Sophia, she was replaced with an evil double.

Sophia, she was replaced (i.e., she is not evil in season 1), and no, more's the pity. I love him with a pure love.

Sigh. Knew it would be a X-post.

It was almost a triple X-post, but I refreshed my browser first.

Thank you! I think this show is confusing enough without watching it out of order. Also, the pre-show explanation (I'm Sydney Bristow, and 7 years ago..) plus the REALLY LONG previouslys get pretty anooying when you are watching 4 eps in one day!

I was directed to this letter in the SF Chronicle. It's kind of funny.

Editor -- Regarding "Why so few women on best-paid execs list?" (Letters to Business, Jan. 9): Maybe, just maybe, they're not quite as good at that specific endeavor.

What is it about the much celebrated principle of diversity that we just can't handle or accept?

Why are there so few white NFL running backs or Olympic sprinters?

Why are there so few black downhill skiers or dogsled racers?

Why is almost every great violinist or comedian Jewish?

Why is the "Swells" page full of old white people?

Why is the Pope Catholic?

In the name of diversity, then, can't we try to accept that some cultures, races or genders may be a bit better at some things than others?

Can't we just get over it, get on with our lives and count our blessings?

It's a strange stance in that I can partly see where he's coming from, but the conclusion he reaches is stupid.

I can see where he thinks he's coming from, but he's messy as hell. The Pope has to be Catholic. It's a thing.

I also didn't know that almost ever great comedian is Jewish.

Hey, ita? Next time we are at the Hump and they offer me citrus sorbet, and I say sure, I think it should be okay, will you smack me (gently) and then laugh at me?

Sandy Cohen thinks so. "Gentiles. I love your mother to death but not funny. Get funnier friends."

Sandy Cohen's a lovely man, but it didn't take conversion to make Sammy Davis Jr. funny.

Oh, ouch. I don't have any citrus allergies, and I swear I started reacting. I don't know why I think "Citrus peel sorbet, interesting choice." after the main courses we saw, but still. It was harsh. I hope you're all properly doped up.

In theory, it should have been a nice ender, to cleanse the palate and all that. They were just a little over exuberant with the peel.

I'm pretty good and doped up, and the rash is gone.
