Ian really made "Steven" real.

I really think Ian (Steve as an adult) made this episode. His acting was superb. He carried the show. I really liked how he was able to make us really feel like he was reliving the incidents that he had gone through with his Mother and Father as a boy. I almost forgot he played the part of a skating coach though when he came back for a "second chance". I really like Mr. Smith, although I really liked Mr. Jones in season 1 also. This was a great show and I am so glad that I am able to see the reruns. I know I've seen a few of them more than once (Even Steven, included), but that's just fine with me.moreless
