i think 'soapy' would do LOLI guess I must have watched too much Lost that's why I wanted to know more about individual characters so much. I shouldn't put the team on a mysterious island XDI think 'Natural Selection' is the best flashback character drill down in the series. Didn't I just say flashback XD that word is almost patterned for Lost only. To add on to the background storylines, there's one for Kim (when she met her ex-boyfriend) at an local airport. There's one with Molly's, her real dad is in jail as well as a recent one in 'Into Hell 2' where her daughter Betsy and her with a car broken down in a dark quiet street. Those are the memorable ones that I could think of for now.

Now that format works for me, the one with Kim gave you some insight into her past without it being too unnecessary. Except for the nosiness of Kim, Tiffy and Annie the one for Molly's background would have made sense if they were going to have a follow-up story but since the writer's dropped it, we could have done without it. The best was for Betsy in Into Hell 2, I loved the way we saw the same thing from Molly's and Betsy's point of view. I wouldn't mind something similar for any of the other members, without using the exact same formula. And yes K, you have been watching too much Lost because Lost gives so much backstory that I am Lost.

BTW: Why do I keep seeing all those stars on my posts, is someone censoring me? Now I am getting as paranoid as SH...

nyn - i think the stars are if someone really likes what you had wrote. they can rate your comments . i hope i'm making sense.

NN: I understand what they are, I was curious who is doing it. I barely had that comment in, went to another topic and came back and I was rated. Do people really care what I have to say? Personally, I get the feeling that I am publicly writing to myself.

well to me you and roo appear to be some of the most loyal and knowledgeble tu fans out there.with maybe a few others thrown in. maybe some others feel the same way.

Well thank you NN, I know I tend to ramble and rant some days and I do enjoy talking with you all.

The Webmaster really needs to fix the formatting on this website, it keeps moving my "I's" next to the next word without the spacing. I do not understand how they can own tv.com and have that running so perfectly and they cannot get the simplest things done right here...

i haven't given stars to people for a long time except the one I gave to CBS-Admin2 for the annoucement for 8th mar episode. I gave some to Nyn a while ago to boost her star rating up a bit after a couple of punks rated her with one star.

Maybe the writer's could post a little blurb on each character's back story, et al. Unless they've done that already and i haven't been paying attention. Something like a Character Bio on the About page simialr to the actor's bio on the Cast Page.

Now that is a good idea, just a brief statement nothing too specific that would interfere with future stories. If only they would listen to this one...

Gee, ya think with all the work I put to promo their show, CBS could give me a special star. I'll take Betty Blue first and if he's not available, Dirt Diver, Cool Breeze, SnakeDoc and Whiplash in that order.

But wait...this is the Women of The Unit Board! Then better make that Molly, Kim, Tiff and ifnone of them are available Joss. Someone has to give her some insight to BB.

lol david palmer

Wendek, that is a great idea!!! That would take care of the need for some to have the back story info on characters. You are a genius. I hope CBS takes your advice and does that!!!

aww, thanks. i think the actors really like to get into their roles and it would be cool if they could add to their character's page whether anonymously or not. It would be a cool to get their take on things, i think. Perhaps update as needed, and fans to go read or not.

Perhaps the box sets have interviews like that in the extras.

Perhaps someone could post one or two grabs on youtube!!

Wouldn't that be a copyright violation??
