumably the 8 or so episodes that have not been aired will
eventually be shown by CBS.  Producer Gary David Goldberg is reportedly
very upset about the cancellation, and is going to try and sell the show
to a cable network.

And the 6th Jackson son is Jackie. And Jermain is spelled with a "J".

I read the episode guide, Jason, I just don't scan it thoroughly after

(Please don't flame, that was just a joke.)

However, you do bring up an interesting point. What if Sam leaps into a
situation, and by touching one of the other participants, discovers his
future self? See, he failed the mission the first time, and so he leaped
in again, this time to someone else, to correct his earlier mistake.
Might be interesting.

there is no date overlap, or do they just let the dates fall where they

And speaking of Sally, where has she been? I'm depending on her to tell

Yes, Paul Sorvino's character is being written out of the series.  He will
be replaced next week by Jerry Orbach, who is getting some advance raves 
for his performance.

Sorvino left the show because his first love is performing opera, and all
the outdoor shooting required for Law & Order irritated his throat,
especially in those New York winters.  The producers couldn't work out a
good way to get around all the outdoor shooting, since the authentic
New York locales are an important element in the show's atmosphere, so
Sorvino left the show as soon as an acceptable replacement could be cast.

Spoilers, kind of:

















I can't believe they stole from the plot of The Bad Seed so blatantly -- 
whether Abigail is guilty or not is irrelevant -- this is really bordering on
plagiarism.  For those of you who have never seen the Bad Seed, let me 
summarize:

A young, frightening little girl who appears to be very sweet begins to kill
off everyone who annoys her -- starting with a classmate of hers who won a 
medal she'd wanted to win (_her_ medal, not his -- sound familiar?).  Her 
mother begins to suspect, and, knowing that she had been adopted (the mother
was, that is, or something like that) the mother began to research her own 
family background and discovered, surprise, that her own mother (that is, the
child's grandmother) had been a mass murderer who'd killed off her entire 
family -- except for the mother, who escaped.  So, when the mother realized
her daughter was a murderer, she overdosed on sleeping pills, and died.
So I'm more than a little ashamed of QL for lifting this story so obviously.


On another subject, whose body was it Sam leaped into at the end of this
episode?  Was it the guy who stuttered?

   One thing I have wondered about, How does one go about making a newsgroup?
Who do you contact? Is there a certain amount of people nessessary to start
