Dear Andy, I would like to be moved up into the active list, although I have done li= ttle=20 to deserve such an accolade recently, I have been doing my homework. Fina= lly=20 watch the last episode of Voyager and caught up on the two feature films = I=20 havent seen (Nemesis and Star Trek: The Motion Picture). I will follow th= is=20 email with a post (which I hope you like). On a side note, themes I think= Id=20 like to explore with Sam this season are his envroaching age (boarded in = 2000=20 a year or so out of the academy and then we ve had 8-9 game years since, = so=20 that puts him in his early 30s). Id also like to run a sub line on his mi= ssing=20 Qbed, I know its been done a lot but I think theres a little more to be h= ad=20 out of it. Further I want to explore his relationships with the rest of t= he=20 crew, I feel that since Tails to Enniens, the only person Sams been getti= ng=20 regular screen time with in a social context is Santos (and a little bit = wit=20 Cynan). Im sure the relationships are there (in the background) but they=20 havent really been explored. Im seeing more and more parallels to Harry K= im in=20 Sam, but I dont by any means want to turn him into a pastiche!=20 Enough warbling. I must apologise for the lack of apostrophes, I need a n= ew=20 keyboard.=20 My best wishes of health and happiness to you and yours!
