O.K....
 I finally printed these suckers out and read them....
 I think as a technical point Bert's writing has shown a traceable 
progression in presentation and scripting (of course that's the result of 
good editing as well.) and his divergence "off the beaten path" so to 
speak is getting better as well. Criticism: everybody slurpps or gulps 
tons of hot beverages...Now, I'm a coffee man myself but it seems that 
somebody out there might sip once and a while...I mean tea can be 
HOT!...I guess if they are all that battered from combat they might not 
notice that inner burning but I might be wrong. Also Bert (in the story) 
keeps a pot of tea sitting around for obscene amounts of time....keeps 
the pot warm and all that but the tannic acid sitting in that pot could 
make all of the Cast leather..... 

 On the Nene breakup.....
  Well it hurts my soul to see it happen but the hints have been there 
from the begining.....There was just to much infatuation in Bert's (the 
character) perception of Nene...and not enough of "Nene the person" Bert 
(I think) (in the story) seemed to have made up his mind about Nene (she 
will be mine...oh yes, she will be mine) but didnot consider how he would 
really respond....It seemed that Sylvie knew it to although not 
nessisarily in a concious way.....

 I would have protested about the whole thing but Bert (the writer not 
the character) suckered me with the snowball thing.....it's got a bit of 
formage in it but at least they didn't kiss then....I'm a sucker for this 
whole routine......
  Well that and the fact that I can flash freeze myself tomorow for a few 
decades and then catch her on the rebound ;) 
 
 I'm waiting to see Nene walk in on the two of them in BGZ 10 sometime in 
the first few pages.....I don't know...just a hunch....
  And of course the HeadHunter....I keep thinking of that olde rhyme
                       
                        Guyver Guyver burning bright
                        in MegaTokyo late at night
                         who would have thought your fate would be
                         a button push from old Quincey.....
 
        of course
      I could be all wrong....but that's my picture of the 
HeadHunter.....
 
 Anyway, as you have guessed ...I liked it....
        
                         BUT.....

          I NEED MORE!!!!
