Thank you for telling us about Orlando. The scene where Orlando wakes up and looks in the long mirror (trying not to spoil it for others) is my favorite scene in all of cinema. It is also the most beautiful. THANK YOU.

Thanks or the answer -- and a reminder of the context. I find the goofiness so fascinating as a foil to our cynical times.

PS I will leave you with a funny....admittedly goofy AND cynical. My sister and I came up with alternative lyrics to the LB theme song because we were thinking of how really the show is about the crew falling in love in port after port and finding their loves....until a few episodes later. What a load of STDs on board! I don't remember it, but it was something like "Come aboard.....we're infecting you!"

My sister and I watch The Love Boat whenever we can. It is fun to think about humor in the 70s and 80s -- very different from humor today. No sarcasm, for one thing. But to modern eyes it looks goofy. What do you think the differences are? We're the 70s and early 80s really that goofy?

The main reason I hear for Americans not wanting Syrian refugees in our country is because "they are going to be ISIS operatives and terrorists." I think this is bullshit, but was wondering what percentage, in yur opinion, would be threatening to our safety?

I will share what you say with my classes: I am a college professor. Last semester when I asked their opinion, only about 20% said American should open its doors to refugees :-(

You made my day -- thanks! Have a good one!
