...then they worked because the big group was broken down into four or five small groups). Whom do we remember from "Survivor 1," anyway? Just the last few: Richard, Sue, Sean, Rudy, Kelly (one was named Kelly, right?). One of the reasons I found that early "Survivor" excerpt so dull was that there were way too many people doing way too little. Cull the herd a little before we go on the air, let us know up front who the stars are, and let's get down to business...
...former colleagues, however, nab a handy dull-witted fall guy (strikingly played by Benicio Del Toro), and when he commits suicide, they gratefully close the case. Jerry doesn't. There are similar, unsolved crimes in the area, some of them dating back years, and he thinks there will be more.

With his flowing hair and smoldering passion, he can at least be thankful this show grabbed him before Jekyll & Hyde. But Marla Schaffel, as Jane, fares less well. Despite a lovely voice, she seems altogether too poised and polished (not to mention too pretty) from the outset. Her desire for Rochester remains something we must take on faith, and her character, for all the gothic doings around her, seems to change little from beginning to end. And that, gentle reader, is something Jane...
