episode where he made a mistake and Straker called him on the floor, he is
very dependable. He is a follower. He follows orders and makes sure things
get done. If it weren't for Ford, Straker and Foster would just be cut outs
of each other. Sometimes we have to see someone be fallible or they just
come off as a jerk. That is why Matter of Priorities was so good. Straker
screwed up and it lost him whatever respect Mary still had for him and the
life of his son.

Excuse me if I'm butting into a personal conversation here, but I've
always like Ford also, I think he gets a raw deal on this list. He DOES seem
to be the go-to man for most things in this series.

My favorite scene for him is when he presents the papers to Alec Freeman
in "Responsibility Seat", after the false SkyDiver alarm saying "....Even a
'Practice Launch' requires an authorization...."

What a guy!....

I'll butt out now,
