I don't remember anything at all so it's probably a wide open field. Thanks, Matt What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Nothing was said of either of his parents except that one small reference in ESP when Croxley gets mad because he's thinking of his mother. It's impossible to tell from the comment whether she was living or dead at the time. So, yes. It's wide open to any interpretation you want to give it. Go for it! IP Logged

When you least expect it Re: Straker's Father Reply #3 - Jun 11th, 2010 at 7:09am Print Post I always felt that Ed was teetotal because he was a control freak,and alcohol makes you lose your inhibitions.. something he never did! ALthough your idea about his father being an alcoholic is good. I need some air. WWW IP Logged

And the alcohalism aspect makes seense as well. Something to mull over. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything significant from the series. Sounds like Denise is cooking up another good story! Can't wait to read it. What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged
