Message-ID: <314@trwspp.UUCP> Date: Thu, 1-Mar-84 12:49:22 EST Article-I.D.: trwspp.314 Posted: Thu Mar 1 12:49:22 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 4-Mar-84 09:08:51 EST Organization: T R W, Redondo Beach, CA Lines: 14 Has anyone else felt that St. Elsewhere is changing? Last nights (2/29/84) episode was too soapish. The rape stuff has been very powerful (in true SE tradition), but I feel that the characters have been going through more personal troubles than normal. I mean in the last two weeks there has been rape, divorce (maybe), and a possiblity of murder (Where is Kathy Martin? The weird pathologist). I hope the show goes back to normal now that the ratings sweep month is over. Even though the stories are different I still think the writing is excellent. - Bruce Beisel (trwrb!trwspp!beisel)
