What it comes down to then, really, is whether the Kerths should be a "leader" or a "follower".
I was thinking of this the other day... in connection with the "Best Original/Supporting Character" -- that's a brand new category this year; we've never had anything close to it, really. And yet, we're overflowing with strong contenders for it. The K-Com didn't have to try to encourage people to write good supporting characters. We just identified the trend (perhaps belatedly
). So, we'll re-assess next year, and see how many stories seem to feature strong bad-guy A-plots. Get writing, people!
