Wow, Renee I think you've said it all. Wish I had had the time time to
sum up
the final series so eloquently.

Yeah, how exactly did she get it on his wrist ??????

Classic Colin.

How someone could be so smart, so together yet so totally socially
inept at the same time always spun me out.

A very brave boy indeed - but then Spike always was honest about his
feelings.

Would we expect anything less.

Loved it. PG was always had great ways of presenting stories. My mind
also
wanders back to The Last Word and TAC for equally great direction.

So true.

LOL. But its still my least favourite ep (not to say trhat its bad -
because
there really such a thing as a bad PG episode).

My absolute favourite episode. Hey, its good to know Im not the only
one who scribbles down tv quotes,for use in other things.

So true, I have found myself para-phrasing if not directly quoting
Lynda on this topic several time.

Me too. In fact the tape is getting a little warn. They better repeat it
soon so I can get a fresh copy.

Couldn't agree more.
