I loved Twin Peaks-- I can't wait for the new movie to come out! Leland was
one of my favorite characters too. His death scene was very moving. The only
thing I didn't like about the series was the last hour, but I won't go into
it because that would start a debate that probably belongs on 
alt.tv.twin-peaks.

OK, a couple problems I had with Tuesday's show.

When Nadine first picked up the computer, I thought, "Here we go again.  
She's a computer expert, too."  Luckily, they didn't do that to us.

BUT (and I mean a BIG BUT), when Mindy flashed back to what she had done
with the DNA test results, they showed A BUNCH OF STUFF ON THE COMPUTER 
SCREEN.  We all know that there wasn't much on the screen (just his name and
POSITIVE) when she actually changed the results.  Now, they're trying
to tell us that there was actually DATA on the screen.  I don't THINK so.

Maybe they're trying to let us know that they screwed up the first time
and that they realize there should have been more information.  TOO BAD.
It's too late for that.  I thank them for realizing their mistake (if that's
what happened), but don't try to cover it up.

Thanks for listening!  :-)

I really have to disagree on this one. They were pretty good at first,

The hottest sex scenes definitely goes to A.C. and Harley. They're not
only hot, but the banter betweeen them is GREAT!

I got the feeling that Jeff thinks Al seduced his mother, Saint Anne, and has
led her into a life of wickedness.  He certainly doesn't seem to hold any
grudge against his mother for it.  That suprised me, considering what a hard
time she'd given him about being tempted to have sex with Ginger on their
trip to Hollywood.  It's nice that he can overlook his mother's faults, but
geez, you'd think that Al got her pregnant without any participation from
her whatsoever!

Poor Anne.  It must be difficult trying to live up to Jeff's expectations
when he puts her on a pedestal like that.  No wonder she's a little 
hypocrytical. 
  
> and mad that Ginger won't sleep with him 
>before their wedding.  (Though didn't they sleep together once earlier on?

Yes, they did.  Ginger decided after a pregnancy scare that they should not
sleep together again until they're married.  That woman's got *major*
willpower.  So, considering that they had condoms back then, do y'all think
she's being chaste more from a fear of getting pregnant or from her
religious convictions?  
>
>Or maybe the writers just wanted us to feel REALLY sorry for Al.  I know I
>did.

I know what you mean.  And I am especially irritated with Hank.  Losing Sara
so tragically does not give him the right to act like a complete asshole, not
that he'd probably act much different if she were still alive.  I wonder
just what he's up to.  In the promos for this week, they showed him loading
a gun about the same time that Al and Anne are supposed to be getting
married.  Since he's all dressed up in his good dress uniform, I suspect that
he's going to try to commit suicide.

BTW, the April 15th episode is the last new one for the season, so make sure
not to miss it.

Also, TV Guide is taking votes on whether certain high-quality shows that
aren't doing well in the ratings should be renewed for next season.  
Apparently they talked the network exects into giving some heed to the poll,
so we have another chance to help save Homefront (bless you, TV Guide).  I'll
try to post the number to call for voting tomorrow.

I vote with you Caz, Dixie's reaction is really weird. (Got that
granma? My "official" vote is for Dixie!) I think there is some serious
denial going on in that woman, even now, when she is trying to deal
with Will's death. I also think she is falling in love with Dr. Steve.
But I could see her snapping and hitting him in in a fit of "dorightness".
Of course Dr. Steve will eventually realize this and try to take the
rap for her.
I am also beginning to believe this brain tumor theory, and this is
probably what will save her from jail. Being such a good person, she
obviously can't go to jail!

         I did *not* "insult" anyone!  I simply stated one of the
         reasons I no longer post to this group!  Pointing out
         something that makes me (and I was not the first, by the way)
         uncomfortable is not insulting.  

         Insulting is what has been being done to *me* since I posted
         this.  Calling me clueless is insulting.  Agreeing with
         someone about the atmosphere is not insulting any one.

         I mentioned no posters, I singled out no particular string. 
         I just posted my honest feelings.  I used to post, I was not
         a lurker, and when I posted, I got flamed for not having

Studmuffinette:  I liked your Cousin Evelyn scenario except for one thing.  
Didn't Cous and Warren just get married?  I mean, like really recently?
And, if so, why would she marry Warren if she were planning to get together
with Cabin?  I'd rather see Cous and H2D plotting and planning together.
The more I watch him at the trial the more I am convinced that he has
something nefarious up his sleeve.  And what was that scene about the
watch really about today?  Was the watch one of the items stolen out of
the safe?  Cargo sure looked suspicious.

BTW, you asked if I was expecting as well as Theresa (who by now isn't
expecting...she must be mad as hell that that baby won't quit the premises)
and the answer is Yes, Yes.  I'm the soon to be mother of twins who
like aeorbics, spinach, and Chocolate Mint Girl Scout cookies.  If they
are both boys, you'll find me in September in front of the mall with
