| | Kinda stupid but picks up when... | Bulwer 02/01/2007 | | This story has all kinds of holes in the plot, it's inane but typical for the time period. It only gets going when Jenilee removes her jacket towards the end and is wearing nothing but a thin tank (no pun intended) top! GOOD GAWD!! Thank goodness for Slow Mo!! |
