Bullet proof

Even though I'm unsure when I'll be able to write the episode summary of Bullet Proof. I'm delighted to hear there are still fans of Wild Card 19 years after it first aired.

Zoe's phoney matrimony please

If I ever find the time to write Wild Card episode summaries again, I will make sure to write prioritize Zoe's Phoney Matrimony and Bullet Proof. I'm thrilled there are still active Wild Card fans. I enjoyed this show so much before that I bought DVR episodes of the show from a fellow fan as they weren't available elsewhere at that time, but now it's on streaming.
