Ahhh, that explains it. When Jerry (my husband) took to driving an 18-wheeler, I found less time in front of the tube, so I started watching mostly the shows on CBS until the season finale. When BattleStar Galactica announced their next season wouldn't begin until 2008, I called the cable company and had everything except basic cable removed from the tube.

I wondered why we're spending so much extra money on those other channels, when my main motivation for the cable is the internet connection anyway. I did really enjoy "The Closure" and "The 4400" too, but their seasons are so short and weren't playing either.

I never even caught a commercial for Pain Killer Jane, or I might very well have tuned that one in. Every season when BattleStar Galactica is playing, I end up taping each show on a DVD, so Jerry can see them when he's home. Then when the season ends, he buys the full season on DVD to get all the extra footage and keep them in order.

Maybe this time, we'll wait for the season to end and he can follow it from their version of the DVD's, so it doesn't hit as deep in the pocketbook, and I don't have to panic if I miss an episode. :-)

Thanks Robin, You can count on me to give an honest review back, because I'm definitely into good stories with decent plots. As for the Criminal Minds. I have to agree and wasn't too impressed on the way they handled letting go of parts of their team. It started out really powerful, and I kept up to the end, but am curious on how they'll do on the new season coming up.

I adore Numb3rs and tracking the stories there, but was kind of blown over with the finale having a main person turning out to be a spy. He always seemed like a good guy to me.

I've never heard of Pain Killer Jane... Is that a show or reference to someone in a show? This past year was the first in over 10 years that I've even watched something regularly. When the season finale's hit, I turned the tv off and it's basically been an art piece since. Until my other half gets in and fires it back up on the weekends lately.

Taste-testing. That's tax-deductible research, isn't it???

Well, picadillo, of course.

G'day Robin. Will that be pepperoni or picadillo? Maybe I can follow your lead and do a series about a forensic pizza chef. He doesn't solve many crimes but he never goes hungry...

Thanks Robin,
Your books really look like winners, and I'm looking forward to digging into one in the near future. I'll definitely let you know when I do though. From what I've seen on your site so far, I am definitely looking forward to getting my first copy. :-)

Thanks, Robin. My corpse(s) will be relatively fresh, although I didn't even think of the possibilities of an overlay. The faces aren't touched except for minor scratches, so it looks like that
might work well. Oh, off topic, I just finished re-watching the first Second Sight with Clive Owen--British police inspector hides the fact he's losing his sight. Have you seen it? Thanks again!

I'll have to check at B&N next time I work there...if it's out, it'll be on the system. I'll check Netflix too. Surprising sometimes what they have on their lists.
I promised myself I'd spend more time at the writing this weekend, but I may have to pull out Robin...and Serenity or Firefly (also good). I have a question for you. How long does it take for you as a forensic artist to get a sketch done? I've got a male victim who needs to be identified both with and without feminine cosmetics and hairpiece and I don't want to get the sketch out there too fast. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion on the show. I'll see when it's on and definitely give it a try. I'm also curious as to whether you've ever seen Slings & Arrows. I think that one comes from Canada and have heard it's hilarious.

I've been a fan since Chicago B'Con and the panel you did with Michael Black :o) It's good to know you've got another series coming out. I look forward to it. It's also nice to find another Robin Hood fan! I could not wait for the DVD to come out and now I'm waiting for the second season!

Hi, Robin. I've been slow about my post-Thrillerfest hellos--It was fun to get to know you a bit there. So, Hi! Hope you're well! Blessings--Laura

I was lucky, my elementary school was small with only one class for each grade. I always had my sister right next to me, and we always had the same friends. I can understand why one of your daughters would be apprehensive I know with my own self, one of us was extrovert and the other introvert. At times, we would change... strange but true! lol

Do you have your hands full? lol Twins are their own kind. I could care a less if I had any friend at all, because my twin was my best friend. Now I am out hunting for friends to fil the void. It's hard to find but I am running into many good people. Kris

Hi Robin, thanks for the warning! However, it's too late in my case. I'm hooked! LOL!

We just switched from 'Cable' back to 'dish', so...presently I'm not as great-on-top-wise of answers to questions like that, at present. I'll have to check it.
