Well in the episodes that I seen at AX in the LoGH pannel. I can not
remember if they actually called Mitermeyer Beowolf, if it was his ship or
if they refered to him as his nic name and stated it as Beowolf, but they
did in some respect associate the name Beowolf with Mittermeyer. As you
previously stated it was probebly the ship, however When I watched them I
thought that they were refering to him as if it was his name. Also in the
Episodes that where shown at Sakura-con last year, the same referance was
made. I beleave those episodes were 44-46 or 44-48, 50-52? I might be wrong
you know how human memory is. I can look at the first 42 episodes with
attached movies, but those other ones, well, um......I have only had the
plesure of watching them at the prospective conventions. I do hope that
those days will soon come to an end however.
Hank since you were at both pannels maybe you can bring light to this
subject. Also I think you might be the only one that has the video to check
for sure what was actually said or stated. What were they refering to in the
two showings the one at AX and last year at Sakura-con when they mentioned
Beowolf?
Sorry for being a pest. Also if you don't have the time to answer this kind
of trivia I understand. This is not the first time I wondered about the
change though.
Sincerely
Lance Gemmell
