Ming - (et al!) More spoilers! Reinhart does NOT die in episode 97 "Die by the Sword" (which is the 2nd part to teh previous ep, "Live by the Sword"). That episode is instead the one in which Reuental dies after his abortive attempt at rebellion. No, Reinhart probably dies in the last or nestxt-to-last episode. He is succeede only by his wife and child, with sworn support from Mittermeier and his son :) - Sue
