Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania
It's Good Friday, with properly greyish-cloudy Good Friday weather. Also, I'm back from Orlando.

Hooray, I'm glad you're into it! Do you have any particular feelins about any of the characters? (I mean, aside from being awed by Brad Colbert, which everyone is.) Me, I love all of them, but I think Nate Fick has definitely emerged the favorite. Although Ray is also entertaining as hell. And I don't exactly like Trombley, but I think he's a fascinating character.
In regards to the seatmate, I did actually end up somehow dating some guy I met on an airplane, and it did take me that long to get rid of him. I did not, however, take him to the Holocaust Museum. It takes a lot of hard work to make the Air and Space Museum boring, but I managed it, by God.
I've been on planes fairly often through my life, so it's not a huge deal to me. I think if you're afraid. it's best to remember that very few accidents ever happen, and if it's a control issue, get your doctor to prescribe you some mild tranquilizers beforehand to make it easier. Or buy yourself a drink and medicate yourself. Bring an mp3 player and a book, and you'll be set!

The Iceman is very cool, true, and Nate Fick! But I love them all! It's like they're all totally awesome in different ways. At first I found Ray a bit annoying, but now he's one one of my favorites. I do have one favorite who's not as mainstream, I guess, Rudy Reyes. I didn't know anyone else but him beside Lee Tergesen when it started.
You just manage to make me even more intrigued! Seven months!
That's kind of what horrifies me about flying, though... Not having an accident, but rather getting stuck sitting next to someone so horrid that I'll start hoping the plane'll crash! I think I'd even take some dude who I'd have to take to a bunch of museums rather than even consider some of the other possibilities.

Rudy is pretty awesome. It's the same guy, actually-- that's the real Rudy Reyes playing himself. And Lee as the reporter, yes. I wonder why I forgot him? I guess because he does such a good job of being inobtrusive and letting the viewer be in his place, almost. I love you, Lee!
I'm bad at breaking up with people. Plus, he lived on the other side of the country... it was complicated. Huh, well, if you get stuck next to someone horrible, you can always drink yourself into a stupor, and you won't mind as much. Or spend much of your time in the bathroom!

That's why Rudy was one of the first one's I could easily recognize from the beginning, because I'd read that he played himself. And the way I remember it, Lee was one of the points you used to sell it to me way back (whenever that was). They were the only ones I could keep track of properly in the first episode. Damn regulation hair cuts... I'm really impressed by everyones acting in it, and how the characters evolve. Reyes said that it was hard to play himself younger, because "that person doesn't exist anymore", and that to me makes his performance quite touching. I've really grown to like Cpt. Patterson lately.
It's sad there's only so few episodes... It'll end soon...
