Whoa! Yous guys calm down! Let's stick to the subject at hand, eh?!? Noledge, your outline is great! Naturally, I'd change a few things here and there, but very little. But that's the beauty of the topic and this whole board: everybody's got somethin' to contribute, and bouncin' ideas off each other is the best way to get insight.
Knocc Out, your idea about the narrative was especially insightful! Mike's death as an old man in a chair in GF III just didn't quite fill all the holes for me. I mean, his life didn't jump 20 years from Mary's death! What better way to fill in those holes than to have him narrate the story? Noledge, you just keep on keepin' on, man! Great stuff! By the way, welcome, Queen Assassin!
