Robin:
>::groans:: Greg! LOL Alright, who did you like better, Tessa or Cassandra?
Between those two, that's pretty easy. Regardless of gender or preference,
I think the nails put off pretty much everyone (although, again, a choice
between nails or D/R/M, I think I'll take the nails). Tessa wins out for a
variety of reasons (nails being just one). The voice is another (Methos'
voice does it for some; Tessa's does it for me).
Jette:
> it's that Y chromosome.
Yep. Although if memory serves me correctly, Duncan does look rather cute
in drag. Nails still wins, though.
ZK:
> DR ANNE!!!!
It's a tossup between Dr. Anne and Cassandra. Tessa is still in first place.
<snip>
> but along the way (over a very short time), which didn't seem to happen
with Tessa, he went nuts at least once, kept getting shot at, had this
little troll of a "nephew" who tried to kill her, then finally took a dive
off a balcony, then topped things off by revealing his deep dark secret
over the phone.
Duncan was actively "out" of the Game during most of his twelve years with
Tessa, so he could ease her into his world. And Kenny wasn't a troll. He
was just a child. A poor sweet innocent child who was sucked into the Game
too early in his life and as a result was only trying to play the hand he
was dealt by Fate. Warped by evil Immortals early in life. Forced to beg,
borrow and steal. 814 years old, never kissed a girl (to paraphrase a
song). Heck, he couldn't even have Cassandra (and we know how much she
likes 'em young). Only tried to kill the Dr. because of Duncan. Poor
Kenny. He should be the One. Oh, I'm rambling...
Dr. Anne didn't have the strength of character, IMO, that Tessa had. And
that's another thing which made Tessa attractive. Maybe she's in Archangel
Heaven with Richie, clucking disapprovingly at Duncan's libido.
Now if it was Amanda (non-blonde) vs. Tessa, that would be a tough decision.

TWO Richies?! Wasn't one Richie enough? Now you have to cut them like
worms to get more?
Yeesh. Next thing you'll want to clone Kennys.

It doesn't take strength of character to be an ER doc? ::::
raised eyebrows :::: I take it you don't know many ER/trauma
personnel <g>.
We saw Tessa in some tense situations, either watching Duncan go
off to war, or facing Grayson, or when she was kidnapped in The
Darkness. But she had a firm, long-term, relatively untroubled
relationship with Duncan for many years, and she owned an antique
store, with all of its challenges (maybe negotiating the Escher
Antique Store was enough).
Anne, otoh, apparently decided early enough in life to be a
doctor that she put off having much of a social life (which I
blame for the awkwardness as well as the wardrobe), and was
strongly motivated to do so. I think you'd have to be, to go
through that many years of school/internship/residency. ER Docs,
esp. starting out, often have horrendous six-figure school loans,
and their income is relatively low, so she obviously wasn't in it
for the money. She truly cared about people and when she was in
Doctor mode, she became oblivious to everything, including
TFDIND. Character? I think so.

Having enjoyed Duncan's libido for many years, I doubt if she'd
disapprove <g>.

I think that comparing Amanda with anything is definitely
comparing apples and kumquats. Except that they were both tall
and thin, they had little in common. If Amanda had been a man,
Duncan would have whacked her in 1650.
:::: remembering great scene of Amanda and Michelle teasing
Duncan on their way out in Rites of Passage ::::
Seacover RepCo: I was watching 24 last night (Dad-gummit, I did
*NOT* want to get addicted to another series!!!! They're right -
it's the most addictive show on TV) and who should walk in but
Midori Koto Kent.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (up till 4 am
watching 24 indeed!)(Guess what I'm going to be buying come Sept. 9?)

There's a new interview w/ the loquacious Petey Wingnut online. Go all the
way to page 4 for HL franchise tidbits, at least his perspective on it & its
future.

Subject: HNR Interview with Peter is up w/pics!
Please see the lovely spread Peter has been given at:
http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/
Peter was contacted and agreed to be interviewed by the
Hollywood North Report's Mark & interviewer Frank Garcia
after I contacted them initially on July 14th. Nine emails
later, Peter, Mark, and Frank met ... and we had this really
interesting and seriously intelligent interview. You should
know that although the interview could use a little "beta-ing"
the website's content is routinely scanned by show business
PTB in both Canada and Hollywood because of its ability to
get information and articles posted before the rest of the
pack - and in a respectful, intelligent manner. This can only
be another little publicity "assist" for Peter's career.
This was the latest in an ongoing 8-year series of PW support
campaigns of the Unofficial Peter Wingfield Appreciation Guild
(UPWAG). Yes, we're still alive, well, and functioning merrily! :)
I'd be very grateful if all of you who can take a moment, would
send an email of appreciation to both of them at:
Mark: mark@hollywoodnorthreport.com
Frank: frank@hollywoodnorthreport.com
