They seem to be giving Rodney a softer side

Yeah, like with the whales. *smiles*

Do you think any of those new characters will remain in a "recurring" capacity. They introduced quite a few never before seen people. *shrugs*

maybe a few. But I doubt it.

I won't rant because it isn't me, but I don't get the whole killing Carson thing at all. I hope PM finds a really good new job

I don't feel like ranting either. I understand what the PTB are trying to accomplish. I guess I was just surprised at my emotional reaction. Of course I was expecting a little more hope for Carson returning.
