Hi Greg. First Post-G2K question, trying to catch up on your latest answers. (Hope you and the family had fun at MGM)

"Didn't we answer this at the con?"

Yes, but the question is left over from before the con. And you passed the question off to Thom, Greg G., and Vic, if that's what you mean by we.

"[And by the way, I'm no more a carpenter than a biologist.]"

Sorry, but now I have this vision of you shouting "Damn it Jim, I'm a storyteller, not a..."

Re: Gladiator and The Phantom Menace. If I remember right, the historical Commodius (sp) actually did go out and fight gladiators for fun, so it's not totally off the mark. (Of course, they'd played so fast and loose with historical accuracy by then anyway...) As for TPM, you didn't miss much.

Puck breaking the fourth wall. Coulda worked. Maybe a moment where he's sort of looking at the camera and talking to us by talking to himself.

And, so this'll have at least one question:

How much, if any, did Xanatos know about Iago's personality when he built Coldsteel? More on that in the next post.

That was the point.

As for Commodius, I knew that, and that would have been great, if the movie had depicted him that way in any way ever. But it never did.

More than you'd think. Coldstone broadcasts.
