ME ME ME!! :) Although "Into the Light" was my fave so far, I don't want to
repeat everyone over again. :) I agree with everything everyone said, I was
bawling like a baby the first time, and the last time I watched it. <G> So,
let's see. I liked "The Violin Lesson", another one that I bawled at the
end. :) I also enjoyed the one where the foster family was wrongly accused,
wasn't that the one where Andrew got to play cameraman? ::giggle:: (I loved
that scene too ;) The only other ep that I've seen and actually watch the
videotape over is the one from last season about the cop trying to find
missing children. I get teary again when we see Andrew taking that child
Home... ::sniff:: Finally, I liked "Sins of the Father" a lot. Even though
Andrew didn't have that much onscreen-time, what he does was integral to
the plot. And I think we all need to remember that *it doesn't matter what
we have done, God still loves us*.

You know, I realize that they can't have people dying *every* episode, but
those are still my favorites. :) Maybe because, IMHO, everyone likes these
"faith strengthers" showing that there is salvation. Or maybe because those
are the only scenes/episodes that actually matches what I believe about
angels. I mean, an angel who lies? Or angels who need *performance
reviews*? Or an angel who has *one* miracle? I believe it was stated in the
Bible that angels aren't given the same forgiveness as humans, they
understand the real meaning of sin and once they break it willingly,
they're *done*. And angels who have performance reviews and having to
choose one person for a miracle is just plain silly, IMO. 

This was all just my interpetation of what I believe about angels, feel
free to disagree. :) (Sorry if this is a overused topic, I'm a pitiful
newbie here :)

Subject: Re: open sets

     In regards to the "open sets" referring to Dr. Quinn being at a National
Park Service (NPS) area, I would like to shed a little light on this subject
as I have worked for the NPS twice as a summer seasonal employee (yes I was
one of those rangers got to wear the uniforms, including the big straw hat).
 Anyhow,  one of the main purposes of the NPS, to put it simply is that all
of the units within the NPS (as well as other sites through the other
divisions under the Department of the Interior, such as the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service) are owned by the American people and therefore are always
open to the American people, as the NPS relies heavily on having a very well
known "user friendly, as every individual who enters the unit is important"
 image.  This is especially true since most units charge entrance fees, (and
many are raising the fees in order to keep up with the always increasing
costs of upkeep) and all of the NPS employees definately want to make the
visitors feel that they are always welcome and very important.  Anyhow the
whole point is that (and I realize that this is straying a bit from the TBAA
subject, but I will get back to it) when a TV show or movie (and lots of
movies have been made on NPS areas, including one at one the areas that I
worked at, which was Devil's Tower, Wyoming where Close Encounters of the
Third Kind was filmed) is made at a NPS site, the set there would probably
have to be more accessible than a set on any other private or public area,
since the NPS relies so heavily on having a great PR image that being
unfriendly towards visitors, could possibly be not too accepteptable, or even
detrimental to that site's image, which is the last thing that the NPS wants.

     In regards to TBAA, being that it is made in Utah, there are a number of
(often very beautiful) National Park Service units, (such as Arches National
Park and Canyonlands National Park) in Utah, (though none of them are all
that close to SLC) that occupy many many acres of national public land, and I
am wondering if any of the past ep's or any future ep's, were ever made in or
near a NPS unit.  And if that were ever to happen to be, I would highly
imagine that it couldn't be a "closed" set (as some of the only reasons to
close off say a section of a NPS unit would be for safety of the visitors and
for resource related reasons, such as for the protection of endangered
species).  One reason simply is that the NPS has to have rules and
regulations, (which are usually tailored to each individual unit's needs and
specifications, and are mainly there to protect that unit's resources and
uphold the law) and these pretty much apply to each person who chooses to
enter that area no matter who they are, with basically no exceptions!  Well,
I think that I've said (more than) enough and hope that what was stated can
be understood.  Sorry if I rambled on a bit, but from my introduction I
stated that I do have a great interest in the outdoors and many of the topics
(like trying to identify and know various animal and plant species) and
issues (such as convservation) associated with it!  Hope that I didn't "bore"
anyone too much!

Subject: Tbaa reunion and such

To One And All

	Ok, I guess it's time I sort of break my "silence" and tell you all a 
little secret.  
	I have been talking to a friend about all our thoughts and ideas about a 
reunion and the "fantasy" we all seem to have about it being held in SLC, and 
meeting the cast and crew of TBAA, among other things about TBAA (the Oprah 
show, Tess's wee dog ...etc).  Well, my friend wrote back to me today and said 
this (and I thought I'd share it with you all):  
	>>FYI the "Touched" set here in Salt Lake is a CLOSED set and we are 	
	not happy with what Oprah said on her show.  Unfortunatley it gave a 	
	false impression. Set visits are closley monitered and passerbyers may 	
	only watch from a distance, if it is even possible.  I hope this doesn't 
	destroy you fantasy of coming down here.<<

	If you can't guess by reading that, yes, my friend works at TBAA.  Now 
you all know where I get my info from!  I've told him about us, and he thinks 
this is cool.  So I have a double reason for wanting to go to Utah!
	I have asked all our questions about a meeting to him, and as soon as I 
know something I'll post it.  But they really are a busy bunch, working 
sometimes 12 hrs and more a day. 
	And like someone else said, With God all things are possible!!

	As for all the other things...
	What...I missed a show with a couple of my angels?!!!  ARGGG  .... :(  
Did anyone tape it, and if so, could they mail me a copy?  I'll gladly pay for 
the tape and postage.
	Thanks for the info, Susan, on the People article, and on the reviews.  
If you happen to find out the date it'll be out, could you post it please.  I 
have a bad time remembering from one day to the next whether or not I have 
checked for new articles in magazines.  By the way, are you planning to put 
anything on the JDHP about the Access Hoolywood show?  
	Well, I can't think of anything else to add for now.  I need to get off 
some other email.  So until later

Subject: Favorite EPs

Hello everyone,
A lot if people are writing in to tell about their favorite epesodes of TBAA and I think 
it's about time I put my two cents worth in.  First of all it was somewhat difficult 
because I love them all but I've narrowed it down to three. Currently these are correct 
as of now if you know what I mean.  1. Into The Light - Where the con man is trying to 
con God to let him into Heaven because of a few good works and the girl who loves Elvis 
befriends him and he learns that good has to come from the heart.  The ending gets me 
crying almost every time.  2. The Homecomming - Delta Burke (I hope I'm spelling it 
right) is a reformed drug addict and street girl. 3. Tough Love - Phylicia Reshad is an 
alcoholic writer who finds out that God loves her.  These three are my current favs I 
would say because they afferm that God Loves us But they all do that.  Have you ever 
noticed that every shoe that I can remember and I've got all but 2 eps on tape that 
someone always says "God loves you."  I believe it with all my heart.                   
 
May God Bless
F. DeWayne Watkins

I have most of the Access Hollywood segment taped, though I missed the first
few seconds of it, as it came on unexpectedly, and I was quite unprepared to
tape it all.     Thanks for the info from your friend regarding the TBAA set
being closed and the people there at TBAA don't sound all too happy with what
was shown on Oprah perhaps being a bit misleading.  Still you are so lucky to
know someone who is directly involved with TBAA, and I'm very happy to know
that you've let him know about us all!  T/C.

Subject: TBAA Admin:  Slight addition to the rules

Because we recently discovered it's apparently not going to work, we need to
add the following rule to the set already in place:

Do not send attached files to the list.  The listserv is not equipped to 
handle them and will translate them into pages of unreadable hash.

Nothing really earthshattering, but an attempt to avoid digests of gibberish.
 :-)  We're still learning new things about the software.  

Take care,

Subject: Re: Maybe Jenn wants to join AiA?

As long as we're weighing in with favorite eps, I'd like to cast another vote
for "Into the Light".  I think part of the appeal of this story is its
hopeful depiction of death, an event we've all been taught to fear.  Amy Ann
has to have one of the most beautiful Christian deaths in television history;
it's the sort of passing we want for ourselves and our loved ones.  All the
angels have important roles to play as well, so it wins all around.
I also liked the "performance review" ep because it a) gave me the chance to
see parts of episodes that I haven't been able to see yet and b) gave us
another chance to see Monica and Kathleen interact, something I find quite
interesting.  I especially liked the ending with the Angel of Angels.  
"The Journalist" is another favorite, since it was a great story and Andrew
had about his biggest part to date.
I wish I'd seen the one with the policeman and the child-is that "Lost and
Found", the one with the missing child agency? Could anyone copy it for
me-I'd be happy to send a tape, pay postage, etc.  I'd really appreciate it!

Subject: Favorite Eps

I'll throw my ducat in for "Into the Light" as well, for this reason: 
I think James goes through the "five stages of accepting God", that 
is, 1) There is no God; 2) There is a God,and I can get to Heaven by 
doing good things,even if I'm not sincere; 3)There is a God, but He's 
a jerk because I CAN'T get to Heaven just by doing good deeds if I'm 
not sincere; 4)There is a God, and I can get to Heaven by accepting 
His love for me and admitting I can't get to Heaven by myself; 4)There 
is a God, and I'm going to live for Him by showing my love for other 
people; going to Heaven is the reward, not the goal.
I think everybody, including myself, has gone back and forth through 
these stages all through our lives, and it was refreshing to see the 
dynamics of it laid out so clearly in this episode, so that's why it's 
my favorite  Plus, Andrew is gorgeous. But then that goes without 
saying...

 Anyway, that is my perspective on the matter.  Of course, if someone has
 a contact at TBAA and can get clearance for us, that would be a different
 story.  I also would be interested in an informal get together with just
 us, although finances would be interesting to work out.
  >>
As much as I hate to admit it, Rebecca and Jennie are both right.  If I were
an actress, I would be scared too because you don't know who is who out there
and there are a lot of crazy people out there.  In reference to the finances,
this is hard for a lot of us right now...maybe we can think of something like
rounding up coast to coast get togethers for visiting each other and going
out to dinner. For example, 
the people who live on the west coast, can get together and meet at a
location that is good/feasable for all to get to/ and the people from the
eastern/ middle and southern can do the same until we know we have full
clearance from the TBAA cast/crew when all of us can get together. Just a
suggestion.
Well, whatever we all decide to do, I love chatting with all of you.  Take
care all.

I agree with Darla. We all loovvvvvvee this show so much that it is fun to
discuss every and any aspect of it. We are not obsessing over anyone here.
 He is good looking yes, but as Darla and many other list members have said
in earier posts, what makes him so attractive is not only his good looks but
especially his love and his adoration for God.  That is what makes people
attracted to each other.  The light from within certanily shines out and
people see it, and sense it.  I enjoy talking about Andrew/John Dye and
Monica/Roma Downey and Tess/Della Reese equally!!!
Isn't that why we are all here? To discuss them, the show and how it relates
to our personal lives.
Anyway, I hope you all have a great day! :-)
