7/4/01 - Posted to the Merwolfpack list about the discussion at the showing of the season finale at the Museum of Television and Radio:
"They asked Rob if he had any stories that he
didn't get to tell. He mentioned Missy's ep. He said it would have
been great--and that they were all really excited about it. Renee
mentioned that she and Lucy were very upset too, since they both love
musicals."

1/1/01 - From the Whoosh! review with Robert Tapert by Bret Ryan Rudnick:
"See, I have a big decision to make. I have this giant Sappho episode that I've wanted to do since the middle of the second season. At that time, R.J. and Liz [Friedman] talked me out of it. R.J. said, "You're only going to get into trouble." Liz thought that I was going to show predatory lesbians and that was unflattering. But I've worked out bits and pieces with Missy and I have a tremendous love of musicals. I wanted to make this into a big, nutty, musical extravaganza. But they're so expensive. They're a half a million dollars over pattern.
If I do that, it really hinders me. It's like FALLEN ANGEL (91/501). If I do one like that, I have to do a KINDRED SPIRITS (107/517) and a LIFEBLOOD (106/516). Musicals are time consuming. They require a lot
of extra rehearsal. They need rest so Lucy's voice is good and she's not screaming. Now I have to decide if I want to spend the money. But everybody will get what they want. "

Rumour has it this will be some kind of Sappho musical and that it could be a take on Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night Dream"
