quarter_to_fiveI can't decide if the best line of this episode is "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn," or "I'll get you the whole MGM catalog on video tape."
So that kind of whiplashed between a typical mad hijinks RS episode, and the rarer but welcome deep-and-emotional RS episode. Really rather vicious turn there with the bombs and the guilt. Monroe is a great character. I'd wish he'd show up again, but he probably won't. The total dearth of secondary characters really stands out sometimes. Don't know if it's something of it's time or just a peculiarity of the show. The only other 80's shows I can recall ever watching a lot of were, I think, ST:TNG and, er, Fame - both of which had large, ever evolving, ensemble casts.
