I know Las Vegas sometimes suffers from lack of believability but
the decision of Danny and Mary to call off the wedding in "Silver
Star" made no sense. We are to believe that two people who have
been friends for most of their life after spending three or four
great days together enjoying great sex and having a great time
just hanging out together decide they don't want to be married?
Heck, that sounds like a great reason to do it.

Maybe the writers were afraid of "Rhoda Syndrome". Maybe they
figured marriage would kill the characters. If so fine but if they
couldn't come up with anything better then this they could have
(should have IMO), just left it on the back burner.

Gotta disagree. After string of unwatchably crappy episodes (ie all season
so far) this was a winner.

M and D love each other. But it's not enough. If you've seen the show at
all this season it's apparent. Mary is what kept Danny alive. But now that
he's back things haven't changed.

Totally believable.

Totally believable.
Except for those AMAZING casino security cameras, which appear to have no
limitations.

Repeat after me, "It's a TV show."

Do you have a macro for that so you don't have to type it every
time you share that brilliant conclusion?

Yeah I stopped watching this show because it was so bad. I tried it
again last night because my inner pig told me Nikki might be showing a
lot of skin. I've copied what I posted to alt.vacation.las-vegas
below.

I guess anything is possible in love or war.

Subject line: Tonight's episode of "Las Vegas" (11/29)

I missed the first 15 minutes because I was watching "Gladiator" to
chase away the bad taste of "Alexander".

It's been a while since I've seen an episode of Las Vegas and while
this episode didn't have the extreme suckatude of the episodes that
drove me away, it was only fair to middlin but with a couple of good
throwaway lines:

Ed: "Would you believe she has a genius IQ?" (in ref to the dingy
daughter)
Sam: "No"

*******

British accent hottie: "You married a client...I know you'd do
anything to land a whale..." (paraphrase)

Sam: Yeah, you know I'm a whore.

*******

Ed: "You've always wanted to kick a bad guy's ass...this is a really
bad guy"

*******

On a piggish level the bathtub scene was quite hot and charming.
Pigs like me are looking at the tv at all kinds of different angles
(how scientific is that!) to try and see if she (Ms Cox) is really
pressing naked boobies against that lucky lucky man or not.
Heck even if there were pasties, that's still gotta be one hell of an
entry for "Dear Diary" later.

But at a higher level it was pandering and annoying.

Not as annoying as the war hero rah rah pandering. (To me, it
trivialized true heros)

And definitely not as annoying as the ridiculous digital image
enhancements which we've pooh poohed previously.

I'll give it another shot next week.

Hey um what happened to the marriage in the last series Nikki Cox did?
That was also set in Vegas and she was married to a pro wrestler
right?
