hey dahlink! this is for you!

hey johnny on the spot! *Hey there!* cute smiley! i love it! *Mais non, c?est la verite, In college I excelled en francais but with deutch I was a dummkopf.* c'est grandiose! *I?ve been noticing that your junior moments have been increasing lately. Maybe you should cut down on your overthinking and try a little more underthinking. Underthinking has it?s disadvantages as it is known to result in junior moments but sometimes the simplicity of underthinking can result in unexpected brilliancies. Like acing math tests or delivering brilliant speeches about bowling alleys (although these great feats can hardly be termed unexpected). Despite a plethora of junior moments, I still think you show a lot of promise.* well you know, my junior moments must be coming from all those fake machete fights. im all tuckered out....i be helen and greer will come help me! ill have less junior moments then. heehee! i never underthink! what is this thou is accusing moi of?! *Dorothy? And surely you?re not comparing Sophia with Rigoletto.* HEEHEE!!! oh my goodness!! thats a good one, no silly goose, im not comparing them...two different italians right there. *Are they from Sicily? What do we have here, ?The Godmother?? I think Beatrice would be good at making an offer that couldn?t be refused. I wonder what she would look like with cotton in her mouth.* yup, during the series, they constantly talk about Sicily, especially Sophia, Dorothy's Ma, before they came to Brooklyn. they always joke about silly things that make me laugh so hard! actually, i think in one episode Sophia pretended she was the "Godfather" or godmother if you will. that was a cute one! i could definitely see Bea Arthur doing that. how funny! *I have tickets for Rigoletto coming up in April. I bought them eight months in advance to get a discount but to ensure a good seat as well. How?s that for fancy, eight months in advance, woo!* wow! fancy!....maybe this a bad time to mention how early in advance i got my tickets to go see Carol Burnett when she comes to Austin. heehee!.....dont worry i seem to feel a junior moment coming on. *That?s hilarious. Can you imaging them at a bowling alley. Harriet would yell at the top her lungs, ?SHUSH, SHUSH?. Then she would throw a gutter ball and say, ?Where is Sir Walter Scott in all of this, that?s what I want to know. Where is Sir Walter Scott?? And that yechy Lucy Van Pelt would yell out, ?HEY, DO YOU THINK EVERYONE IN HERE COULD JUST STOP TALKING WHEN I?M BOWLING. I THINK WE NEED A LITTLE QUIET IN HERE WHEN IT?S MY TURN TO BOWL. HOW CAN I BOWL WITH ALL THIS RACKET GOING ON, THAT?S WHAT I SAY. YEAH, THAT?S WHAT I SAY, HOW ABOUT HOLDIN? DOWN THE RACKET AROUND HERE!?* yes i could see that! actually there was this one time where i was in one of my team leagues and we were in a big competition and on the last game we were tied with another team unless i rolled 3 strikes on my last frame and i did it, and my team mates and i were so excited and we were jumping up and down and there was always this one grouchy man sitting in the bowling alley behind all of us, and he would always watch us do everything and he finally stood up and shouted, "KEEP IT DOWN YOU LOUSY KIDS!!" it was so funny, but i was so scarred by his voice, that i had this shocking look on my face and my coach went up to him and said, "will you be quiet and let the kids have a fun time, you grouch?!" then she turned back to us and said, "carry on darlings".....it was a rather humorous moment. maybe that grouch and Harriet should get together and take lucy along for kicks. heehee! *i dont mind harry Potter, i think the story in itself is genius and really playful and fun to read, but as the books got darker all the way to book 7, i started loosing interest...i am just into Harry Potter for Daniel Radcliffe personally. heehee! he is such a cutie!* *Figures!* youre never getting rummy back.... *I?ll check with my sources in Hollywood. Would you like to play the title role or should we get someone to play you? What young actress could play you, do you think?* i doubt very dubiously that anyone would like to play me silly. *A strong girl pirate? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Oh, excuse me, ahem, you mean there?s such at thing as that.* i already proved it so there! you cant trip me up with your vicious words. heehee! *I think you should take your fake machete to Guess. You can wave it menacingly in the air. They?ll give you three or four just to get rid of you.* what kind of a female pirate do you take me for? im an innocent one who only uses her fake machete for good not evil, when certain dirty piarets want to dance around a camp fire with their rummy! *You girls are just incorrigibobble. That Geena looks mighty formidabobble with all those guns. Do you suppose she has a machete? Probably not, ?cause girls or so clumsy with knives, they cut themselves and then go, ?Oh, oh, oh.?* actually i think she had a machete in the movie on the island when she was cutting down grass and vines, but who's looking anyway. heehee! oh were not that bad, just because im clumsy, doesnt make every other girl clumsy! goodness! *Oh scotcho, oh scotcho, the rum stealer supreme* *Once again up to her wiley ways* *No consequences will laffite take* *For difficult to find will he it make,* *The Wiley One shall seek all the days* *But for to find will be but a forlorn hope and dream* johnny on the spot stole the rummy so it tickled his tummy if only if only he hadnt taken one sip to many he'll be gone it he isnt careful johnny oh johnny i promise ill hide the fake machete if youll only stop blaming me for your halucinations. ....heehee! *Do you say that too? No wonder your little brother thinks you?re weird. He has a sister who thinks she?s greer and who lies to darcy. She knows he?s no good with a bow and arrow. She?s just butteringscotching him up. You girls are so incorrigabobbebly sneaky.* i just quote the best, which lizzy happens to be prodigiously so. just because lizzy can beat mr. darcy with a bow and arrow doesnt mean she's butterscotchin' him up. she's being herself, i mean if she let him win, he would be accustomed to being spoiled even around his true love, and as Lady Catherine DeBourgh says, "she right for you darcy, you need someone who wont be afraid to stand up to you...i think you've found her." she's quite right you know! otherwise, who else would stand up to Darcy? *It?s cause I want you to make an historical speech (not hysterical) that will be quoted extensively by everybody in the whole world for all time. That?s not asking too much, is it?* oh gee, let me think..... *He drools all the time over her memory. The memory of Lucy Van Pelt, the poster girl for all fussbudgets, would make anyone drool?drool in agony.* well i dont think Lucy Van Pelt would succomb to anyone or anything, that is unless Shroeder finally declares his love for her so she can melt in his arms and she wont shout LIKE THIS! anymore....its all for the better, if Shroeder and her get together, she wont be so annoying hopefully anymore. *Here, take my handkerchief.* dont ever lend me your hanky unless you want it wet when i give it back to you. every hanky frankie has lent me, i have used to much when watching my Paula and Smithy, that it never dried b/c i cry so much. heehee! *And about that little cottage. Where?d it come from anyway? Oh, I forgot, we have to put a nice little country cottage out of nowhere because this is such a sappy movie. Who was living there anyway at the end of the movie? They should have come out the door, and said, ? GO ON, GET OUT OF HERE, THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, GO KISS EACH OTHER AND BE SAPPY SOMEWHERE ELSE, GO ON, BEAT IT. THIS IS MY COUNTRY COTTAGE NOW, OFF WITH YOU, YA BIG SAPPIES!!? (There should be a sign in the yard that says, ?The Van Pelt Residence.?)* didnt you know that it was a magical cottage and they made it just appear there for them, b/c its a happily ever after sort of thing...well until disatster strikes then, but that doesnt come yet! lucy van pelt will never grabe their special little cottage away from them! why the thought of that happening is treachorous! *Maybe there will be an assignment to give a speech about one of your favorite persons in history. It doesn?t seem altogether unlikely that that might happen. Then you could give a brilliant speech about Greer. Tell me about your bowling. Have you ever bowled a 200 game? I am terrible at that drat game. I think I bowled a 149 once.* one could only hope! heehee! i dont think we have another speech to give though, next week is the last week of the semester and i got a really good grade on my other speech, so im good! my bowling? i have been in lots of leagues with teams and some by myself. i liked it best with my team though, b/c it was more fun that way. my best team was called A Lady and the Gentz, b/c i was the only girl on the team. we won first place in the league that year. my highest game was a 210, by sheer luck and chance. but i usually bowl a straight throw, and you have better chances of getting strikes with a curve so im gradually trying to place a hook in my throw and it isnt easy. oy! but its fun. by the way a 149 is a good score, so dont you think youre terrible for a second! *So maybe I?m back now from my long voyage on which I?ve been plunderin? the weak and easy and generally wreaking havoc on the high seas in the inimitable laffite style but now you will excuse me while I peruse the booty reaped from those who befall the fate of great pirates of the sea and who are now bereft of their possessions but always shall laffite while drinking his rum and counting his doubloons keep his eye here in the hope of a few rejoinders from that greer girl extraordinaire and hoping ever earnestly that it will be soon forthcoming and not as gald dang long in arriving as this one took for which laffite offers his most humble apologies.* where did you go on this fantastic journey? Madagascar? ooh where? did you bring back any treasure? i bet you didnt find the rummy yet. *Adieu, chere amie, jusqu?a la prochaine fois.* adieu johnny on the spot!

*Heavens to murgatroyd de burgos, greer- and helengirl supreme, where do you find this stuff! So now you think this proves that girls make good pirates. Humph! What it does show is that they make cute pirates. Helen really looks good in these pictures. Cute smile but sorry, that attempt to look fierce is sadly lacking. Laffite and his band of pirates extraordinaire would find this light work. By the way, that is not a fake sword. It's a real sword and if you look closely it's stuck in Helen's leg. She's trying to be cool about it but you can see it hurts like the dickens. Boy, is she gonna tan his hide when they get home.* hey swasheroo!!! oh you know me, i find these things in the strangest places. heehee! you have to admit helen looks mighty gorgeous in a pirate's outfit! yes i do think it proves it! if geena davis and helen have pirate's outfits on, that must mean they are pirates! correct me if im worng of course. heehee! wow! if thats not a fake sword, you got me on that one. if it is real, then she looks a little too happy about it. heehee! but then again she's tough remember? by the way, thats her nephew. ill get to you message right after my math class okay. have a good day until then...and even after that, but im not giving you the rummy! heehee! theresa

okay ang and michaela! i know what it means....now how do you promounce it? heehee!

*Well, you know, he was the lizard king.* he certainly was!! and my mother will never let me forget it. AAHHHH!! heehee! no really i do love jim Morrison, i just like to pick on her obssession about him. heehee! *wasnt Val Kilmer in it? i think i have a while ago, but i didnt really like it, b/c of all the drug usage in it, but i thought it was a greatly acted movie on val's part. he did a great job.* *Reportedly, he also did his own singing, and that's not bad at all, because it's hard to tell his voice apart from Morrison's (at least it was for me).* yes momma told me he did his own singing in it. i think he also did his won singing in Top Secret! he can do wonders with trying to make his voice sound like smeone else's. i have always loved Val Kilmer!....right frankie!...frankie thinks he's mel torme....but we have no way of knowing he's not mel torme! heehee! *they even tricked me by hiding below my figure in the game and when i looked down i freaked out and they shot me....it was actually really funny, b/c my cousins are so hilarious.* *So you got pwned?* what does that mean michaela? if it means shot and killed gruesomely then yes! heehee! at ne point they shot my legs off and it was soooo disgusting to see on that game....YUCKY!! and he did it on purpose too!!! thats my cousin for ya. heehee! but i love him anyway. *It sounds like fun, I definitely must look into getting a 360 at some point.* it was fun, just make surely you dont have a bunch of boys playing against you... hey chris!! *I watched the documentary that came with the DVD and the cop that Tennison is based on told her to never let them see you cry. She meant if the men saw her she would be considered too soft and by extension not worth being the boss. That carried over to everything.* oh well that makes a lotta sense. i havent gotten around to watching that documentary yet, im going to soon though, so maybe ill get more. heehee! okay i think i understand her character more so now, at least the emotional stae of it anyway. she couldnt really show any of them too much emotions, b/c they would have looked to her differently than they did, and they already thought she wasnt right for the job in the first place....she surely showed them! and im glad, someone had to teach them! did you like the first one more so than the 7th one? *BTW, thanks for the pictures.* youre welcome! i love seeing how her appearance transformed from the first one to the last one.

*I really like that song a lot, Theresa, although maybe I like this one just a wee bit more:* "Waiting for the sun" is a great song too! my mother was in looooove with the lead singer of the Doors, Jim Morrison, when she was a little girl and she still thinks he's one of the greatest. she's so obssessed with them, so i know pretty much the majority of their stuff too. heehee! *Did you ever watch Oliver Stone's The Doors ? That was a wild film, imho.* wasnt Val Kilmer in it? i think i have a while ago, but i didnt really like it, b/c of all the drug usage in it, but i thought it was a greatly acted movie on val's part. he did a great job. *As for the X-Box, I really do want to get it, eventually, cause there's some games I wanna play in it, but no point in buying it until I have more time for gaming, and the prices might drop even further after Christmas.* we also played the world War 1 and 2 games on X-Box that day and they are so lifelike with the blood and my cousins murdered me so many times, i lost count. im not very good at that game, heehee, but it was fun to hunt them down, which i didnt get to do very often, b/c they are better at it than i am...they even tricked me by hiding below my figure in the game and when i looked down i freaked out and they shot me....it was actually really funny, b/c my cousins are so hilarious.

hey chris! look how jane tennison transforms from the first Prime Suspect, to the last one... PS 7 - the last act behind the scenes part of the movie PS 6 - the last witness PS 5 - errors of judgement PS 4 - the scent of darkness PS 4 -the inner circles PS 4 - the lost child PS 3 PS 2 PS 1

*Glad to hear that. My Thanksgiving was awesome, too. And Black Friday wasn't bad, either. Got a new 46" Sony Bravia for my bedroom.* im glad to hear it! *I've a Wii right now but might get an X-Box 360 one of these days... haven't really had much time for gaming lately, so I am not in a hurry. But the Guitar Hero sure looks like it must be fun. I'd love a game that had songs from The Doors.* hey i played to this song on X-Box, its my favorite Doors song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzKLvxUhLlM&feature=related they have something similar for Wii too, if you cant get X-Box. its called Rock Band, and its suppose to be better, my little brother wants that game for christmas. it not only has guitars, but a micorphone, drums and a few other things too. so you cqan have more fun!

chris! *I did like it. Everyone's life is so complicated and sad. For all the hard work Tennison did and success she was able to attain she is ultimately pretty unhappy. She feels guilt. She feels bad about her dad, nieces and sister and I think the way things turned out. She was always a drinker of sorts but I think this all dove her to the degree she went. She is old (retiring) and alone.* i think she needed to retire, i know she didnt want to, but i think it was the best thing for her, especially for her body. i dont think she could have taken anymore disappointment than what she got in this last one. granted she is extremelt tough and i know she could deal with it, but could she accept everything? its sort of an odd question, but i keep asking myself that. i think she just needed someone to love.....i thought she came prety close to that guy in number 6 that helped her out. what do you think? werent you expecting anything to happen between them? i get so flustrated when i could have seen them be happily married! i felt so sad about her feeling guilty about her daddy. she shouldnt have blamed herself for as much as she did. it wasnt her fault. he knew she loved him a lot, she just had trouble showing it to the maximum limit. *I think the relationship with the young girl grows out of a respect for the girl initially and I think her own child would have been about her age if she had kept it. The girl is filling a void.* i had never thought that if she kept the baby, it would have been that old. i guess it would have been that old. wow! but i wanted tosee their relationship blossom into a special thing, unfortunately it took a wrong turn. poor Helen! *Jane made choices. To not keep the baby was one. She presents it matter-of-factly but I donn't think she feels that way.* i thought she handled that part of her life rather well, but she hid her emoitions about having the abortion too well. i would have at least told someone to make myself feel better, i mean didnt you just see the sadness in her eyes when she gave up the baby? she was in tears! but when noone was looking of course. *It was a very well done show, as are they all. She is a great character. Too bad it couldn't have ended a little happier for her.* thats what i was hoping for before i watched it! but then all of the other people i know who had seen it told me not to expect anything happy, so for that i was a little disappointed, b/c this isnt my average movie that i love to sit and watch and cry forthe happiness, but i n spite of all of that, i loved it, b/c of the way she presented herself as the character Jane Tennison.

hey johnny on the spot!!! looky i found proof of female pirates!!! go helen! she was at the Pirates of the Carribean Premier in 2006. with part of her family...look at the little boy, he's protecting helen with his fake sword! see im not the only one with a fake weapon!

hey michaela! how was your thanksgiving!? mine was awesome! me and my cousins all tried to beat each other on one of their X-Box machines. heehee! it was a blast! i love that guitar hero game where you have to match the notes in order for the music to play. its like that dancing revolution game where you have to step on the arrows, but its with your hands......even the adults were getting tickled with the game trying to beat it! HEY EVERYONE!!!!! i miss everyone so badly! i havent been around for a while, b/c my family has been in town for a while and i havent had a computer to get on, so sorry about that, but i read everyone's thanksgiving experiences! it looks like everyone had a fun time! happy late turkey day!!!!

hey frankie kissy face furter! *I've been off that list for years. I'm a misfit toy. But there are those who are far more naughty than nice than even me... like BUTTERSCOTCHGREER. That girl is in T-R-O-U-B-L-E.* i heard that!!! yes you are a misfit toy, and i ghope santa recognizes your want to ruin every other toys' lives! heehee!maybe he can change your grumpy chip to a happy one. and how am i in trouble now? hey chris!! *Just finished "Prime Suspect 7." Has there been a sadder situation for all involved. You're right that at its most basic it is a terrific cop story. It does a first rate job of keeping you guessing. I was not completely surprised at who did it but it does not spoil the experience.* *Lives ruined all around. Not just the two primary families but even Jane's chance at new one is met with hurdles that seem they will be hard to overcome. Her family relationships seem at an impasse. Her chance at a friendship is stopped. It was so right for her to go home early. No happy endings here. No neatly packaged summation of the series. Just the sadness of not knowing what tomorrow will hold. No one to call. No where to go. Another day to struggle through.* i was!!! i was really surprised at who did it! but i knew something was going on with her, i knew she lied about jane making her get drunk, b/c she never would have done that to a child or a teenager. she cared too much about their new friendship. i literally could not stop crying during this movie, b/c everything kept happening at once. she finally made a friend out of that guy who was basically her competition in the first couple Prime Suspects and then to see what happened to him was terrible. she had someone to relate to and to talk to about certain things and it was just so emoitonal. i thought the conversation about jane's abortion with the teenage girl was interesting and emotional. i just hate that jane had one personally and then when the girl found out. i really think jane wanted it. it just makes you want to feel so bad for jane, but you shouldnt. you just want to go up to her and give her a big hug and say that everything will be okay. i thought this was made so briliantly though, all of everything that happened made it one of the best police stories of all time for me. she was just so convincing that it just makes you feel like you understand her, which was a bit weird. all in all did you like it? what was your view on the relationship between helen and the girl?

ANGIE!!!! you cant have my MELODY! so stop your thinking right there! he's mine, i saw him first!....but thank you for those pictures, you just brightened up my day, just what i needed after almost passing out from being so nervous for my speech this afternoon. my jaw dropped about five feet and i almost fell off my chair from drooling over them! MY MELODY!!!! nobody can have him! heehee! you can have him from The Westerner!

*There are many intriguing aspects to "Prime Suspect." First it's a good cop story. Everything flows after that. Then there is her quest to overcome to male dominated management rankings. Her passion, dedication and vulnerability make her a most interesting character. Her work fulfills her. Her private life cannot be what she wants so she becomes her work.* thats one of the reasons i always cried, b/c her work fullfilled her life, and she couldnt have a life of her won. it just made me so sad. i mean, i wanted her to get with a man so badly and for them to stay together! when you see the 7th one, chris, youll see why. i love how she handled her emotions though. she was really emotional in her own way, but not many people understood her, and she did a great job of hiding her emotions at the right times. but i think she neded to release some of the grief she had, but she didnt wish to tell anyone of this, and i think i understand why partly. *It is a similar situation with "Cracker." First rate stories with a great lead. Robbie Coltrane is the biggest SOB but the smartest guy around. The interviews with the suspects are worth watching on their own. He is a deeply flawed man who is constantly screwing up his family life but he finds some kind of refuge in his work. He's more the bull in a china shop guy. He'd rather drink and gamble then anything but when the local ppolice come calling everyone had better look out.* it looks like a very interesting series and i just checked some of the episodes out on youtube. i havent watched a full one yet, but it looks very interesting! thank you for the reccomendation! *Among the best of that series was "To Be A Somebody." Very intense and partly based on a true story.* ill have to look that one up! Michaela! *Thank you Theresa.* well you cant get a very full impression of it until you watch a whole one, but i thought that might help your images. heehee! *Well the series does look pretty exciting from looking at that video, and what a great range HM has, from playing queens to... just about anything you can imagine.* thats just about right! i have seen Helen play a more diversity of characters than you can imagine! Did you know Helen has played a Queen 6 whole times?! In: The Queen (2006), "Elizabeth I" (2005), The Prince of Egypt (1998), The Snow Queen (1995), The Madness of King George (1994), and Caligola (1979). talk about wonderful! hey sis! *Hey Sis! Did you see the stuff I posted in the Gary thread about the Life mag photo archive online? The first few pics I found where all from Along Came Jones and they were ones like the one below that we haven?t seen before. Man, I might just have to steal Melody Jones away from you. You know older cowboy Gary is my little heart?s desire . Here?s the link again. http://images.google.com/images?q=gary+cooper&q=source%3Alife* hold that thought, im holding in my big emotions for the Gary thread......all i can say is that my mouth dropped a few feet! jackie! *FF- I liked Prime Suspect firstly because of the "first female in a position of power" viewpoint. It is a particularly realistic description of that circumstance, and I found it to be fascinating. But it doesn't stop there- the same things that make Helen Mirren so able to deal with her job and eventually take command, are the same things that make her a flawed character, unable to deal with certain situations in the rest of her life. I realize I can't say more than this without giving away plot. Anyway, I think you would like it.* thats the main reason my mother even watched Prime Suspect with me...she saw that Jane tennison was the big boss in power and that isnt too often and she was the first! momma is very for strong women in movies in any case and i happen to agree with that so i grew up appreciating any strong women characters in the movies.

hey michaela watch this video real quick. heehee! its the acting for a lot of the part. its very convincing and makes you think with every scene. toward the end of the video, it gets interesting with that scene. i dont like that scene, but it tells a lot.

hey dahlink!!! i caught Whipsaw this morning before i went to school! i had been wanting to see this Myrna Loy movie so badly, i had seen it a long time ago, and wanted to record it this morning, but missed the first few minutes. banana oil! heehee! i really liked it, but i always liked Myrna more in her funny cute movies where she was in the screwball parts like The Thin Man and Mr. Blandings. but i thought she was so beautiful in this with spence, and momma watched some of it with me and said out loud....."myrna's a bad guy! she never plays a bad guy!" i couldnt help but giggle lots to that comment! she never failes when it comes to her funny little hats in just about every one of her movies. heehee! i did like the mysteriousness she put off to the audience in the movie though! she does that so well, b/c of her face shape and her eyes.

*Ooh, Scotchie, Cracker is really good- it's fascinating in the same way that Prime Suspect is. I would say that Prime Suspect is a wee bit better, but they are both really solid, interesting shows with flawed lead characters.* okay i looked it up on IMDB.com and now i think i recognize it a bit. i think ive seen a few episodes of it. but i dont remember much of it. maybe i should try looking some more of those episodes up...i really like mystery/crime shows...i really liked that show that was only on for one season and then they stopped it, called "Raines" with Jeff goldblume as the lead cop/detective, who could talk to the people who were murdered, when they were dead. it was kinda freaky, but he made it humorous sometimes. i loved his style, i just wish they had him on for more seasons. i looove Hart to hart, and Murder, She Wrote, and Perry Mason and all those like that, so Prime Suspect came really well for me too. i just found it very unnerving that the series was soooo graphic with the blood and the dead bodies, but Prime Suspect cant really be compared with those, b/c its totally different in its own high category.

*Awww, you didn't buy it when it came out on DVD? I have a collection full of all Disney classics (not the straight-to-video sequels, tho). And yes, Chip was such a darling!!!* no, my parents got it, but i didnt, but i recently found it at this buy, sell, and trade movie store for a reasonable price and it was the only copy they had so i had to get it. heehee!

hey chris! *I timed my Netflix list so that we could get it for this weekend. I was mad at myself for missing it when it came on PBS as I have loved the whole series. We are looking forward to it. My wife is funny when there is a multiple part show in that she likes to start the second one as soon as we finish the first.* i am the same way as your wife, i hate not having a second part to a movie when i can only see the first part. when i first got really into Helen Mirren, i watched the first Prime suspect without knowing it was a two parter, Cinemaven recomended it to me. when the first part was over, i became hysterical and needed to put the second part in b/c i wanted to know what happened next! when i finished the first one i went crazy with this series and watched all of them! *Have you seen "The Lost Child" of the "Prime Suspect"? That one nearly did me in. Some of the finest acting I've seen on a television production. Recently when we went through the "Cracker" series she wanted to start all over again as those are that good as well.* The Lost Child was a very emotional episode for me, i think the second most emotional one of the whole series, and if you think you fell apart when you saw that one, wait till you see this last one. holy joe! youre right about the acting, it is just about some of the finest acting i have ever seen in television history. The Lost Child was emotional to me, b/c i am so attatched to children and what happened in that one really showed how helen's character Jane Tennison showed her true colors for me. she had her own attatchment to children, b/c of what she did; im not going to say b/c other people who havent seen the series dont want it to be spoiled, but i think you know what im talking about. i think those two Prime Suspects had me in tears the entire time, which made me uncomfortable, yet i understood what was happening and why. whats the "Cracker" series? is it as good as Prime Suspect? theresa Message was edited by: butterscotchgreer
