GusPulled out New Meat because it is on the The Squad index, any member of which could be considered a Character As Device. I'm not sure what it would help to "flatten out" the Ensembles elements to the general list.

Looney Toons: Ack. My error — I put New Meat here before I realized it was part of The Unit, then forgot to remove it.

bluenihil: Must...alphabetize... *twitch*


Morgan Wick: Not sure where to put this, but I saw this (as of 6/27/2007) and I thought it would be fun to try and match these "characters" to our tropes, and follow the discussion prompted at the end of the section. Ready? Go! MIB...Cowboy Cop...Mad Scientist...not sure...not sure but appears to be more of a plot trope than anything else. How'd I do? How might you do?

Ununnilium: "The Greedy Idiot Genius" is Cut Lex Luthor a Check. "The Subjugated SuperAlien" is Green-Skinned Space Babe plus Turned Against Their Masters.

Fast Eddie: Quote that didn't really fit.

Do you know what "Nemesis" means? A distribution of righteous force, manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case, by a 'orrible cunt. Me.

Frank75: This page might need a cleanup. I mean, how does Picky Eater f.e. relate to a plot?
