... It all feels very First Draft (tm). Thank god the worst of that was removed! I still think the telepath arc was screwed up but then I'm not sure whether he intended Byron et al to seem so reminiscent of a suicide cult, or whether that just came about naturally. But I think their whole presentation was of a group that didn't expect to survive and by God, they were going to make as big a bang as they could manage when they drank the KoolAid.
Not that I'm objecting to a Byron who is a cult leader intent on self-immolation, I just think that it's a little limiting to have him be the sole telepath leader. A telepath movement with a convincing leader who had a practical, workable vision, would have been very interesting.
