Reactions and Reviews

I was somewhat dissappointed with this story, not because there was anything really *wrong* with it -- it's just that there wasn't enough of it. I love crossovers, and this one sounded like it might be fun -- I've never seen Dharma & Greg, but I've certainly seen enough ads on TV when it was first on to gather that it was about the marriage of a straightlaced guy with an impulsive flowerchild -- the potential interactions with Blair and Jim could only be imagined...

It certainly opens promisingly enough, with the kind of dark humour that this author is so good at.

"Blair?"
"Yeah?"
"Does this guy have a ..."
"... a gun?"
"Yeah. Does this guy actually have a gun in my ear?"
"Um, yes, sorry, I think so. At least, his friend has one in mine.
Ow!"

Unfortunately, I felt as if, despite the author's reassurances at the start of the story that one didn't have to have seen Dharma & Greg, that I was missing out on something -- like descriptions of the characters. I also felt as if some scenes, which I would have liked to have seen in their glorious detail, were just glossed over, and that it all ended too soon. But the dialogue was certainly good.

So... what do *you* think? [1]
