The middle ground (... the road seldomly traveled)

Still looks (and feels) like I'm flying solo here, so far...

I keep forgetting to ask if there is anyone else taking part in this. Though, I haven't really been doing that great of a job to promote this blog, either.
Note to self: Increase promotion of LG15 Today Round Table Blog.
The Team reached Pittsburgh, last week, and spent the week at Estelle's it seems. So I'm guessing they will be continuing their journey onto Boston. Who wants to start a poll on how long it takes for them to get to Boston from Pittsburgh? It took two, almost three weeks for the trip from Chicago, to Pittsurgh. From there to Boston is a lot shorter distance, but who knows, they could get caught up in New York!

Is Estelle's fifteen minutes of fame up once the team leaves the Burgh of Pitt? From what I've heard the majority of the boards is/was not very favorable of Estelle staying on as a permanent character. Who says that two characters can't be added at once?
/sarcasm/ That being the case, with five team members, we could do this up as some Sendai thing... I think I like the sound of it... The LG-Rangers! Go-Go-LG-Rangers!!! -_- /end sarcasm/
Developing the relationships for the show is great, but like Sarah pointed out, "What about the mission?" Definitely would never expect to hear Sarah going on about getting back on track about the mission, though we do need to give Jonas some space to kick back and have fun. It's so tough to be able to do so from the hero's perspective.

The hero always has to be responsible for his actions, always placed under a microscope; watched constantly lest he does something rash. having "fun" is rarely an option for one with such a label. If Maggie does develop a real relationship, I wonder how it will be handled.
Has Maggie ever been in a relationship, has she ever had to feel the biting pangs of breaking up with someone or being dumped? At this point, I don't think she has ever had any relationship 'experience'. Then again, this is part of what has made this series what it is. Numerous uncomfortable (and unstable) relationships, one after the other.

.... Oh yeah... I am still wondering about what really happened to Beaumont!
[Remember, there was always a sixth Ranger -somewhat of a renegade Ranger- that always came to save the day when the Rangers got themselves into trouble... Beaumont would seem to fit that role almost perfectly.]

The story does seem to have stalled a bit with the crew in Pittsburg - the purpose seems to be to form the team and show the relationships - getting ready for the remaining chapters. The date in Boston is set by the live event coming up.

Otherwise, the story seems to be somewhat lacking in focus right now, but perhaps the fate (rescue?) of Beaumont combined with the mission to find the ancient artifact will provide a for an exciting end to this part of the story.
