        Some thoughts on watching the 1/19 episode:

     ---I certainly *hope* Shelley dreamt Leo's ressurection.  If its for
real, then that means not only has Leo regained his faculties, but he was
cognizant enough during his incapacitation to remember his multiple
humiliations, and smear cake/don the party hat accordingly...

     ---Jean Renault seemed like the canniest villain in TP until he decided
there was nothing unusual about a strange-looking waitress bringing food into
a hostage situation, wiggling her hips and baring her thighs.  I still can't
believe he fell for that...

     ---Hank's assault 'n battery of Big Ed probably shatters my personal
theory that Hank is a good guy masquerading as a bad one for some unknown
purpose {after all, with Andrew still alive, we don't know for sure if Hank
really tried to kill anybody except for Leo, who was about to kill Bobby}.
Then again, if *my* wife slept around with someone called "Big Ed," I'd
probably get pretty violent, too...

     ---Jean Renault probably did more damage to Coop with his "you're the
jinx" speech than the vicuna coat-bullet did...

     ---I'd gladly trade the travelin' judge, his clerk, Dick, little Nicky,
Lucy's sister, the schemin' blonde with the bad teeth, Andrew Packard, and
every other character introduced in the last 8 or so episodes {except for
Dennis/Denise and Gordon Cole} for just _one_ cameo by Albert Rosenthal...

     ---The corpse in Harry's office was arranged in a particularly
disturbing fashion.  One can only hope this trend continues; the gruesome
nature of BOB's serial killings were a major part of the morbid fascination
the show had for me...

     ---Did anyone else notice the similarity between Wyndham Earle's voice,
and that of Jack {Believe it...aaah...or Not...aaah...} Palance?

        SEMI-OFFICIAL TP TOUGH GUY'S CHART
        Based on TP characters who have gone at it mano-a-mano:

        Big Ed
        |****|
        Leo Johnson
        |*******|
        Hank
        |************| {and dropping}
        Harry S. Truman
        |*************| {maybe Albert is a pacifist, but he*is*an FBI man}
        Dennis/Denise
        |***********************|
        Josie's "Cousin"
        |********************************************|
        Nadine Hurley
        |*********************************************************************
         *********************************************************************
         **********************1/2|

Honorable mention to those who have proven to be dangerous opponents, but have
yet to fight bare-handed:
        Hawk
        Jean Renault

Non-mention:
        BOB {Killing girls!  For shame!}
