thanks for the terrific analysis, anthony. i wonder how much of this tasha-centric production was born of residual tunnel-vision on my part. in my conscious mind, the reasoning was, "well, tim seems to have always wanted a family on some level. tasha changes more." but i'm also sure that a lot of it came from my previous experience of ONLY seeing the show through tasha's eyes. also, the actress who played tasha in this production was more, shall we say, indulgent than the other actors and kind of dragged herself into the forefront.
