Wowzers!  A new S.O.S. record!  *4* perfect scores for CoC II!  But a
few negative ratings combined with the lower holiday turnout kept this
one from reaching Relics status.  Sigh.  Not that I don't like Relics
myself, mind you.  I just tend to cheer for the underdog :-)

Oh, while I'm here, let me make a special request to the people who
contribute to this.  It's a simple thing, really.  But when there are
two parters (even though they are few and far between), PLEASE make it
extra clear which episode you're rating.  This is especially true if
your sending me a rating late.  I believe I inadvertantly included a
rating for CoC I in Wed. night's posting for Part II!  If you could,
please mention the part both in the subject line and in the message
body (especially the former, though).

And finally, I'd like to thank all the people who contributed to the
S.O.S. so far this season.  Obviously, this couldn't be done without
you.  Have a Happy New Year, and I'll see you in January for new
episodes of TNG and the premiere of DSN!  (Yes, I'll be expanding the
S.O.S. to cover both series ;-)

Okay, enough of the holiday sentimentality stuff.  Here's the dirt.

Unless you're new to the S.O.S., you can hit `n' now...



WHAT IS IT?
  The S.O.S. (Spoiler-Free Opinion Summary) is a twice-weekly posting
  made by yours truly.  The first posting is made Thursday and is
  intended to give those people who don't see the episode until later
  in the week a hint as to the quality of episode to expect.  The
  second posting is made Sunday and gives the final ratings for the
  entire week as a summary of the opinions of the entire viewing
  constituency (or at least those who participate :-)

HOW DO I JOIN IN?
  Becoming a part of the S.O.S. is simple.  After you've seen the
  episode, send me email at `jreiss@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu'.
  Include a simple rating on a numeric scale (no letter grades --
  too much controversy).  Please do NOT include any spoiler
  information.  I usually don't get to see the episodes until 11am
  Sunday, and I like to go in fresh.

This concludes this installment of the S.O.S.  Join us next posting
for more exciting adventures...

Joe
