Perhaps she wrote her fantasy down and it inspired some really bad sitcoms in the future.

They did this before the dream scene. It was the "impact" of this that knocked Gabrielle out and gave her the fantasy. > As you say, trying to make any 'sense' of it at all, stops it being funny.

The musical highpoints are many - Jace absolutely nailing Dancing in the Moonlight to start with - and since I arrived in the UK some band did a half-decent cover of the same song, but without the disco beat. I'm a sucker for the disco beat. Can you tell how old I am? Sisters are doing it for themselves - pretty nifty duet with Armoria. Odd to see Darien Takle in the middle of a song-and-dance routine - not singing and dancing herself! But it drags just a chorus too long, so not my favourite. Draco and the lads murdering a classic bacharach - best comedic moment is the lads hoofing down the flower-lane - cooing like doves??? Correct me if I got that wrong - is it a reference to something I don't know? something american? Draco and the lads again in the show itself - that is a kick-arse rock number in itself. But completely topped by THE jiggly bikini number gabby wore. Still can't believe quite how hot she looks in that "outfit". Didn't Renee say something about the sexy nature of the cossie was independent of whoever wore it? Someone has already mentioned the feel-good factor of the finale - People Want to be Free - again upstaged by THE jiggly bikini! However, the other S5 eps are looking a bit dire until AUS. Thank heavens for xmas so I won't have to choose what not to watch (my SO won't let me wtch XWP in front of family members) Liz ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
