[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Okay, Galen is a technomage. If you don't think technomages are awesome, you need to go read "The Passing of the Technomages" trilogy. You will learn. [QUOTE]Each one had a deceptive early plot that gave way to a deep dark major plot arc that always involved some previous evils or whatever.[/QUOTE]Well, in all fairness that's the basic nature of a lot of epic stories. There's a war, usually a repitition of a past war, against an enemy that was defeated but not destroyed. There's a prophetic hero, who starts the story in an everyday but in some way unsatisfying setting, and who eventually bears some wound or mark from an encounter with evil. There's the mystic figure that sets the hero on his quest, but is removed from play so that the hero can come into his own. Babylon 5, The Matrix, Harry Potter, The Wheel of Time, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and even Final Fantasy all share many of those elements. Yes, Straczynski likes his epics. That's not necessarily a bad thing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
