After I wrote: <As a fan of B7, you ought to know that lack of (coherent) plot never stopped Our Heroes ...>
Fiona asked: <For example?>
For one example, try and make sense of the plot of Weapon for me - I love it, but make head or tail of cause and effect I *cannot*.
Makes sense to me, though I admit it can't be summarised in twenty-five words or less :). Perhaps the problem is not that it lacks plot, but that it has three or four?
And Dawn of the Gods appears to me to be mostly plot-hole tied up with a few spider-web-strands of almost endearing vagueness.
It's mostly hole, all right. Black hole... :).
