[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] The simple answer is that the producers never planned to do anything with him until someone had the brilliant idea of writting an episode in which he defected. Don't get me wrong, I thought the twist was good and the continuing story line solid. But what I would love to see just once in a while in Trek is a little forethought. One of the better things Voyager did (and then dropped) was have a continuing, intentional sub plot running during the second season with Jonas and the Kazon and Seska. I'll grant you, Seska was probably never meant to be any more than an extra when she first appeared, but they did pretty good with her development. I would love to be able to look back on Eddignton's appearances and see him do things that apparently had no motive when he did them, but then suddenly add up when we find out what he really is. Maybe he's caught doing something and explains his way out of it... reasonable enough. He's a Starfleet Officer. We trust him. So he picks up a stray pad in one episode or sneaks a peek at Odo's console in another... He's our friend... we don't think a thing of it. Until WHAM! It all comes together. That's what I would like to have seen. [/QB][/QUOTE]
