[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5321398, member: 807"] well, Book * does get special treatment and surprise when people scan his ID card * he has knowledge of weaponary types * he knows how to handle a weapon (aka he isn't a novice in actual use of) * when his ID card is scanned he is not arressted or questioned (so you know he's not "on the run") * his default/prefered problem resolution method is peacefully talking it out if that seems possible. So I always figured he was some sort of high ranking soldier and something tragic or life-altering happened either during the war or just after it to make him decide it wasn't the life for him and thus turn away from violence. I.e. maybe he did something violent (under orders) that caused the death of someone/people he thought should have been spared, etc. of course, no real evidence any which way, but that's how i took it. as to the OP's point in general -- yes, it is a lot of fun to rewatch things and catch things you didn't notice before (stuff that was foreshadowing later events and the like -- I remember rewatching Gargoyles and at one point Demona says to Puck "You serve the human and now you can serve me" which didn't make sence at the time but after a later episode it becomes clear that the line is foreshadowing a reveal that didn't come until a season the fact. I would never have caught or understood that without having rewatched it. And there are other such examples of that very same phenomenon... [/QUOTE]
