:>Meanwhile Calley and Saja come home.  Saja is clearly 'smitten' with Calley
:>(but of course, as far as I am concerned, this has been the case since the
:>first week or so of the show). 

My first memory of Calley and Saja is Calley just arriving on the sub the
day before or so.  She pulls out her cycle and goes for a spin to town.  There,
in a yard, is an oriental youth, practicing martial arts.  She bows an
appropriate bow (her very motions conveying to ME that she is quite 
experienced in the arts herself).  Saja (though we dont know his name at this
point) gazes in admiration at her as she cycles off.

:
:I guess I must have missed that part.  I just saw when her and Garett first
:met.  It seemed like Garett was going to be interested in her.  He invited
:her to some shindig and told her to wear red.  That was when they were just
:introducing mila..and I guess she was going to wear red too.  I never did
:see the shindig...what happened?  Did sydney mix up calley for mila?
:
Ah - You first have to realize that Garret does NOTHING without an agenda.
He flirted with Calley, and talked her into wearing red to the SC picnic.
He then told Sydney all about Mila, how he met her in France while he was
away at school.  He went on and on about how beautiful she was.  This was
back when he and Sydney were supposedly an item.  Sydney got more and more
jealous.  Garett made remarks about how Mila had more curves, was more a woman,
etc.  Finally, Garett mentioned that Mila would be at the picnic - wearing
red.  Sydney was determined that she would not like Mila.  When she sees
Calley come in red (I think Garett stopped by and chatted with her), she
nancy , glory and sandy were supposedly going to ignore her.  But then
Sydney wanted to find out what was going on.  She went over, introduced
herself and pulled Calley over to the mike to introduce her as Mila. When
Calley denied it - Garret shows up with Mila, looking gorgeous in white.
At this point, Sydney is about embarressed to death (this is the 3rd of
fourth time in the series and we are talking about week 2 or 3!) when all of
a sudden one of the towers at the doc starts collapsing, some fireworks go
off, Mila is knocked into the bay, Sydney is smacked in the face (she thinks
her nose is broken, but its just bleeding), and chaos rules.  What a glorious
Friday afternoon ending!  This is when Owen saves Mila and falls in love with
her.  Garett tries to make it with Mila, but does something stupid (I missed
what) and loses her forever.

:I didn't know that saja was interested in calley from the beginning...
:I just started seeing that when the two started hanging out.  I thought 
:that calley and that other guy that rides a scooter (what was his name??)
:were going to hit it off, but I guess not.  Oh well,  I like calley and 
:saja together anyway.  

Jimmy isn't out of the picture yet.  The problem with him and Calley is that
he is so protective of Barek.  Once Barek is out of the way (either from
exposure or death) then things should settle down for Jimmy and Calley - well,
except for Saja's sister, who has the hots for Jimmy.  And then there's Nancy,
a control freak who wants to take over Jimmy's life (to the point of cutting
his food for him!)

:
:
:This is exactly what I mean...perhaps thats why they got away from putting
:calley and garett together...because they are eventually going to find out
:that they are related.

If _I_ were writing it, I would WANT Garett and Calley together - would make
it that much more interesting when they discovered they were related and yet
had strong feelings for one another...

:
:>Meanwhile, we see Neil working frantically at the computer, trying to decode
:>some data.  He is having problems remembering some encryption words, and
:>while trying to remember, he flashes back to the day that he gave Glory
:>JT's first book of poems...
:
:What IS neil's problem?  I know he's not telling JT everything, but I dont
:know what...?

Oh come on now - oh.  I forgot.  I have this game I play where I play out
the plot lines far ahead in my mind.  Here is what is going on here - Neil
has hidden the secrets of the rocket formula in JT's poetry book - encoded
in a poem or two.  That's what Baldy wants - some how he suspects or knows
about this.  Glory is going to get suspicious when she starts reading the
physics books and starts making some connections between the poetry and the
science.  JT hasnt looked in the book since Neil gave it to Glory or he
would see the encrypted poems ...

:This was kinda funny...calley came up to saja and he says something to the
:effect "no, I'm not here for you, I have a message for glory"...which was
:hilarious because calley got this really jealous look on her face. :)

Yes, another remark which confirms to me his interest in calley - why else
would he 'be there for her'.

:>At the country club, Sydney and Mila are soaking up some rays.  Mila isn't
:>sure she likes Sydney's plan for Mila to disguise herself to surprise Billy
:>Gunn.  
:
:Why does sydney want her to disguise herself??  I just dont get it.

I missed part of this - Monday when Garett puts the squeeze on Sydney.
But what I suspect is this - Sydney knows that Billy likes Mila because she
is this nice, lovely, quiet thing.  But if she suddendly becomes this loud,
harsh punker, Sydney is convinced that Billy will dump Mila.  But she doesn;t
want Mila to know - Garett wants Mila to come back to him without suspecting
that he had anything to do with it.  So Syd has to make it sound like its a
good idea to Mila - make Mila WANT to do it...

:I think Garett IS acting like a real jerk!
No - he just IS a jerk!

:>Some small talk occurs, Mila asks if Calley has been out to the old Walker
:>place, Calley says no.  Glory jokes that it's because it's so dark out
:>there (Calley is afraid of the dark.) 
:
:Hm...I didnt hear this...I wonder what it is forshadowing...

Calley mentions her fear of the dark to Glory the previous night when she 
asks for the shades to be drawn.  She mentions it again with Saja when they
return from their walk.  Now, the next day, Glory mentions it.  There is a
pattern developing.

:
:I dunno about you...but I am getting REAL sick of baldy...I hope he falls
:off a bridge or something while trying to follow one of them.  
:
No, I am glad to see though that other folk are FINALLY seeing him.  Now
if someone would just see the rest of the strangers around town.
