Questor 501 Posted December 22, 2010 A Ron Moore character realizes there is a plan, and follows it. A JMS character realizes there is a plan, follows it for a while, and then in a massive cliffhanger tells the planner what to do with himself. A Brannon Braga character doesn't notice the plan in the middle of all the bad writing, deus ex machina, and technobabble. A David Weber character never notices the plan because they are so awesome that they defeat the plan by both their brains and individual, qualitative superiority - even though it outnumbers them eight billion to one. A Keith Laumer character realizes the plan, sets himself up in front of the plan, and defeats it by committing suicide. A Christopher Anvil character never has time to notice the plan, they are too busy running from one insane crisis to the next. Thoughts or additions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
