RM>> I was meaning to mention to you, last week a new TV show came out

MP>Yes, I have been watching.

MP> *spoilers*

MP>The first episode did seem very much like the first episode of the

  >involvement level is different, and it sounds like there is a bigger story
  >behind how Martin developed his fear of blood.

It's so long since I saw the originals, if I ever did from S1E1,
that I don't recall exactly what started that going.

MP>The previews for the rest of the season make it look like at least one
  >other storyline will be taken directly from the original but it was not a
  >first-season storyline... it was one from towards the end that temporarily
  >removed him from practice.

MP>I am looking forward to seeing where this version goes.

Yes, they will likely just take a few ideas from the original and
then come up with their own stories. I've only seen the first
episode so far. I have the second recorded but didn't get to it yet.

At least I hope I got it.. The PVR says I do but it's lied to
me before, and that was on the night when my power went off
for 5 1/2 hours..
