Totally agree with you about things being "organic", I think that is the best way to create the most interesting and realistic characters - just let them have a life of their own.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82429.msg3691948#msg3691948">Quote from: alxnjsh on 27-09-2010, 23:35:01</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">In fact, it would be interesting for someone to lose a rank...I don't recall that happening on TNG. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I don't remember it on TNG either, but I know on Voyager Tom Paris was demoted, knocked down from Lt to Ensign for a while ...
