The reason that I think it's a great ensemble piece is that it uses all the characters *in character* to drive the plot along.> <grin> one could say the same about Horizon actually ... it's just that for *some* of Our Heroes it's the less edifying side of their characters. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I think I read that story while compiling that little A-B list ... several times. <Avon then turns into a slightly sarcastic version of Mr. Spock, always doing the right thing.> <grin> but when push comes to shove, he usually *does* - albeit because someone else (like Blake or Cally) is doing the pushing :-) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
