Someone on Facebook complained that we saw the Delaney Sisters onscreen, saying that they were more interesting when we just heard about them secondhand...
PNQ: Opinions?
I think the Facebook poster is a little uptight. The Delaney Sisters weren't built up to the point where any performance would be a letdown, like Norm's wife Vera (odd that this is the same day as the George Wendt post, huh?) or Maris on Frasier. They were only mentioned previously in the episode "Time and Again" when Tom was trying to set up a double date. Their only subsequent mention was in "Muse".
Where they seriously dropped the ball is not showing the Delaney Sisters MORE. Harry giving up on Libby deserved more mentions, and eventually deciding to start dating again would've made a nice subplot. Then again, this subplot would've needed more Paris appearances, and between Kes and Torres he was kept pretty busy.
