 * Oooh, excellent choice. :D After all, Mudro did decimate the Water Tribe in the Fractures Universe and it's unknown what happened to Betak's counterpart because of that. :P
 * Interesting... I suppose the Barraki would actually make good Halloween costumes. I'll see how this goes... :D
 * Nice pun, and a good choice. :P Strakk is indeed a large source of lost potential, not to mention my favorite Glatorian character.
 * Really? How ironic... I actually thought that scene was horribly executed. XD I'm thrilled that you thought so highly of it. :D I'll make sure to keep that part in when the chapter undergoes the rewrite project.
 * Indeed, Santis is very reminiscent of the original Toa Mata. :P He's your all-powerful, colorful, memory-wiped Toa of Fire, born straight out of legend with no apparent backstory or drive other than the unconventional desire to kill Tollubo. I can see why you associate him with the traditional "hero" image, for he is a powerful, tribal warrior. :P

As for the message of Falling in the Black, there are a number of messages relating to different years of BIONICLE. :P There's a lot of scenes where the Matoran are left to fend for themselves and where Santis is not there to protect them. In a sense, the story is as much a study of the Matoran heroes as it is of Santis. :P The Toa of Fire is out conventional, wholesome hero whereas Torlo is the unconventional wildcard. Even a Matoran can be a hero. ;)
