User Reviews

The song Jenny wrote

Could you tell me where I can get the music "Scarlet Rose"? I can't get the tune out of my head. I saved the show on my TIVO so I can hear the music. This was the song that Hawk played when he was killed and the song played throughout the show. I also enjoyed watching the captain do a little soft shoe to the amusement of his staff. Another outstanding episode that I thoroughly enjoyed. I was wondering why the character that played Hawk was not listed in the credits? For future shows, I like when the show goes back in time at least 40 years. Sometimes, the show will only go back a few years. I realize the younger version of the characters is not the same as the present ones, but it portrays a more realism to the show.
