Can you say, "check your facts"?  Thanks to good overseas showings, FWWM
has at least broken even by this point, and that's despite shooting and
editing enough footage for two flicks.  Also, QL has a much broader
following than TP, especially these days.  It's more like Star Trek in
the eyes of the general public -- a tiny bit weird, but pretty much
acceptable in the mainstream.

Personally I can't see a big-screen feature as too likely, but if The
Incredible Hulk can get a series of TV movies after years of so-so
ratings, QL should have no problem getting TV flicks made.  Whether
they'd be any good would be another question.

Uh, doc, I think your corpse is still breathing.  QL's in the middle
of a very experimental phase right now.  You might not like it, but
some of us think that it's just the thing the show needs, to shake it
out of its comfortable little rut.  The potential of QL is far from
exhausted, in my eyes at least.

	Ever since DUfE, there has been alot of discussion of whether 
or not Zoe was being literal when reffering to climbing through hell 
to get the DUfE assignment.  We will obviously have to wait until the 
next Alia episode to find out, but what about Sam as the agent of 
good?  Has anyone noticed that the shots of Sam in the accelerator 
make him look alot like Jesus Christ?

I was just watching "Permanent Wave" on USA last night, and I noticed
that in the scene where Sam, Laura, Kyle and Chloe were in Frank's 
apartment (right before the sniper shot at them), Magnum, PI was
playing on the tv.  I know of two other Magnum references offhand:

	"Play it again, Seymour" -- In the cab scene with Seymour, Sam
	  	mentioned Magnum with a group of other PI's
		(Sam Spade, Phillip Marlowe, etc.)

	"Genesis" (?) -- When Sam is trying to remember his family,
		he mentions that his sister is married to Jim Bonneck,
		a naval officer in Hawaii.  In Magnum, Bonneck was
		a naval "con-man" that Magnum thought was Mac 
		(after Mac died in a car-bomb explosion), who became
		a recurring character on the show.

Does anyone know of any other references to Magnum, PI (or any other of
Don B's shows, for that matter)?  I think this is pretty interesting. . .

Thanks ----

Only specific types of insanity seem to allow Al to be seen.
We have seen a few nyphomaniacs who were unable to see Al to his regret
as well as being on the stage of a major heavy-metal concert
with no one noticing him and a good portion of that crowd had to be
insane as well.

We're getting reruns (or something) in Champaign, Illinois:

Is this the proper order?  Fill me in if you have any info;
or better yet post the proper order yourselves.  Thanx!

(1) (Pilot) Connor guest stars;  Richard Moll plays Slan Quince,
    immortal of the week.

(2) (???) 

(3) Mountain Men.  Tess is kidnapped.  Marc Singer plays Caleb,
    immortal of the week, who fights with an axe.

(4) The Road Not Taken.  (Guy from 21 Jump Street stars as the
    immortal of the week, a scientist who experiments with drugs
    controlling the human mind.

(5) Free Fall.  (Joan Jett guest stars as a female immortal).
    A pretty yucky episode;  DeVerraux is introduced and dies.

(6) Deadly Medicine.  No immortals in this one, only a wacky
    doctor who finds Duncan's healing powers of interest...

It seems like I've missed one or two in here.  The only ones I've
gotten around to seeing (screwed up broadcast schedule here) are
(in this order):  Free Fall, Deadly Medicine, Mountain Men.

(Note -- I think I'm leaving out "Bad Day at Building A".  Is this
episode 2?  Which am I missing now then?  'Bad Day', I've heard,
is the Die Hard clone)

Thanks for any help that may come my way.

I think there is another scene in which the kids are watching TV and it's
Magnum, PI. Sam says something about Magnum being on for another five years
(or something like that). I believe this episode was "Another Mother" (where
Sam was the title character)

On the contrary, it is quite logical for Kirk to have asked the question.
Spock may be Vulcan, and may be a supergenius, but Kirk is also quite intelligent.
As an example, at least as shown in TOS, whenver Kirk plays Spock three
dimensional chess, Kirk ALWAYS wins because his illogic defies Spock's logic.
I'm sure Spock beats Kirk also, but we have never seen it.

This seems to happen whenever they deviate from the original schedule.
Apparently, no one told the people at USA that the leap-in at the end
of each episode needs to match the subsequent episode.  Here's the

I was under the impression that USA had stopped airing QL ep's on Saturdays
to make room for Swamp Thing (?!!)  Therefore, I was anxiously awaiting
to see TLB on Monday.  Needless to say I was quite surprised to find that
Play Ball was on instead (not that its a bad ep!).  When I checked the
listings, QL wasn't on the Saturday roster, so, for some reason, I guess 
they skipped The Leap Home.  The reasons why are another matter. . .

I very much liked this episode.  I like the ambiguity.  I like the flash backs.
I very much like the music, especially the spooky music.  I pegged the stuttering kid
as the "villian" ... he seemed much too attached to Abigail, and I just got a sense
he could get a little warped "protecting" her.  But its still cloudy, with the
mysterious mom, etc.  And especially with Sam leaping into the stutterrer.

Also, I thought Al could talk to people in the waiting room.  Couldn't he get some
of the background from him?

Can you say TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME?  Can you say cult following

Listen up.  QL is past it's prime.  It's getting cancelled.  It
(hopefully) won't be coming back.  It's time to say goodbye, and jump
onto the next bandwagon.  I hear Babylon 5's a good choice.

As unlikely as it might sound, I DID go into the episode with no idea about
the EL.  I knew, of course, that there was an EL episode out there, but I 
hadn't read the newsgroup for a couple of weeks and therefore had no clue
as to the episode!  I thought it was going to simply be another Jimmy episode,
and was treating it as such when Connie/Alia did that morphing bit.  As soon
as that happened, I knew what was up, but it was exciting nonetheless.  Maybe
the next EL episode could be kept a secret.  Impossible, I know, but an
interesting thought. ;)
