There are so many, so where to start but first this
Style changes
At the end of season five we see the retirement of one main character, and the end of a particular style. It was the end of stories done in the first person.
In order to keep going in season six I had to introduce new characters, and to make the transition one character, the one I will give the character details next made a cameo in season five, it was like a handing over the baton
Also the main switch went from first person to third person, although for season six and the two interim side tales, even though it was third person for the most it was from the perception of one character. In Tales one towards the later episodes the perception alternated between the main protagonist and a relative of theirs. Unavoidable as the protagonist became incapacitated.
Most of the story lines ran for six episodes plus an epilogue (Except for season six and tales one which did not have the epilogue)
Tales two ran for three episodes only
Then there was a long break...
The Relaunch
I came in with Season seven as another relaunch, and brought in as many characters as I could. Plus there was another slight style change. We got parts from other characters view points. Another feature of the relaunch were the back references right to season one and two (Neither aired on TIBB). Characters from both tales were also brought back, effectively bringing the side tales back into the main Parthenon
Also the length of story grew to eight episodes.
Season eight was to tie up loose ends I had left from Seasons one through season six.
Season nine later this year promises to do what the vignettes between season three and season four did, propose a what if...
If you want to see what that was, and if you have not done so already see my season eight
Next posting - before the bios the orgs
