This would make it much easier to see him as the dominant leader in the group over Angel--he would have experience, age, and rank and would probably have the contact with field grade officers that would support his relationship with the Colonel. The first chapter says that Saul, if he kept his mouth shut, would likely outrank Michael--this would have to be changed to support Michael's new rank.
That would have rivaled Burt's rank... and I wouldn't have wanted to do that. I also feel that E-5's have a much different mentality and age, and better fit for what I wanted. He's an e-6 in Irwin though...

He still had $ and came from $. Legit $, that's another story.

Yeah, I sort of created a unit for them... It's a non-specific unit for a few reasons. If I chose something specific, then there might have been some story ghosting issues. Like if I based it off of a unit that exists, there would be a lot more strings to tie down.

I have not begun Season 4, but if you intend to continue to work on the series post-production, I recommend doing some heavy editing to season 1 as it does not meet the season 2 or the season 3 standard.
Well, we got better as we went that's for sure, but you have to start somewhere. We went back and remastered Season 1 and it's much better on CD than the podcast form. So if you listen to the podcast version, I recommend going back and doing the other version.


OK, now for something new entirely. I'm finally going to fix the extra "PUCK" in Chapter 24.

For those of you who don't know, I made a pretty big mistake from season 2 to 3. I originally had a guy named "Puck" as a maller. He liked Hockey, that's where his nickname came from.

Anyway, at that point season 3 was still in outlining and planning phases and I ended up changing a character named "Pike" to "Puck". SO, what happened? I ended up with two Pucks... oops. Big oops. It's been driving me nuts. So, in the next few months it's going to get fixed and changed. I'll keep you updated on when, it'll take some time, but the name will now be "Biscuit". The funny thing about that... Biscuit is a nickname for Puck. It'll clear up the confusion and yet still remain the same.
