But there has been no corroboration of this story despite "Terri in
Cleveland" being asked for the facts. Like Mark Twain said "The
reports of my death are greatly exagerated" likewise with QL until this
story has been confirmed lets not base to much credence upon one isolated
report.

It is always worthwhile to let the programme makers know that you think
it's a good show so whether or now the report is true get out those pens
and write.

spoilers




















well that was certainly spicy. i had to cover the poor cat's eyes.

when K's love interest left last season, i was darn sure they were tossing
her and cobb together. and when (darn, what's her name -- she died at start of
season 2) went away, i was convinced that the two would wind up together. a
big mistake, IMHO.  then they started bringing maggie more and more into the
picture.

what an interesting character is maggie. here we have a hard hearted, cold,
even mean woman who seems to have more layers than any of the other characters.
cobb is like his dog john -- open and up front to the world
K is more reserved, she can sure express frustration, and you know there is
    a world hidden inside her, trying to get out
Gold is the typical beurocrat, scratch beneath the surface and you'll find
    nothing -- but hey, were you really expecting to?
Maggie -- ahhh now here is a person with something beneath the surface and 
    unfortunatly it seems to be mostly pain.  when she got so involved in the
    family abuse trial, it was due to the abuse from her own father. maggie
    seems to have developed this hard, hard shell to the world. under that is
    a hard, hard shell, under that is pain. under that seems to be some real
    compassion.

when bruce went to jail, maggie was there and offered some supportive words,
    bruce's questioning of this 'comfort' shelled her up again. and the next
    time bruce's mother came to visit maggie was actually comforting to
    her. BUT charged the time back to bruce's account.


she is a very interesting character, but i am torn as to whether i want
her to keep seeing cobb or not. in the first case, i do not want the show to
end up like LA law with bedroom scenes taking over from the court scenes. on
the other hand, poor cobb seems to be the stud of the week, turning his 
character into "mr. lucky" and didn't he play that on St. E?

	   Okay folks, deep breath.  Remember the Superboy TV show.  It 
   supposedly was "in continuity" with the movie series.  However, 
   the first movie didn't have any Superboy references, and I'm sure there
   was something in there with a year on it.  Also notice how the 
   Superboy TV show took place in the present, when it takes place
   years before Superman.

			[...]


I wonder if people worried about this when the M*A*S*H television show
came out?

I am interested if anyone could point me in the direction of the artist who
wrote/performed the music for this weeks Northern Exposure episode... that is
the one with Ed's pet.   Was it Shwartz (sp?)?  I am particularly interested
in the final song about Ed's pet.  Netiquette forbids me from saying what
kind of a pet it is, but the song sounded like it could be called "Song of the

Any takers out there for the source of the song?

   Or maybe, since Richie has yet to "die" and is not truly immortal yet (they

When the last suggestion to split QL off from this group was mooted I
started taking an interest in the traffic in news.group; the plea there was
to STOP the proliferation of groups that is happening. The hierarchy is
getting too diverse making finding ANY relevant group impossible.

Also there are those of us of the otherside of the world who monitor this
and other related groups to gauge whether a TV show is worth watching. I
also suspect that the British TV companies monitor the traffic as well and
base part of their purchasing descions on what is said your side of the
pond. Now if Britain buy a series from the US or Canada that helps your
foreign trade; of course if you dont want to help your own economy split
off every popular show into a ghetto news group of its own and watch the
dollars slide to meet the pound.

[This is my 10 (British) pounds worth at the current exchange rate that's
$20 so my views are worth more than yours. :-)]

We had a candidate for a Congressional seat here in Georgia who was basically
doing the same thing. He wanted to run a 1/2 hour commercial right after the
Falcon's game on Sunday afternoon. The TV station took him to court to force
him to show the ad at a later time, and they won. I don't remember the reasons
the judge gave for his ruling, but the ad was not seen in the afternoon (or
during prime time, I believe).

I've never done a Control-L before...
































	Anyway, one of the notions I thought was most interesting about the show
(I liked it all the way through, by the way) was that Sam sorta 'forced' himself
to come back because he saved Abigail.  By getting her out of the fire, he
extended her own personal history and, by virtue of that, _created_ the new crisis
he is meant to resolve (if Abigail forms the crux of the problem, at any rate). 
So, Sam is getting an interesting perspective on the consequences of his actions.

Just observing...

I too liked the episode a lot more than I expected to. Now, I've never seen
the movie "The Bad Seed", mentioned as the source for this story, so I can't
comment on the plagarism (can you say "The Color of Truth" and "Driving Miss
Daisy"? What, QL steal a story idea... NEVER! :-) )
 
Despite the silly "dum de-dum DAUGHTER OF SIN! dum de-dum dum" ads and the
rushed retitling of this episode, I was quite impressed with Trilogy Pt.1.
I think they used the "there are no records available" gimmick before. I
can't remember which episode, but I think it was season one and a fire was
the culprit that time.
 
Yes, that was the father from ALF (he was also on Buffalo Bill) and
W.K. Stratton (remember him from 'Black Sheep Squadron'?) made his third
LEAP appearance. 'Black Sheep' was a Universal/Belisario production, and
it also featured James Whitmore, Jr. (who directed Trilogy, Pt.1)
Stratton was the lawyer at the sherriff's office, and also appeared in the
QL pilot and the second season episode 'Good Night, Dear Heart'.

You want Elizabeth Back?  Who is this Ms. Back?  [Consider what Herman does
for a living; it's his job to catch mistakes of presentation as well as
mistakes of information.]

Anyhow, if you want Elizabeth back, you have to take Sean in the bargain.
Herman's better off without her, or perhaps in the style of the show I
should put it this way: we're better off without this woman.

W/T/H could do what Knots Landing did with Lisa Hartman Black and Night
Court did with Will Utay: bring a performer back as a new character.
Alternatively they could kill off her snob pals and reunite Elizabeth
with Herman.
