	Nit pick time. Peter Tuddenham is listed as the voice of ORAC
for episodes 13-52. Actually not true. He only took over doing the voice
with episode 14. The actor playing Ensor in episode 13 also did the voice of
ORAC. This is why the voices changes slightly after ORAC's first appearance.

MIA's 'wife' we never heard about - MIA's sister was the
candy striping and she had no intention of divorcing her brother :)

And it was not determined if the Paraplegic vet's wife wanted a
divorce due to the injury or the affair she was having; odds are
she would have got a divorce anyways but catching Sam in the massage
made up her mind :)  I think she wanted to be the dumper not dumpee.

It would be nice to get the story straight if you are going to
critique it - Sam only mentioned the MIA was her brother three or four
times :-)

Ah, but you're missing the point. QL is being pre-empted for the VICE

The second season was shorter (20 episodes) but complete.  They even had a
conclusion to the war, albeit a pretty ridiculous one.

The second season had a couple of the best episodes (the devastating premiere,
the 1953 flashback episode, and one which showed the aliens getting in with
the US government, for example), but a lot of the worst too.  Harrison
Blackwood machine-gunning aliens was a travesty.

 I'll kibbitz here. I think # 3 should be Ancient and Modern Languages
(although that might be a separate degree), and it may not be 
separate from his studies in Egyptology. We don't know that
Sam has a proper degree in music (although it is likely), only that
he'd played Carnegie Hall before. As for changing things, we know
Sam has changed his own history, maybe averting a few tragedies
gave him more time to study. ;-) 

I don't really think the question is answerable, at least not yet.

What happened was that more people on the net will (did) vote against a

group failed for this reason and nothing has changed enough on the net to
reverse that.

I think they've long forgotten that episode.  Remember the beauty
contest episode?  I thought it was fairly clear then that Al saw Sam
as Sam and not the leapee.

Now a question.  The actress that played Julie looked real familiar.  I
could swear she's been on QL before.  Maybe she was in "Black on White
on Fire".  Maybe it was because I watched "Another Mother" on USA right
before it and kept seeing Sam's sister Katie.

I disagree. I enjoyed the Alf cartoon (Melmac Memories), but
thought Alf Tales was the best cartoon series since Rocky
and Bullwinkle.  It combined wonderful parodies of movies
and TV with parodies and plays on all sorts of other things
(such as John Henry, redone as a chef who uses all natural

When he was in the blind man, he was temporarilly blinded by camera 
flash powder going off in his face.  Fortunately he had some idea of how
to manage, after faking it for a few days. Somehow, it almost seemed 
like fate that he should have that particular accident. I have the 
suspicion that if Sam were not about to leap again, he might have stayed 
blind. (They are a little vague about the consequences of failure.)

>whined about his back when he was pregnant.  (Does'nt that seem odd to say ;)

The pregnant episode was wierd! Al kept saying "No, it's your body
Sam," but Sam had the baby anyway. At the time, I thought Al was lying
just to keep Sam from panicing. (He was upset enough at being Samantha,
and the worst she had to endure was social embarassment and high heels.)
Now, I don't know what to think. 

>And when he was in the handicapped person he seemed to have problems 
>with his motor functions.  But, like I said, maybe I just wasn't paying

Sam WAS being clumsy during "Jimmy." Al attributed it to the pressure of
always being watched and criticised. Also, people were coming down harder
on him for little or no reason (The scene with the two small boys fighting
-- Nobody would have thought anything of _Dad_ stepping in the way
Sam did.)

You're both right, sort of.  The primary reason for voting should be
that you feel the group would be directly useful to you as a forum you
would use.  A secondary reason should be that you believe it will help
make a forum which you already do use better.

Some people vote with the idea that, "Sure, that's a reasonable topic.
I don't see why the group shouldn't exist.  I'm not going to use it
and its existence probably doesn't affect any groups I do use, but
I'll help out those folks who do want the new group."  This works
against the basic purpose of the guidelines as an interest poll to
determine the suitability of the group to exist on many sites world
wide.

It seems most votes on most proposals tend to fit into the two reasons
I mentioned above.  It is difficult to measure the fuzz, however, of
those people voting either for or against the proposal on general
principles of "there can never be enough groups" or "there are already
too many groups" and such like.  My observations are that the results
are typically unchanged from what they would be if the people not
voting on the direct merits of the proposal itself and its impact on
their use of the net had not voted.

In that case he would lose any benefits of any skills he
learned in a leap as well.  For example when he was a boxer
for the church he spent a lot of time training and generally
getting in better shape.  If he was restored to the exact
state he started then he would lose this conditioning.

And lets not talk about aging - obviously Scott ages so Sam will age
at approximently the same rate. :)
