In the first of a new approach, we took robot remix, and asked it to guide Mary through a series of gutwrenching choices.

Did robot misunderstand the phrase "robot remix" and make this all sci fi supernatural high tech matrix-y?

Yes.

We'll fix it next time.

If you had asked us to predict what would cause the longest episode of our podcast ever - we would not have said it was Jane searching for her mother.

Truth be told, it's because we started recording much earlier in the evening and felt totally unrestrained.

Anyway, we got some gay drama at the restaurant with Matt finding out boyfriend doctor is controlling thanks to yet another patient gay boyfriend doctor had been with. Also, let's not forget, that scene gave us this iconic line: "I've never had a problem with alcohol. It's just drugs."

Kimberly and Megan continue to operate the trade off for Michael, where Kimberly is showing herself to be incredibly selfless. She is sacrificing her happiness for the last few weeks/days/months/whatever-the-plot-requires of happiness for Michael's future. Which, bad news, I don't think this fourth bride is the one he has been waiting for.

Drama and intrigue with Arthur and Craig Field, still a bullshit last name since we already hat Matt Fielding, but Craig is getting mixed up with Amanda (A-card talent) and Billy (C-card talent) making it difficult to place where he belongs.

Kyle threatens Peter to never touch his wife. By "his" I mean Kyle's - he's telling Peter to never touch Taylor.

This is a long podcast.

Well, well, well. Let's look back and revisit the joy that was season four. The guest stars, and there were plenty of them, who left us too soon. But which ones would we most want to spend some more time with, if we could? Well, we'll work through this the hard way - and by that, we mean, we're going to include the Parezis in this little game.

One pairing at a time, we'll come to a consensus about which guest star we'd like to see a bit more of - until we ultimately come to a winner.

First, the Men's Division.

Jacke Parezi v. Bobby Parezi

Vince Parezi v. Dr. O'Malley

Alan Ross v. Dave Erickson

Richard Hart v. Vic Munson

Next, the Women's Division

Alycia Barnett v. Nurse Benson

Brandi Carson v. Teri Carson

Claire Duncan v. Shelly Hanson

Laurie & Tyler v. Dr. Joyce Brothers

We'll relive some of the best (and worst!) parts of season four on our way to getting to a winner. (Or, winners?)

Well, Gail is here, and she is bored.

Jane's adopted, as revealed by blood types.

Alison doesn't want Jake telling her what to do with her career.

Peter is getting stage fright in the same room he tried to murder Amanda Woodward.

Kyle comes off as toxic to Gail, who has no backstory, and we can't disagree.

Craig Fields who should have a different last name because of Matt Fielding already being a character, takes over D&D but whatever.

Sam paints the courtyard, and literally tells multiple people, "It's the courtyard!"

Friends, it is clearly the courtyard. Just blue.

Michael and Megan are continuing their weird situation with Kimberly.

Matt's boyfriend is being a bit bougie and controlling.

Well, when a plan doesn't come together as intended, what happens? Chaos, insurgency, murder, arson, death, destruction, and perhaps one character who sneaks away to plot revenge and a sequel...

Let the record show, we tried very intentionally to be culturally sensitive to a tribe of people who refuse to let us get to know them, to understand their beliefs, customs, and values. Every time we ask, it's just arrow to the chest.

Which certainly makes for an interesting pool-side mixer.

Well, by hook or by crook, these two crazy scamps got a group of North Sentinelese to settle into Melrose Place. Hijinx ensue.

We're dealing with first contact, and immediate regret. This week, we take a little dip into a North Sentinelese pond and imagine what would happen if Kimberly and Sydney rolled up on this untouched island.

Well, we're going through with it. All common sense and cultural sensitivity available to us is needed to get through this five-week series.

This week, we're zeroing in on *what* Kimberly is doing, how Sydney fits in, and *why* it may just be her most humanitarian work yet.

Well, we're doing what we normally do - taking the half-way point of the year to SLOW DOWN the recording schedule.

What's that? You want to know how we could slow it down more than we have? Fair question.

Either way, we wanted to give you some hot, fresh, Melrose Place content.

Inspired by this idiot, we used robot to imagine what it would look like if we took a tribe untouched by modern society, and moved them into Melrose Place.
