Suzette, I have always liked this episode because it does focus on Freeman. He was definatly second in command but I don't think that since the formation of SHADO he had ever made a command decision. Straker was in charge. Now Straker would never have hired him if he could not do the job. Straker was there. It is sort of like my situation at work. My boss is in command. I am the night auditor so I have to make decisions on my own. Sometimes I do the right thing and he gets mad at me. Sometimes I do the wrong thing and he gets mad at me. I must be doing something right because I am still employed. Straker needed Freeman to be in command while he was tracking down Ms. Frasier. Straker trusted him and that is what matters most. barracudawoman_2000 <

impression from the characterization point of view.
I felt that Alec Freeman seemed extremely unsure and yes, even weak in
his role as interim SHADO leader. Every decision seemed to be quite
difficult for him. It was surprising because he is 2nd in command but
he acted as if he has never made a difficult decision in his entire
career. Was this just my perception or did anyone else see this? Maybe
it was overacted but I usually like the Freeman character.
On the other hand, I thought the who thing with Straker and Jo Frasier
was interesting. It allowed the character to show personal influence
and his human emotions.
I am still thinking about it. Comments would be
appreciated...Suzette :)
