Subject: Midnight Sun Episode
Organization: University of Virginia
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 1992 00:15:43 GMT

So far just about everything that's been discussed about the Midnight
Sun episode was of a technical nature concered with the midnight sun
itself.  Does no one have any opinions about the episode?  I thought it
was 10 times better than last week's, but perhaps still slightly below
the standards of the last two years.  My favorite part was when Joel told
Maggie that under sleep deprivation people were know to do things that
they would NEVER submit to doing under a normal, healthy state of mind.
I saw this as perfect poetic justice to Maggie's telling Joel not to tell
anyone about what she thout was there sleeping together last year in
Jeuno (sp?)

As for the midnight sun, as someone already mentioned, it is possible.
After all, the Earth's atmosphere bends light so that when we see the
sun on the western horizon, in actuality it has already set, it's just
that the light has been bent so that we still see it.  But, assuming that
Cicely is in the northern third of Alaska, does anyone know a) what the
minimum number of non-sunlight is per day, b) how many days/weeks this
lasts, and c) in what month(s) does this normally occur.  There was a
reference or two to it being "spring."  As someone noted, towards the
end of the episode when Chris was talking, it was pretty dark.  Chris
was saying something to the effect of "now that the days are getting
shorter and darkness has returned to Cicely..."  I don't believe there
was any allusion to the basketball game had been "just the other day"
so I just assumed that several weeks/months had passed.  This is, of
course bizarre for a TV-series to do, but we've seen NEXP play fast
and loose with the time continuum before.

Finally, why doesn't there seem to be any Alaskan's who subscribe to this
group?  Don't tell me noone has access to Usenet and/or watched NEXP
up there?

If you watched carefully, there was a child on last night opener!
While Chris is showing Marilyn the engine of the truck, a lady and a
youngster come out of a store and pass behind them. Maybe
the reason you don't see any kids in Cicely is that they would rather
spend money on the scripts etc rather than on extra's...

Last season, Northern Exposure was uplinked via satellite on Saturday
morning at 10:00am Eastern.  My understanding is that this is done
primarily for those affiliates in the Mountain time zone so that they
can air primetime programming at a more reasonable hour.  Many network
programs are also uplinked in advance on the Canadian satellites for
airing in that country.  The show also appears at its regularly scheduled
time on satellite, which is Monday at 10:00pm Eastern/Pacific (uplinked
twice, two different transponders).

Actually there is a Northern Exposure calendar out.  It's a monthly

You are indeed not a victim of stereotype.  The Alaskan wilderness contains
many bears, grizzly, mainly, and when there, you will probably see one or
two.  I've had a chance to visit my brother and cousin in Alaska 3 times
and have seen several each time.  On one trip we camped, laying side-by-
side in the tent, that is brother, gun, me, gun, cousin!  And me?  I had a
knife.  If the bear was going to come in one side, I was going out the 
other!  Don't get me wrong, many people do camp and stay out in the
wilderness for a time without a problem, but it is a concern.

This particular thought DID come to mind to me also when I saw it, but I
considered it just wasn't visible, as Maggie is used to using a gun, as 
was shown in the episode where both Joel and Maggie crash a plane in the
back woods.

Grizzlies are NOT to be tampered with.  They are large, powerful, and
quick to temper, especially a mother with cubs.  My bother's stories
include one that removed the roof off a hunting cabin to get inside and
one of his friends mulled and left to fend for himself for 4 days in the
wilderness.

On a side note, moose are not much better.  They're known to attack cars
and pedestrians, as well as jumping in through large windows.  As far as
the "moose" (the one in NX), he's right at home, they're frequently seen
wandering down town streets.

Sorry about the realizm, it's probably too much to ask for NX.

Not true, this summer we have had 3 people killed by bears up here in
Canada.  A couple were killed in Algonquin Park (Northern Ontario.)
by a black bear, it was a male, it was killed later by park officials.
It seems to have attacked the woman but turned on her husband when 
he tried to drive it off.  The second incident happened several weeks
ago in the Rockies.  A grizzly attacked a British couple, who were hiking
there, the husband did drive the bear off, but was died from the mauling
he suffered, his wife although severely hurt survived.  As for avoiding
or driving off bears, one of the best methods, is to have a dog with 
you.

I wouldn't really expect any of the Oregonian beers in AK considering

But apparantly Steve wasn't done in until sometime after high school,

I can't see that the scene helped Maggie deal with her insecurities at all.
All those guys did was dump on her, and she grinned painfully and bore it.  
She was still bottling up her emotions.  I'd have thought better of her if 
she'd fired up and told them off.  I think she was feeling guilty that she'd 
hinted in her letters that those five yahoos were not God's gift to 
womankind.  Though maybe, after she thinks about their behavior a while, 
she'll figure out that she was well rid of them.

The song on Lincoln is 'Cow Town' ("I'm goin' down to cow town, the cow's a

AS a TMBG fanatic (and NE fanatic) I'm 100% positive that TMBG did NOT do 
"Toy Cows"

  I was watching the Quantum Leap on USA tonight and two of the ensemble for
this episode were Janine Turner and the guy who plays Holling.  I had a hard
time recognizing Janine because she had long hair.  She played a real tramp
who slept around in an acting troup.  It was pretty funny and a far departure
from Maggie.  Holling played a drunken actor who had the lead in "The Man from
La Mancha", or whatever the title is.  Janine played the actress who was doing
Dulcinea.  Pardon my spelling.  I'm not very familar with the play.  I just
thought it amusing that two of NEXP's leads were in the same episode of QL.

This particular uplink is from the production house back to the
network, I believe.  It's transmitted via Compact Video and not on a
network transponder.  *Most* network early feeds are actually for
station and critics review purposes, I think (Mountain Time affiliates
tape the Eastern Time feed normally).  I have no specific knowledge in
this instance though, so may be off base.
