: You are right. Now it's best to keep everyone together. The problem is going to be to fix Veronica and our reporter so that we can emphathize with them and, of course, to get Summerlee back because everybody already empathizes with him. Did we officially lose him - how is that shaping up? I thought we got him back. : Xena, Gabrille, and ( my personal favorite because she's just plain crazy ) Callisto are a bit more than Baywatch. They have pulled off some good episodes and terrific humor. One can get into their characters as well as what they look like.I've never been able to get through even one Baywatch.
Babewatch does nothing for me either, and I really only compared Xena to it because the person I responded to referred to Baywatch in the Jungle or something along those lines. The Warrior Princess, on the other hand, I really enjoy. I think the characters have depth and history, and you understand why they do things - even if they're doing something not especially nice - and you want to know more about them.
: Veronica does get hammered and I think this is not entirely her fault. The producers and writers should really have spent some time reading "Green Mansions" as well as looking at Sheena and Rula comic books when it came to designing her character. I prefer Marguerite. I suppose because she looks and, to some extent, acts like my wife, Sande ( pronounced Sand ).When I argue pro and con LW actresses, I'm discussing their relative merits, I'm not proposing that either should be made a star ( save in jest ). : Steve Faust No, no one should be made "the star", the show works with an ensemble cast, there just have to be some finessing. I know I've been kind of harsh about Veronica, maybe because I do really empathize with Marguerite's character more. I'm a long, curly-haired brunette, and I've felt kind of me vs. the world most of my life, and I tend to respond to things in ways similiar to hers - I guess I'd just like to be like Marguerite when I grow up! Anyway, I really think the first thing they should do is break up Ned and Veronica - they really don't have any chemistry together. That also frees them up for other possible "entanglements". I'm repeating my thoughts from another post here, but I'd like to see Veronica with Niko, and Ned with Assai, maybe. Just shake it up a little! No one else for Marguerite and Roxton, though - like em just as they are, on track.
