I think it's fairly obvious that Alice isn't ready to stop therapy with Paul.

Cynthia Enviro's voice was much lighter than I expected it to be given her Broadway experience. It sounded very youthful and appropriate for her character in part one. I wonder if she will use a more mature sound in the second part. I was completely impressed with the entire thing and will have to watch it a second time to catch everything I missed. I think they kept the intent of the original in Defying Gravity. They were both trying to escape from the flying monkeys and guards. It's more interesting to me if Glinda is really tempted to go with Ephaba at that moment.

Episcopalians typically use the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. I'm sure Kevin decided not to risk a simple mistake that migt cost him the game. The KJV is very different from newer translations.

I think Holly was giving the champion a real challenge until he found the Daily Doubles.

I wish Folgers would go back to embracing their pleasant little nostalgic jingle. Ever since they started "not giving a damn about their reputation", I've found their commercials really unpleasant. If I was ever tempted to buy Folgers, that temptation has ended.

I think I remember the same thing happening in the first season, at least occasionally: one of the main ghosts would miss an episode. This was a charming episode. I'm glad Pete is going to use his power for good. He is one of my favorites, but I agree, he has been getting a little too full of himself.

I think there was some symbolism in Jen crawling out of the grave and walking towards the sunrise.

Woo Hoo!!! 3/5 this week. I will bring some healthy oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips instead of raisins.

Week 3: 2/5 Week 4: 2/5 Consistency, thy name is mediocre. I

Yikes. 1/5 for me. I'll bring some zuchinni bread this week made from the last giant squash in my garden.

The Emmys actually listened to complaints about the in memoriam segment. A discreet chamber orchestra just off stage, full screen pictures of those lost, a performer who wasn’t determined to make the moment all about himself. Although I don’t know much about his music, Jelly Roll just performed at the Oregon State Penitentiary last week. Seems like he is practicing what he preaches.

Not an impressive start for me: 2/5 Vampire Slayer Garlic Cheese Curds from Face Rock Creamery in Bandon, Oregon, for everyone.

I'll join in...mainly because I now owe 30 Helens virtual cheese from Tillamook.

Well...I'd prefer to pass out samples from Face Rock Creamery in Bandon, Oregon (also on Hwy. 101). It's a little closer to home, but not as well known. Anyone for some Vampire Slayer Garlic cheddar cheese curds? Bandon is also home to the famous-among-golfers Bandon Dunes golf course (also on Hwy. 101).

I'm really annoyed Oregon was left out of the 101 category. I thought they might have at least had a clue about the Tillamook Cheese Factory.
