And hopefully the writers won't spend episode after episode with Nick and Juliet "exploring" their feelings for each other in the aftermath, or whatnot. Get 'em back together quickly. Break 'em up quickly. I don't care either way. Just be done with it and move on to the non-soapy stuff. Ideally, I'd like to see Juliet in on the secret once and for all, whether she's still with Nick or not. The current three musketeers need a female touch, after all. -- Jim G. | A fan of the good and the bad, but not the mediocre "Good evening.
