Hi Magnus:  I appreciate your comment about something along the lines of not having a competitive gene...I feel that way too.  And your comment about being manipulated too. I have a good feeling about the discussion of the 1991 series.

I have a good feeling as well.  I am very satisfied with the rules and very glad there can be no com-parsions.  In the end this is our chance for (those who love it)  to celebrate the 1991 on it's on terms without com parsion.  I mentioned this before but since I was exposed to the 1991 series first I went into watching the original series as if there hadn't been another version to compare it too.  I think that is why I took immediately to it.  IF I were able to watch the '04 pilot I would do the same thing.  And when I watch Depp's Shadows I will do the same thing.

Sorry for getting a bit off topic.  Again I just want to say WELCOME TO EVERYONE for this special event!!

Yes, I was thinking about saying something.  Being crazed and tight-lipped can be a scary combination.   Come to think of it, speaking purely with emoticons ain't too safe either.  Come back to us retzev!!!   Back away from Widow's Hill!!(I entertain myself with little dramas in my head.  That's perfectly normal.)

The post came after my so I thought perhaps something I said made you crazed.  If so I am sorry!  Not harm intended!!

[ghost_embarrassed] thanks Taeylor, Trask, Winthrop, everybody. I feel so loved. [ghost_wub] I was worried my new schedule at work might not allow me to participate to any significant degree, but it looks like it will. I'm in. And very much looking forward to this  [ghost_smiley]

 Well I'm certainly feeling the 'love' around here.  My work schedule has me off on Fridays so it's perfect for me.  In addition to the 91 version being up for discussion, it would be nice to have a discussion dedicated solely to NODS.  There is some hostility on the board against either version (mostly against HODS) and people are trying to compare both versions and I think that is impossible to do.

After reading this post, I've decided I'd like to take part in the watching project.  It will be much easier, as someone else said, to follow through the complete run of the limited series than the other watching projects (which I haven't been able to participate in).  In fact, I hopped over to deepdiscountdvd and ordered the DVD set, which should arrive in time for the discussions.  I have watched the VHS version, but that was several years ago (hard to believe ... ).

I'm really looking forward to "talking" again with Victoria Winters and Cassandra Blair, among others, as well as more recent forum members.  I can already tell that this is going to be a high caliber group!  [ghost_azn]

Well, you have chosen to bypass the rigorous screening process for cheerleaders.....
