John,
Sorry I couldn't respond to your comments sooner, Taylor Lynne has been a full time adventure since Thursday.
Regarding the deserter story, both you and Tieranny had concerns about it being similar to the first season episode you mentioned. As you found out, it had nothing to do with the episode where Call scouted for the soldiers.
The future considerations around Newt and babies is always going to be discussed. One thing I've noticed in our continuing LD episodes is the way the relationship has progressed between Newt and the three Brandt sisters. Early struggles with Victoria, the oldest, have developed into Call's looking to her for support and advice as an older sister.
Paige is more playful with him.
What I liked about the scene where he first sees the baby is how we can watch the strong, quick-to-action Call suddenly become slow and confused against the superior combo of the sisters. It's definitely realistic and humorous.
Thanks, John.
Craig
