Being of the female persuasion, I didn’t actually think she was **hot** , but rather thought that Sam was remembering his idealized version of his mum. You know, Mum being the most beautiful woman in the world. Aawww.

I agree! A lot of people seem to think that Sam fancies his 1973 mum… I think his reaction and behavior is more “My God… she’s so young!” and “My mom’s the prettiest!”

The Internet… it’s a WONDERFUL thing. More I cannot say. Oh, and the DVD box set is out next month on [amazon.co.uk](http://amazon.co.uk).

No, but someone on the Boards has the screen name **Left Hand of Dorkness**.
