Has anyone ever given thought what happened to Liz in P2? For that matter , what about Tim in P3? Surely Liz, being a psychic close to Mike and The Tall Man's level of power would warrant something a little more special than just a Sentinel! Maybe a Gold Sphere?? When The Tall Man had Tim captured on the gurney, he told him he had plans for him, as in something apart from the usual body-crushing-Dwarf-and-brain-in-Sphere routine?? I have often wondered if maybe Mike and Jody (both being sentinels) could stage a revolution and over throw The Tall Man from within??I think Liz has been almost forgotten and she was too strong a character for that in my opinion. Tim as well brought something special for Don to bring him in just to write off as dead. Heroes fall and in this day of 100 movies per tuesday on release, are far too often just brushed off as "eh, but the "main guy" survives so what else? Our main heroes walk across the back of their fallen comrades to obtain victory in most movies without a backwards glance of that "last perfect day". I am thankful Don wrote some great secondary characters to help Mike and Regg win the day (maybe??!) and am really curious as to what happened to the fallen in our Phantasm!

Sadly I just don't think secondary characters hold much weight in the Phantasm world. But really, I don't mind so much... for me, the series has always been about the journey of Mike and Jody, and Reggie plays an integral part of that relationship as well.

Thanks for the response Gopher! I'm personally always rooting for the secondary characters (i liked Han and Chewbacca, the jedi never interested me that much, go figure lol)! But i agree, these main characters are the focus, i just like expanded universe when allowed!
