 CC> Thanks... I really appreciate that review.

You're welcome, but it wasn't much of a review really, I feel like I need to award stars out of five for it to be a real review :)

I think they have a hard path to tread, they are trying to show a show to folks who never saw the last one, and also need to honor the old show and keep those fans happy... never easy.
