No, the new guy was Mr Shue, playing Billy Campbell (retch!), and Matt's
remark was "He's cute," followed by Rhonda's "I saw him first!"

Or was that the other way 'round...? :-)

Got talking to my boyfriend on the phone last night, and before I knew it,
it was way past 10 o'clock, and I realized that I had missed that night's
episode of "Melrose Place".  Argh.  I was wondering if some kind soul out
there would please mail me a synopsis of what happened during the episode.
I'm looking for the 11/11/92 episode...

Thanks,

Did anyone else notice the strange goigs on with Marilyn's Champagne? The
Flying Man poured it and it nearly overflowed. There was a camera cut as he
poured his own and Marilyn's glass was instantly down to 2/3 full (with
less champagne).
By the time they clinked glasses and drank, the glass was only 1/3 full.

On the whole, I loved this episode. Everything, pretty much, except the
Bubble Boy. Nope, don't like 'im one bit. Sorry, don't try to change my
mind. Don't ask for explanations. It's just a gut feeling.

Probably because the bubbles took up most of the space until
they started disappearing.  And is this something to worry about?

My big question is what happened in the first 15 minutes of
Quantum Leap yesterday (since I had my vcr set wrong)?

Good show! But when Ed bit into the ring, all I could think was
"gee, didn't he clean that fish before he (or Ruthanne) cooked
it?"  We're not talkin' oysters here - you can leave the head
on, but I always remove the internal organs (including digestive
tract and contents) before cooking. Tastes better that way! (But
doesn't lend itself to dramatic discoveries.)

I've seen Mummenschanz live on stage, and it's amazing how much
personality the performers can give to supposedly inanimate
objects. The way the Flexible Tubes reacted to the live
performers was delightful. Just as delightful was the way the
live characters accepted the presence of the Tubes and
Blockheads.

Hollywood never gets science right (because they don't have to cater
to a scientific audience), but NX is a good show despite its Bad
Science.  At least they focus on the characters and plot.  I can't
count how many times I've seen other shows screw up things like:

	o having women wake up in the morning with makeup already
	  on their faces and their hair barely mussed

	o showing people punching each other without hurting
	  their hands

	o showing a car slow to a stop from 30 mph, but dubbing a
	  little <screech> in for effect

Or the worst one:

	o when people hang up the phone without saying "goodbye"

At least NX is not guilty of these "movie of the week" offenses.

Well if we really want to be accurate, the space suit wouldn't have done
the bubbleman any good anyway, because as I heard reported by Charles
Osgood on CBS radio, all the real space suits from back then are falling
apart. Even in the museum setting, they're falling apart, and with the
way it's been treated on NX, it should probably be a pile of dust. It
seems that our modern materials really aren't standing up to the test of
time. Acrylic paints last 10 years, but we still don't know how long oil
paints last, because they're still lasting today.

The fact that Maggie had showered (I thought she said only once) since
she had used her perfume, and Mike had detected the perfume was the
ONLY proof that I noticed that Mike was not "off his rocker."

This only points out that he has a sensative nose, or Maggie uses too
much perfume, or both.  There was a guy at my college who used TOO MUCH
cologne.  We thought that his "after shower" amount was still pretty
strong.

After accepting that someone can smell someone's perfume after a shower,
you can't expect me to automatically accept that he can detect
things occuring on the other side of the planet.

What's more, this show is set in Alaska.  From friends who have
lived there, I know that there are parts that don't get a heck of
a lot of sun.  Juneau and Ketchican, for instance.  Never mind
that in the show they have a lot of sunny days.  I don't see how
solar panels could be effective.

Unless, of course, Cicely is above the Arctic Circle, AND close
to a major road, AND gets enough sun to make solar panels
worthwhile -- more constraint on its location.  :-)

I thought the whole point was that Maggie turning domestic was such a jarring
switch,.  We, the audience, KNOW that's not what she's like, and so do Maurice
and Ruthanne, who expressed their astonimshment that Maggie was cooking.  It
was obvious that she was "changing" to make an impression on Mike: "Oh,
Maurice, I cook all the time!  Muffins, mostly.. I cook muffins.  All the
time (paraphrase)."  The writers haven't made her different, they've made her
ACT different.  I've gone more indepth on this in a trebuchet post that I
haven't gotten around to sending yet, but I won't go into it here.  Of course
Mike doesn't want her to be domestic, he would want her to be herself, but
of course, he doesn't know her well enough yet to know what kind of person she
is.

Janine Turner played the co-star of the musical.  Sam's old piano
teacher is her understudy.  When Cullum see the piano teacher, he
is immediately taken with her to replace Turner in the upcoming 
performance.  Turner, meanwhile, is really jealous that the character
Sam leaped into is no longer interested in her.

I meant tow say that the Flying Man and the Bubble Man "took drastic
steps" in an attempt to avoid losing Marilyn (I don't know why I 
consistently misspelled her name in my posting) and Maggie.  However,
the absence of the "k" in "took" did make for an interesting Freudian
slip.  The other typos should be relatively easy to figure out.
