Put roughly, a character arc is a given character's individual story or stories. In ongoing serialised drama, characters may well have mutliple arcs - one or more for each season.

I think Nate's "arc" was predetermined to be tragic... He didn't have a realistic view that would enable him to sustainably apply the things he wanted to give to life.

I'll miss adam.

As somoene who has cheated and started watching half way through, Simon seems to jump out as the winner . kate jumps out as the "Saira" figure. You just *know* she'll make it to at least the semis. I siralan likes her.

Pie, you're fired

Siralan, please just give me one more chance - let me prove to you that I am your apprentice despite making a pig's ear of my last post. I hold my hands up and accept that someone else should get fired for it.

Moving right along...

Was thinking of starting a 6fu retrospective thread to ask if other people had felt it had affected their lives as it has mine. Hesitated to avoid

a) repetition
b) perceptions of pretentiousness.

Don't think that should be a problem as long as you have something distinctive to say. I quite like the idea, actually.

Perhaps it could be more all purpose and cover any show that has affected board members deeply?

That's a great recipe for a list thread, Boboss. I think the original idea is preferable. I'd love to get into why I think nobody's arc is predetermined in 6FU - how on the contrary, the story is all about how important the choices we make are.

Call me an idealist but I live in hope. Anyway, lists can be stamped on in the summary.
