           Don't remember much about Lifeblood except, in reruns, I recognized   
   Claudia Black. If   
   Amazon High had been picked up, I wonder who would have been Areyn Sun?   
           I just went back to read a few reviews of the ep, and it wasn't very   
   well received. Mostly,   
   I think because so many people hate clip shows. (Whoosh reviewers in   
   particular).  More on the ep   
   when it comes up in the S5 critique.
