The producers and the TPTB have always been good to the fans - when many studios closed fan sites down for all sorts of copywrite infringements Renaissance not only tolerated but encouraged fan sites. The fact that Whoosh got into an episode and that fans themselves where major players in two episodes demonstrated TPTB's recognition and bemused affection for the fans. I just didn't like this episode for the reasons I stated - mainly because I don't like the characters Annie, Harry, and Mattie and unfortunately the modern day portion happened to include them. Hey I liked Fishstix let me at least dislike SP just so I don't get a reputaion as being too easy.
