Actually, this shows some continuity.  Roman and Bo have always been at
each others throats except when the chips are absolutely down.  The 
original "death" of Roman falling off the cliff (if God is good, they will
bring back Joseph Mascolo as Stephano) was full of the depth of feelings
of the characters.  I actually liked the scenes between Caroline and 
Roman yesterday when he admitted that what bothered him about Bo being a
cop was fear he could be hurt and/or killed.  It can be that way in real
life.  I hated my big brother (or so I thought) until he left to be a camp
counselor one summer.  I was never so glad to see anyone in my life as I
was to see him come home, of course, we have been very close ever since.
That's what they need to do with Bo and Roman and it would be more lifelike.

Hit the nail on the head with this one.  What ever became of her father
in NY that she couldn't stay away from?

This has been discussed before, but pancreatic cancer is extremely virulent
and doesn't always respond well to chemo.  I know personally of one person
whose life was not prolonged via chemo and actually deteriorated the quality
of the little time she had left.  She only lived ~3 months after diagnosis.
I, at the age of 15, lost my mother to cancer .  She had radiation therapy
which did no good.  Towards the end, she didn't want to see her grandchildren
because they wouldn't have recognized her ravaged appearance.  I can see your
side, but I see not wanting to prolong the agony either.  Pancreatic or ovarian
(what my mother had), neither responds well to treatment and the ends are
agonizing for both the sufferer and the family.  God, it still haunts me.....

That was me.

I am beginning to tolerate Jesse more.  He's not as annoying as he used
to be and he's much more perceptive than Scarrie.

I'm a bit confused here.  All the major players in the gambling ring seem
to be WASPish to me.  Have I missed something?  (No flames intended)
