The critic wasn't kidding, either. After listening to your thoughts, and
rechecking my notes, MONEY, LOVE, AND BIRDSEED vanishes off the ten worst
list. Am debating who will replace it, and will post that later.

and as a Dr. Who fan, I can appreciate the send-up. Mmoloki Chrystie
gives one of his best performances in the series, and the Spike & Lynda
bet over dinner is a hoot. As for SHE'S GOT IT TAPED, I like Sarah's
character very much, so I like the story personally, though I admit it
just isn't very interesting compared to most of the rest of the canon.

Try that with any other tv series, and you'll see how great PRESS GANG
really is, for just that reason.
Not sold on the flame-throwing ring> though.
If we're going to complain about that, we'll have to complain about Spike
kicking the lamp-post and turning the lamp on in AT LAST A DRAGON. Let
there be a little magic in the world, please.
