I never really understood the purpose of Barbara either. And, if they plan to do anything with her character, they'd better get the lead out because we only have two more shows to go. I tend to think that nothing really important will happen with her.

What disturbs me: Have we really seen the last of Uncle Junior? I don't recall seeing him in the promos for the next episode. It would be a pity to leave him the way we last saw him. I hope Chase has something better in mind for Junior.

Things seem to be snowballing quite a bit toward the series' conclusion. I think that with all the plot elements going on, they might have been better able to tell the story if the season had been lengthened by a couple of episodes.

We might even see Chris and Ade in a dream sequence!

Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
