- Quotes
[Vanessa has asked Sam about one very bright star]
Dr. Sam Beckett: That's not a star, that's a planet. That's Venus. Named for the goddess of love, born from the sea. A reminder to all men's souls that... true love is the only love worth having.
Vanessa Foster: That's really beautiful.
Dr. Sam Beckett: Yeah, it is.

Featured review
One of the worst, most boring episode with annoying Brooke Shields playing herself
Storyline? Contrived. Setting? Bad. Throwback to Blue Lagoon? Boring! Brooke Shields? Awful! Scott Bakula? Playing the emasculated wimp, as usual. Trying to pass yet another "romance novel" type script as QL episode? Unforgivable.
Goof: it's their "only water", the water is pristine (except that Brooke peed in it) and then they tussle in said pee-water and all of a sudden it's all brown and murky? Really? That's what they were going to be drinking?
Nothing much happening. This episode was excurtiating to watch the first time, so why do I have it i the background? Because I'm waiting to see what Al is gonna wear next. Few redeeming qualities, other than Al doing his thing, well-dressed as usual, courtesy of the ever talented, Jean-Pierre D'Orleac whose last name ought to take an apostrophe, as I spelled it. His talent is that regal!
I never noticed how annoying this character of Sam Beckett was back when, and how weak a character he is played by Bakula. The guy hasn't aged very well, PS! I caught him a few days ago in NCIS and he looked just dreadful. Didn't age like most male actors who, unlike women, usually get better looking with age. Not him. Anyway, skip this one, it's less than half a star. I give it 3 for Al and Jean-Pierre.
