[Ads-l] sideboob

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

Thanks for your comments, Amy and Chris. I am not sure whether I
understand your interpretation.

Are you interpreting the phrase to mean a camera shot of the breasts
taken from the side? Alternatively, are you interpreting "side" to
mean extra, incidental, or extraneous?

The Usenet message of Jan 19, 1997 refers to an episode of Highlander
titled Prophecy. The Highlander fan wiki says that was episode 1 of
season 5. The episode does have the character Cassandra mentioned in
the message. Amazon Prime Video has this episode. I admit I am not
sufficiently motivated to pay to see the episode. Maybe some list
member is a subscriber to a streaming service that would allow you to
see this episode for free?
