My Thoughts:
I haven't watched this one in a while. I must admit... I enjoy the TV series more then the movie. But that is not to take away from the movie. I did enjoy it very much. Though some of the scenes did seem just a tad slow for my taste. It is still a movie well worth the time it takes to watch it. I found I enjoyed the first half of the movie just a little more then the second half. But over-all it is one I would recommend.

A good comedy with the kind of role that Sandra Bullock does best. This was also the movie I first noticed Michael Caine in. Because of this, he will always be Victor for me.
Also this is one of the movies, where William Shatner plays a great caricature of himself.

The episode order on the DVD set is different than the broadcast order. Mostly it is chronological here (except for this episode), whereas the broadcast order jumped around on purpose.
This first episode is not a regular episode. Everything happening here is a film the characters shot later on in the series. It's a nonsensical story.

The first regular episode (and the first broadcast) which introduces most of the characters. It's a good episode and a fitting introduction to the series.
