The difference is that the actors that have a regular part work their
tails off week after week to give us a good show that we will continue
to watch.  I don't watch shows just because of a guest star.  And if a
guest star ruins an episode, I won't stop watching a show I'm draw to
because of the regular actors.

No the guests shouldn't be ineligible.  What should happen is a new 
category should be formed for these people.  Best actor/actress in
a guest appearance, or something to that effect.

I read an article once on how Olympic events are selected. I forget the
precise numbers but the event/sport has to be supported by sufficiently
many countries and sufficiently many continents (or other large
geographical regions). I think there are even rules about what level
of "activity" in your country is required to constitute "support".
So enough people over the world must like synchronized swimming etc
or it wouldn't exist as an Olympic sport. This is also the way that
the Olympic committee justifies the its sexist stance (i.e. events for
men without equivalent events for women and vice versa).

I suspect a country's willingness to "support" a new event is probably 
related to its ability to finance competitors to participate. It's probably
harder to drop an existing event than to add a new one.

Excuse me if someone else has posted this but there was a Lesbian on
the Golden Girls (one episode) who thought she fell in love with Betty
White.  I think she was a friend of Blanche's come to visit.  She and
Betty white slept together (not intimately... they  slept in the same
bed together)... it was a hoot!

All of this is basically true.  It was not a secret that the arrow was not
supposed to fall into the torch.  Physics says that would be impossible at
that angle.  The arc would have to have been further up toward the sky so
that the arrow could fall into the torch.

But, keep in mind that the gas for the flame might have been on, so that
having the arrow pass through the gas would have lit it.  I haven't heard
anything leak out that indicates which method really happened.

Well, I dunno about the guy's aim, but they announced that there was
a gas jet streaming up from the torch; the arrow was supposed to fly
over, and ignite the gas. I, too, however, suspect that someone was
standing by to light the thing if it didn't work!

You didn't follow it correctly. Like the episode before it, this week's
pre-credits sequence was actually a shortened version of the end of the
episode.

(In the previous episode, it was Jonathon and Ski on the boat exchanging
witty sayings about love; in this is was Pryor's coffin being loaded on
the plane)

} Jonathan let the Soviet go because he originally thought the guy had
} planted an atomic bomb.

He let Misha go because Misha hinted/threatened to reveal facts about
Jonathon to the Black Dragons if Jonathon *didn't* let him go. Since
we learned in an earlier episode (the one with Judson Scott as the
assassin) that Jonathon used to work for a covert US intelligence agency,
Misha probably had a large dossier on him. At any rate, Jonathon also
knows what Misha had been up to, so they were at something of a stalemate.

} He killed Pryor by breaking her neck. The choice Ski was talking
} about was whether or not to kill her. 

Correct on both counts. Sharon had grabbed the vodka bottle, broke it,
and was trying to slash Jonathon with it. Jonathon got her in a grip
such that he could break her neck, and tried to get her to drop the
broken bottle by telling her, "You don't want me to have to kill you."
She tried once more to cut him, so he snapped her neck.

BTW - The nominations in that category are:
