I toyed with the idea of letting him fight and then realized that it would lead to a much larger canon departure than I've envisioned for this series. LOL Not much of a G/B series if B is dead, is it? And no, he has not heard the last of it from Martok. Martok isn't exactly the "let it lie" sort of guy. (See, I can rhyme, too. :P )

The Grumpy Twins. I love it! Tain unconscious has a certain appeal that Tain awake can't hold a candle to.

The conference episode completely glossed over what happened on Bajor, just jumping straight to when they were on their way back and how indignant Garak was about his treatment there. Sad to say, but I actually thought a conference episode would've been more interesting and compelling than what they did cover, the whole weird Odo somehow linking all of them with his subconsciousness. But that's why we get to write our own stuff.

The cool thing about this part of the series from a writing standpoint is that there's a LOT of wiggle room to cover behind the scenes. I've been looking forward to the internment camp stuff ever since I realized the first story wasn't going to be a one-shot after all. Thanks for the awesome reviews! I always love hearing what you think about it all.
