Niel said all sorts of things
He often does, I'm afraid. Especially when you spell his name wrong:)
These are pretty much the same rules I used when compiling bodycounts
for
the Sevencyclopaedia, (on Judith's site, under 'Death') which gives completely different tallies for each and every character.
Neil - I just knew this would happen. I found a surprisingly large number of cases where it wasn't clear exactly "who shot who" particularly in the periodic "shoot many trooper" scenes. However, I am surprised at the big differences you pointed out. The only solution is to form an impartial panel who watch all 52 episodes, discuss each shooting in detail and
present
some sort of consensus. Or we could debate it here :-).
We could debate it here. Not exactly a lot else happening on the Lyst right now.
The ranking by number of kills is: Cally - 5
Huh? I could only find three - Sherm, another of Bayban's men and a
Link
on
Terminal. (Credit for Molok goes to Jenna, who did the actual button-pushing).
She shoots a trooper in Bounty and then another in RoD.
She doesn't shoot either, just clonks them on the head. Neither counts as a definite kill, IMO, though there is a strong case for Bounty. Likewise the guard Vila clonks in SLD.
There are some surprises/observations: However, Soolin the hired gun gets 8 of her kills in just two episodes (Warlord and Gold) - the rest of time she just isn't a killer.
Four Space Rats in Stardrive.
Rats! :-). I missed these four. However, this is such an annoying
episode
I can't bring myself to watch it again. The Exploited and Wendy O. certainly have a lot to answer for :-/
Had Wendy O Williams been in it I think I could suffer to watch it a few more times:)
Though I suppose if the Minutemen were considered the height of "youth fashoin" at the tim, then we would
have
had the worlds loudest plaid flannel shirts. Or Joy Division and an M&S reject look :-)
But lots of Atmosphere and plenty of Dead Souls in every Transmission. Instead we got a 4th Season cobbled together by Simple Minds.
