You knew Shane's Evil Dad would be, well, evil, because Eric Roberts played him. I haven't seen Eric Roberts play a good guy since King of the Gypsies (when Judd Hirsch - tee! hee! - played the bad guy). I like Eric a lot better than Julia.

I think Laura and Alice are not unusual - a lot of instant passion springs out of the loss of a loved one. I think it would be much better for both of them to leave it alone soon. Otherwise, there will always be a ghostly third party to the relationship.

Glad Shane and Carmen didn't do it. It just was not in keeping with Shane's character, and then we'd see the nasty divorce in epiode 2 or so of next season. Much as I like Carmen, and hot thought the two of them may be, I really like Shane the Dog. Inappropriate Crush #2,067, I guess.

Helena is, indeed, the bonus character of the season. I am okay with losing Dana to gain Helena. I knew her mother was in the closet but I can't remember why. Great actress, that lady who plays her.

I never saw Jenny and Max as a passionate, monogomous thing. They just sort of fell into it while on their road trip. If Jenny wants to go back to guys, she has completely wasted a lot of our time. If she doesn't, Max ain't the gal for her. I would like them both to move to Alaska, taking Kitt's babydaddy with them. And Tina. And Tina's hetero guy. Leave Bette to us.

Kitt have the baby? Fuggedabout it. I don't want to hear all about the dangers of being 55 and pregnant. One baby that needs to be constantly carried per show is plenty.

That was a FAST season!

I want to go zip lining!
