Other cast - Mark McManus (Taggart) - Without a doubt, the most boring main character I've ever seen in a TV series

Squidge factor - Talk about fantasy-inducing - bloody twins! <And I said I wasn't going to go there - phbppppt> Two Jasons on screen is a huge treat. Eric is a bastard. John is a cutie who cooks Thai food from scratch, enjoys good scenery, quotes poetry and whistles with his fingers in his mouth. <Yes, this one, please> A few seconds of shower time for John. His face only. What the heck were you people thinking! You couldn't have given us a bit of shoulders and back?! - Sheesh. Still it's a nice shot. (7 out of 10 for Eric, 9 out of 10 for John)

Death - Yes and yes (there goes the Thai food)

Favorites Quotes - <John> "Hi, Diane?" (ok, so sue me - I liked hearing him say my name), and <John kinda quoting Shelley> "See the mountains kiss high heaven. And the sunlight kiss the sea. What is all this sweet work worth, if thou kiss not me." <squidge> 

Video/DVD - Again, try to get a hold of this, or talk someone into letting you borrow theirs <g>
