W.G.F. is correct on #2.
Normally, I don't watch JoA. But this week I did because, 1) I was tired
and wanted to watch something, 2) I'd noticed Alexis Dziena in this
episode's promos, and 3) the promos implied that something might, you
know, actually *happen* on "This Week's 'Joan of Arcadia'".
Ian (P.S. I do generally like Tamblyn, but she's not usually enough to
get me to watch JoA...)
P.P.S. "Enterprise" was a rerun this week - when it's first-run, I
normally watch that...
