Well, folks, DSN has started out with a heckuva strong showing, even
if I didn't get all that many respondees this week.  That might be due
to people not knowing that I was doing this S.O.S. as well as the
original, so we'll see how things develop in the weeks ahead.

Still, even though DSN apparently started strong, one good premiere
does not a great series make.  Personally, I'm looking forward to the
next couple of episodes (if I can ever find where my local station 
has finally decided to settle the show).

But anyway, here's the dirt...

Unless you're new to the S.O.S., you can hit `n' now...
(If you ARE new, *PLEASE* read what is below!!!)



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
