I'm caught up in the plight of the characters I've been following all these months. With the diminished entertainment value of Nova lately, it doesn't have as much in the way of laurels to rest on. Next month needs to bring more Sphinx and more solid answers. Then maybe we'll be in business. Read Full Review
