3. Chris Stevens
An ex-jailbird from a humble background who waxed philosophic on every known topic and could discuss Kafka and theorhetical physics with equal ease.

16. Do you have any actual information on his political belief
or are you hating him by extrapolation?

17. Well, I didn't say I hate him, but I am disliking him by association
Come on, Bo's a joke, besides being a right-wing twit.

She's pro-choice and I wish I could find the quote with her tortured reaasoning as to why it didn't matter that Dumbo was anti-choice.

20. See, that's a form of 'reasoning' I just can't get behind.
There are a great many people whose political and religious beliefs differ from those with whom they're in relationship. We don't lose our own opinions and identity when we form couples.

I respect people who can dislike on an individual's own merit. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to do otherwise, and smacks of a kind of high school soap opera.

21. To each his own
I'm not getting into this--too many people on this board just want to pick a fight.

19. Yes!
Edited on Tue Dec-02-03 08:52 PM by populistmom
I'd have to say that's my favorite role of his as well.
There were interesting guest roles too. Remember when Anthony Edwards was on for awhile as the guy who had the whole environmental sensitivity thing? A bit much, but a good, unique character.

14. Did you know Peg Phillips died last year?
Very sad, but I think she was up there in years, so she had a good life.

7. i was always partial to the moose who walked thru town
it was a minor part, but he did it so well, and that is the sign of a true thespian.

8. three-way tie: Marilyn, Adam and Eve
Favorite episode was "Cicely" (the history of the town). "Thesis.... antithesis.... synthesis...."

I really miss that show!!

9. Can I pick a non-regular character?
Graham Greene made a guest appearance at least once. He played an eskimo 'healer' named Leonard Quinhagak, who was Marilyn's cousin. He tailed Joel for a whole episode, wishing to learn a bit about modern medical techniques. I think in the end, he ended up teaching Joel a thing or two.

15. I'm going with Hollings, because I think he was the only one NOT nominated
for an Emmy, and he really was believable.

18. Chris
due to excessive hotness coupled with intelligence (who could resist that combo?); Joel for all of his *fish out of water* experiences. They made me laugh so much watching the re-runs on A&E after moving from Manhattan to Ashland KY. I always loved the show before but having Joel's perspective made it all the better.

Honestly I loved them all. I miss that show. I miss shows of that caliber. I hate television now. :(

22. DH and I stopped in Rosylyn, Washington once
when crossing the Snoqualamie pass. There's the waterfall there too from Twin Peaks. The town still had the signs on the store fronts for Cecily. We had a beer at The Brick, but the inside isn't like the Northern Exposure one. I liked the woman Deputy Sheriff. Unfortunately I can't remember her name. She so reminded me of a woman Forest Ranger and fire fighter that I knew in another part of the northwest.

25. The whole cast was what made this such a great show!!
Chris on the radio was wonderful, while Ed's innocence was touching.

Maurice was a hoot, Marilyn was a wise old bird....Adam, Eve...wow,
what great memories!

That show with the Manhattan vision in the distance was ....awesome.

26. I agree, the whole cast was great, I am very sorry that Rob Morrow
(Dr. Fleishman) left the show and in the way he left. It was very unsatisfying and left a big hole in the show that it could not overcome. O'Connell without Fleishman! NO WAY!!

I wonder why they don't do a reunion show?
