I, like some others posting to this list, am having a difficult time keeping
track of the characters from episode to episode. Maybe it'd be helpful to keep
a list. I've made a stab below, please add and correct at will and I'll try to
keep it up-to-date. I suggest posting additions to the group instead of 
sending them to me; I'll watch for corrections to the corrections.
