Jun. 21st, 2008 07:08 amTitle: Scales
Rating: T.
Genre: Character study/dramangst.
Beta: Several people provided brief but insightful feedback, and I thank them all.
Continuity: Probably sometime Season 3 or 4, but has no real spoilers. Thematic resonance with a lot of episodes such as s4 Absolute Power, s6 Full Circle, and s9 Ethon, though.
Prerequisites: S2 The Gamekeeper is useful, but not essential, to know.
Summary: Intelligence is good. Capacity to act is good. Influence is good. Infallibility is better, but no one has that, these days.
Disclaimer: Only MGM has the right to torment these characters for profit. The opinions expressed herein are the properties of the characters and not of Niccolo Machiavelli. Keep knives out of children. Read at own risk. Questions, comments and catch-22s can be left in replies or directed to magistrata(at)gmail(dot)com. Thank you for reading!
