Quote:Ah, yes - I was wondering how I'd get Doug and Sanson to like each other, and this will work just fine.
Doug is going to get very tired of Ayerton very fast. Ayerton's face may well make frequent, speedy contact with a bulkhead or treetrunk as a result...
Seriously, I don't think that anyone likes Ayerton, excepting Jean and Marie. (And those two like everybody, except for the Neo-Atlanteans.) You mentioned that you'd made it to episode 28 - in the next four episodes, he gets even worse, IMHO. He does have a short redeeming scene near the end of the series, but it isn't enough to make up for his earlier behaviour.
Ayerton will definitely be the story's comic-relief / punching-bag; Doug's going to have to remind himself and Sanson more than once that Ayerton's just a crunchy.
