IMHO, I don't think it quite works this way. Even if Sam does die
during a leap into 1974, on his *own personal* timeline, it's not
1974. (If it were, Sam would be in whatever state he was in the
original 1974, before Project QL ever came about.) 

It all goes back to Sam's String Theory. His own personal life
string has now been balled up--specifically, so that every day of
his life touches all the other days *out of sequence*. Thus, "when"
Sam dies in 1974, his own life-string does not terminate at 1974.
Rather, it is that now the "death" end of his string, which is
located in 1999-or-whenever, has, as a result of the balling-up,
come into contact with the portion of the string which is in 1974.

You're right!  I also enjoyed the episode a lot, but I think that Zoey and  
Al should be able to she each other and try to "hit" on each other.  It is  
a great concept of Good/Evil.  The only better Good/Evil pairing is that  
of Picard and Q.  I think they should definitely use Alia and Zoey as  
recurring characters!!  Thumbs Up!

I have to second that motion for Mr. Horse.  I love his thoughtful expression
just before he says, "No sir; don't like it!"  My favorite episode featuring
Mr. Horse (what's his first name, anyway?) was the one in which Stimpy was
doing a commercial for Gritty Kitty Litter in the supermarket.  Stimpy asks
Mr. Horse if he is a real horse, as opposed to being an actor. Mr. Horse
responds:  "Yes sir, I am an real horse."  No typo there...AN real horse.

My friends and I have played with that line for weeks!

For the long shots of all three "candidates", another actor was
portraying Perot, not Carvey. He never spoke any lines in the long
shots, just stood and nodded or waved. Thus the whole bit couldn't have
been truly "live" since Carvey played both Bush and Perot in the
closeup shots.

Comments regarding Melrose Place (11/04/92):

The 11/04 show of Melrose Place was so funny:

[1] Billy, to Alison, "You're a dysfunctional Hallmark card."

[2] The best part was Rhonda's new roommate, Carrie. She was hilarious. After
    Rhonda had used her frying pan, she wanted soooooo badly to soak it in
    hot water, but Rhonda told her to sit still. She wanted to soooo badly,
    but Rhonda said that she would do it. While Rhonda was asleep, she
checked
    out her pan and found a spot that Rhonda had missed. Carrie approached
    a sleeping Rhonda with pan in hand and almost scared the heck out of
    Rhonda.

    Too bad she's gone by show's end.

[3] Keith, to Alison, after spending the night at Alison's apartment: Do you
    know what we need?
    Billy, who was sitting on the sofa: Thicker walls.

Anybody else like this show? Billy was so funny in this episode, especially
with his sarcasm.

***I think the show has gotten better. I would love to see Rae Dawn Chong
***(Carrie) stay Rhonda's room mate a little longer. I think see would add
***a little spice to the place. I think Carrie and Billy would interact really

I wouldn't say that Daffy and Bugs were ever 'enemies'.  Daffy was always
out for himself, at any cost.  He was friends with Bugs when it suited his
interests.

Bugs always just played along with whatever Daffy was doing.  When it was
duck season, Daffy tried to make it look like rabbit season at the expense
of Bugs.  But when Elmer went after Daffy, Daffy asked Bugs to help him hide.
I guess I understand Bugs' point of view.  He's just out to have fun...

Why is Daffy so paranoid anyhow?  Apparently he's immune to bullets...

This isn't heresy Dave, this is fanfic!  Rewriting an ending, filling
in a missing scene and resurrecting characters that have been killed
off are some of the most popular reasons for writing fan fiction.  I
didn't have problems with the ending as presented, because I liked the
way it tied this episode together with the Halloween episode, but I
liked Dave's ending too.

Exactly.  He *tried* to rape Sam, but since Sam is much bigger and stronger
than the real Katie, he was able to beat him up, something that Katie
probably would not have been able to do (and apparently didn't in the original
history, for stopping that nozzle from raping her again was apparently
Sam's mission).

But the original question was:  What would happen if someone tried to rape
Sam when he was a woman?

The answer is:  Sam would beat him up or otherwise stop it.

Really...I mean, the line between what's real and unreal in television

there were occasional good yucks, and I think Al Franken actually 
enjoys doing live political commentary.
