I didn't vote in the poll myself, but I would have gone with "I loved it!" If you haven't seen my detailed review of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER, look here. (Warning, that post contains spoilers!)

Several people asked me to post the results from the Other category.  There were 25 in all.  Please note: where specific numbers are referenced in these comments, they are talking about the options in the order they were listed on the poll.

  • I loved it but wanted to add that it was the best of the LJ series

Ha! I loved seeing all the "other" opinions. I still struggle with believing anyone did not just absolutely LOVE it! LOL. Oh well, at least I'm part of the majority camp. Great post, thanks Karen!

I'm really amused by the second to last "other comment". I think I can actually hear the pearl clutching through the internet.
