That;s interesting. I don't really watch much of the USA
network but they do have a habit of picking up shows (like
QUANTUM LEAP) that if I happen to catch while channel surfing
I'll stop and watch.

FG> And in Lost in Space, they spent most of their time

FG>they just couldn't get off.
They got off on the first episode of the second season. Only to crash
on another planet in the third episode of that second season. They took
off again at the end of the second season and then would spend much of
their time wandering about. Given such amazing interchange as the
following between Major Don West (the pilot) and Alpha Control:
DW (passing 'over the sun') "We should see Earth by now, passing by
Uranus and Arcturus."
AC "You are now leaving the galaxy, heading for outser space."
With that kind of piloting and control, makes you wonder how they ever
got off the pad in the first place.
FG>On LIS, their planet seemed to be the
FG>center of the bad-alien universe. Everything seemed to
FG>come out of the blue to happen to *them.*
I could live with THAT. What bothered the heck out of me was how often
human explorers got to them. In one episode, Dr. Smith's COUSIN made it
to the planet, apparently backed by a crime gang back on Earth.

They held back the last episode of the first season and that didn't hurt
the show. And they changed the leading actor!

Look its PTEN's decision they pay the bills. To me it makes sense to have
a strong lead into the November sweepstates.

Well, it was better than that strange HII... It was more like the 1st
and it at least cleared up a few unanswered questions from the first. It
was interesting to see the rookie cop from the first now is a detective
and still trying to put Conner in jail.

I can't make the files freqable. I don't operate my own node, and
my uplink cannot be freqed from, since freqs shut his system down
(bug in the software).
I'll see what I can do about getting my hands on the other lost
scenes. I don't think there are really that many.

JH> something that could be perceived as a face (aside from the
JH> alternate meaning of "a surface"), he might not have used that
JH> phrasing. Have you ever heard anyone say they "looked upon the
JH> face" of something that didn't have one?
But I think what's going on here, is the tendancy for humans to
apply human characteristics to things which aren't human, for
lingual convenience. Whether or not Kosh actually has a face isn't
necessarily relevant to the Doctor's statement, in that the Doctor
was relating an experience he may not have been able to accurately
describe. "Face" just happens to be an easy word to use when you
don't have a better word for the visage you're looking upon.
JH> I just kind of hope it's not a huge buildup to a colossal
JH> joke; such as Kosh really being James T. Kirk. ;-)
JH> But, JK says otherwise, so... What other type of being would
JH> give the same impression without being a God/Angel impression?
If Kosh says, "It's Morphin' time!" we're all in a great deal of
trouble. And you thought the Shadows were bad...
JH> I'm going to go WAYYYYYY out in left field here and
JH> say that whatever Kosh does look like, it'll probably raise
JH> more questions than it answers.
That's in left field??!? ;~) This is J. Michael Straczynski we're
talking about here.
