Why did Joel come along?  Did Maggie need a date for a family reunion? 
She could of taken the lawyer... uh, wait, he's a loon.  Ok, the doctor
is a fine choice.

Another thing, according to the Bates' NX Episode Guide, the title of
this episode is "The Big Beast" (4.14 - 2/1/93)... Now I am really
confused about the 3/15/93 episode titled "Grosse Pointe 48230" (4.20). 
What?  Two Grosse Pointe episodes in six weeks?   

Well, here are the next several episode titles, courtesy of Andy Bates.

4.14     2/1/93    "The Big Beast"

4.15     2/8/93    "Learning Curve"

4.16     2/15/93   "Ill Wind"

4.17     2/22/93   "Love's Labour Misplaced"

4.18     3/1/93    "Northern Lights"

4.19     3/8/93    "Family Feud"

4.20     3/15/93   "Grosse Pointe 48230"

Aerial photos for the state of Alaska are available from
the University of Alaska Geo Data Center. They have black
and white photos and color (generally infra red false color)
photos of most - or all - of the state. Last I knew, they cost 
about $15 for an 8" x 8" contact print, and the processing
time for an order was about two weeks. Contact them in Fairbanks
for more info -they're very helpful about locating the area
you want to see (wonder if they can show Cicely?). Enlargements
are available for about $75. These are U-2 high altitude photos - 
very clear, and the enlargements are no doubt very high quality.

I won't mince words. I think this would be a collosal mistake. Rob
Morrow, IMHO, it the best actor in the cast.  I think his two
Golden Globe nominations and Emmy nomination attest to this.

I think the character of Joel Fleischman is the ballast for the
rest of the show--Joel is the voice of reason, skepticism and
"reality" that gives the audience a point of reference for
all the crazy goings on in Cicely. If they were to dump Rob for
another actor, they would only have to replace him with a 
similar type character for the formula to work. And no one could
do that type of character better than Rob--so leave him be.

Besides, as has been shown with the Maggie/Mike "romance" I think
the producers would be hard pressed to come up with someone who
has as good chemistry with Janine Turner as Rob Morrow. Just take
a gander at "Spring Break" or "It Happened in Juneau." 

Since Rob's contract has been signed, sealed and secured, I don't
see him getting hit by a caribou anytime soon. Thankfully!

Potential spoilers for 2/15:































First off, I'm still not sure Joel and Mags will have sex.  The TV Guide 
article merely mentioned that they would have a "roll in the hay."  They 
may just trip together in a barn and roll down a hay stack.  

Even if they *do* make the beast with two backs, I really, really doubt 
that they'd ace off Joel.  As I suggested before, the good doctor will 
probably end up suffering a whole bunch of near misses.  Something of the 
lines of:  At the end of 2/15, Joel and Mags go to bed together.  Next 
episode, Joel heads off to his office considerably late (Maggie kept him 
in bed).  He discovers firefighters putting out flames where his office 
used to be.  Seems there was a gas leak and it was a damn good thing he 
came as late as he did or else Cicely, Alaska would've needed a new 
doctor.  He then heads off to the store, heads back to his car, gets out 
(because he forgot to get something for Maggie), and hears his vehicle 
get smashed to pulp as a 36-wheeler logging truck hits it.  Then, at home 
about to eat the take-out dinner he got at the Brick, Maggie invites him 
over to her place.  He skips dinner for the main course (nod, nod, wink, 
wink) and stays the night.  The next morning, he gets a call from 
Holling:  Don't eat the dinner I made for you.  It's filled with 
botullism.  Etc.

I for one, am waiting for 2/15 just to see Maggie finally punch Joel in 
the nose.

	Not gonna happen unless something really goes wrong with the
writers.  Maggie's character has been established to much as a loving
person.  I could not accept the idea of Maggie intending to kill anyone.
	Especially when you consider how long she dealt on "dead" after the
other pilot died and she was indirectly responsible.  Anyone who feels that
way could not kill anyone, except perhaps in self-defense.

Hmm. "Positive" and "negative" with respect to electromagnetic phenomena such
as ions have nothing to do with "goodness" and "badness".  However, I
believe that in general people talk about "negative ions" because air
which is slightly negatively ionized has a tendency to make people feel
better, be a little more alert, etc., than air which is slightly
positively ionized.

I too was disappointed with the 1/18 episode, I thought that the Maggie
and Mike thing was an interesting devleopement though.  In defence of the
writers the Maggie-Mike relationship had to do something, whatching them
deny their feelings for each other was getting a little frustrating.

The One Who Waits story was interesting but that could me due to the
fact that I didn't see the orginal One Who Waits story.

Commenting on the statment that episodes involving Joel and Chris are
more entertaining, I couldn't agree more.  Chris's character provides 
more insight and makes more thought-proviking (sp?) statments than any
other character.  
	Joel makes life at NE a little more entertaining due to his seemingly
hostile respose to the situation he is in (ie the reason he has to stay
in Ciciley).  Joel really likes where he is and except possibly for the
lack of life theatening emergencies he is required to face he would be
perfectly happy to stay in Alaska for another five years.  Although once
given the chance, Joel will bolt but he would long to be back in Alaska.

Could anyone tell me the names of two episodes please.

2. The controversial "Is Chris Gay"/Brother Simon episode.

Some quick questions:

1. Who was the wolf. Not who did he represent, but who played him. Was it a

(he seemed so familiar but just beyond recognition)

2. Anyone have NEXP sound file or know of an FTP site?

Just thought I'd add something that my English PhD husband (forgive me, I'm
proud of him, he's new at this!) casually stated about this episode: did you
notice the subtle parallel of the guy who couldn't see (the piano tuner)
and one who could not be seen (One Who Waits)?  I hadn't, but thought it was
sort of cool once he pointed it out.  (Parallel may not be the right word
here, juxtaposition, maybe?)
Whoever said it, I second it -- nothing good on till Monday.  Oh well.

Have there been any episodes shown this year that didn't have Joel in
them at all? Shouldn't there be one or two that he wasn't in due to Rob
Morrow's contract dispute? Maybe episodes like this where he's hardly in
it, the scenes with Dr Joel were filmed  after the contract incident,
while the rest of the scenes were shot during the contract dispute.

Just guessing...

Never saw Dr. Quinn, but Picket Fences seems more PC to me than NEXP.
Virtually every episode they are hammering home the PC viewpoint on
some topic or other.  NEXP raises a lot of issues on the PC agenda
like the environment, feminism and homosexuality but tends to leave
the viewer to draw his own conclusion.  The 1/11 show did a good job
of raising the question of homosexuality without bashing the viewer
over the head with gay rights propoganda.

Except of course when he was with his ex that one night, before
they decided to end it for good, Joel has 'suffered' from lack

And while i agree with you, I fear a whole new Mike-like tangent
in the storyline that will just serve to clutter up the show even
more.  I hope that if they give Joel a 'love interest' that she
is just a passing charachter....one that lasts maybe 2-3 episodes
tops.

Well, Maggie has been going off the deep end here lately, and
maybe a little wake up call is in order if she and Joel are
to start the home fires a burnin'.  I hope they move that direction
within the next season or so.

     In Thomas Pynchon's novel _Gravity's Rainbow_ (set in London
during WWII), silent death via the V2 rocket occurs wherever the
protagonist, Slothrop, has been sexually active.  (_Silent_ because
the V2 travels at a speed greater than that of sound, so the
explosion precedes the warning whistle of a falling object.) 
Slothrop scores at location X, and a few hours later a V2 slams
into location X; he sleeps with another woman at location Y, and
shortly thereafter a V2 demolishes location Y.  Coincidence, or
unfathomable cause and effect?
     Maggie's effect on men seems to echo this:  Maggie becomes
involved with Rick, and silent death -- a satellite -- rains down
from above.  She is becoming involved with Mike the Bubble Man, and
his manner of death will likewise come silently from above:  some
ketone or chloride raining down from the sky.
     In Maggie's big speech in the Duets episode, didn't she
mention "cause and effect" and "gravity" in explaining to Mike her
effect on men?
