   I couldn't quite figure out what her role was supposed to be.  At   
   first I thought maybe she was having an affair with the professor, but   
   that didn't happen.  Then I thought maybe Ava would think she was   
   sleeping with him and get jealous but that didn't happen either.  I   
   agree she did a good job in the role but there wasn't much purpose in   
   her character.   
      
           Maybe they wanted another student besides the chubby guy? Needed a gal   
   with good abs since   
   it wouldn't be in Renee's character?  She's a "Good Friend" of the   
   director/producer/PTB?

   LOL!

   I thought the same thing!    Kinda like the Destroyer in A Family   
   Affair.   
      
   To me the funniest part (not intended to be funny) was when Ava said   
   "gentle" as she was opening the jar.  It reminded me of the scene in   
   AFA where Hope is checking over the monster to see if Xena managed to   
   cut it.  I'm pretty sure she used that same gentle line then.  The   
   tone of voice was definitely the same.  LOL!   
      
           I KNEW that sounded familiar somehow, but didn't dwell on it.   
      
   Overall though the movie was a really bad remake of Raiders of the   
   Lost Ark.   
      
           Sci-fi channel isn't known for it's high quality TV movies. But I   
   understand they do draw   
   in the viewers (maybe hoping THIS time this one will be a winner?).
