Hello all -
Well my posts seem to be coming later and later, sorry about that. While I have
the usual array of excuses, nonetheless, sorry.
Not too much opinion on ITHYDT from what I've seen on the BBoard. I'm assuming
that you liked it and left it that that. I liked it too, aside from the fact
that I wasn't in it. ;-)
keeping that in mind, what I have to offer is rather sparse...
* Short term memory loss is a true, but rare occurance. Thank goodness Hobbes
found a cure for that becuase he might have gotten a little irratating like that
over several episodes.
* The orderly who got punched is a good friend of mine, Matt Thompson. He and I
usually mess around anyway with the fake punching so it was nice to see him put
it to good use. After he completed the punch the crew gave him a nice round of
applause.
* I also know the Nurse (Aloma) from a pilot we did together. I only mention
this becuase the pilot never got picked up so this is the most airtime it will
ever see. She is a great actress, though.
* My birthday is not in August. Contrary to what IMDB says, I was not born in
Minnesota, nor am I 21 years old. I'd like to be 21, but sadly that year has
come and gone. I thank you for all the birthday wishes, but November is a better
time for them.
* And now praise for the insert team. Any close-up of a prop or even hand of an
actor is more than likely suppiled but the tireless insert unit. There job is to
make our jobs easier by filming things like shots of hands holding notes or keys
in a car so that we don't have to. It's not a snob thing, just pure time saving
or simply needing an extra shot to explain a scene. The example in this episode
is the scars on the back of the ears. Rather than take a lot of the production's
time at the location shooting it, they simply used a stand in and shot it at
their leisure. I hope that wasn't a state secret or anything, but just thought
you'd like to know.
* VVBS'ERS!!! This Week!!
Well that's what I got. I do have to say that from a totally non-objective point
of view, the episodes are getting better and better. As we prepare for the last
9 of the season, I think that you'll be very pleased with the direction the
show's heading as well as the character interactions, surprises and overall
quality.
Thanks for tuning in to our little show. I've noticed more people coming to this
site. So to them: welcome; and to the 'old timers' ,thank you for making them
(and me) feel at home.

P.S. -I'm putting the name of thew show in the post simply because I can't
duplicate the post name.
