        It's not the "bad guys" so much as the "isn't HE".

        Combined with some good natured ribbing as to what Ethan has in his

        Every time I run across this (or see Ethan shaking his fist), I
still chortle about it.  It truly does grab my funny bone and whap it with a
pneumatic hammer {grins}

        Yah.  Well, what can I say?  Maybe she'll be back in episode 200 or
so.  Or better still, her identical twin.

        Well, there's always the lottery ...
