Hello, again!

Well, for this being winter break and all, I sure did get a good
response to this week's S.O.S.!  Sorry this is a day late, though.
With the holidays and all, I'm ashamed to say that the S.O.S. slipped
my mind for the first time.

But the good news is that we've all just seen the second best episode
this season (bested only by _Relics_, which looks like it's going to
be hard to beat).  And Part II is yet to come.

Oops, there goes the phone bill.  Better send this off already.  So,
here are the numbers...

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
