You're a lot like me. I too tend to take the 'hide & watch' approach when it comes to plot areas that I can't figure out at first. But I'll explain eventually. Never fear! Amelia, I can't tell you how weird it feels calling him by another name! But it has its fun moments too. I'm almost going to be sorry to give him his own name back. : The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

Chapter 4: I'm intrigued by the director's interest in Gar (Ed). You have mentioned it a couple of times in the story. I'm thinking a couple of possiblites here, but I'm going to watch and wait. I'll let you know if I was right. What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

I was glad to see Ed remember his name. I hope Alec survived, and Ed just doesn't remember it. What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Posts: 990 Location: Fulton, MO Re: Gar Barusch FDK Reply #25 - Feb 27th, 2011 at 11:11am Print Post It's all your fault for writing an essay on Timelash. It got me thinking. . . and that's never a good thing! It always seemed to me that they wasted their opportunity with that whole time freeze thing. It would have been so much simpler if they just took out the majority of the command team while they could, then came in with force to take over. So that's what I had them set out to do! Glad you liked my Ford. He was there to give the reader a broad hint that SHADO still existed. And to surprise The Man, of course. The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

Posts: 2391 Location: Coventry, RI Re: Gar Barusch FDK Reply #26 - Feb 27th, 2011 at 3:34pm Print Post Then I did what I set out to do. *grin* This was a different twist on the time travel/amnesia theme. Timelash was not only a thought provoking episode, it introduced a huge technological advantage for the aliens. This is why my storylines address this issue so much. It's a matter of survival. It's also possible that the alien spacecraft in Timelash was a prototype, as you can see, I'm still mulling it over. This was a great story and certainly an enjoyable read.

This story was the first time my beta tester refused to critique each chapter as it came along. All she would say is: "Yes, it's good. What happens next?" Last night she reminded me that I had once told her that I didn't think I could write mysteries. She says I'm doing a really good job of proving myself wrong!

But it's intriguing that she likes it. What are your thoughts? Inquiring minds are inquiring! If you mean the name Gar Barusch for the Commander, I totally agree with the Gar part of it, Denise. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gar I thought that was why you were using Gar IP Logged
