Hey Greg,

sorry if you have read this already but I think this Q was trashed so here it is again.

You said that you guys wanted to elaborate on the Trio after the 5 parter, Lex up first.

1) Was there any perticular reason you decided it that way? Or..what ya draw straws;)

2) Second, I had noticed a pattern. After Awakenings we had an ep first on lex, then brook, then
broadway. Later on in the series we see it again. An episode with lex and the pack (sadly), then
brook and his mutant girl problems, then (though with a slight intermission) an episode on
Broadway. Even later in TGC we see Ransom, then Runaways, and Broadway goes Hollywood
*shudders just saying it* yuck. But anyway, again, a pattern. Was this intentional? Like, "hey it
worked the first time?" Or pure coincidence?

Thanks alot!;D

1. We didn't exactly draw straws. We knew we wanted to do the Trio tryptich but on one level it didn't matter who came first. It was the stories that defined that. We had just "killed" Demona off in Awakening 5. We wanted to let the mystery of whether or not she survived last longer than one episode. So Temptation couldn't go first. And Elisa getting shot would create an on-going situation, since we didn't want her injury to vanish. On the other hand, we did want to establish that Xanatos being in prison wasn't stopping him from conducting his affairs. Add all that up, and the order defines itself.

2. Coincidence if that. (I'm not sure what you've described even qualifies as a pattern.)
