Kirsten, you are currently my favorite character on TV. You bring something to this show that nobody else can, reality check. Throughout the drama and insanity there you are giving a lifeline of reality to each of the characters and making the viewer feel comfortable with the trauma going on around everyone. I would give anything to see NCIS' Abby guest star with you, she is my other favorite on TV right now. The two of you together would totally rock the place! I wish you the best of luck in 2009. And give Zander a kiss for me, he was my favorite for years on Buffy.
