The idea came from the new Battlestar Galactica, which showed both what happened and what was coming. Good point about the relevance. I'll have to remember to go further back when needed. The "404" reference was more an added level to the name than anything else.Scott Delahunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735796666483741699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464382918796251124.post-74839791468085891982014-11-09T10:29:15.791-05:002014-11-09T10:29:15.791-05:00The "Previously" and "Next" th...The "Previously" and "Next" thing is very clever. A good way of reminding people what happened, since it's (presumably) been a while since the last reading, plus makes people want to return. I tend to make an effort to reframe my first paragraph for my ongoing serial, but may consider stealing this idea. It occurs to me that we see it on modern TV shows too (like "Agents of SHIELD") where it might not even be the previous episode in the "previously on" clip, but it's something historically relevant to the story going forwards. Kudos.<br />Not much to say about the rest, and though "404" went over my head, it's clever to see what the author had in mind.Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.com
