No, Chanter m'dear, you will not create a journal for Morgan Bateson a la TNG's "Cause and Effect," and even if you do, which you aren't, you will not use the journal name "timelostcaptain". Not "timelost_morgan" either, and definitely not "nearly_hit_you," even if that does come from a definitive line of his in canon. No. End of story. Write all the fic about him you want, backstory, character exploration, even that blush-worthy piece you were pondering this morning *ahem*, but you do *not* need another Milliways pup right now. You're afraid you'll short change Sariel if you app anyone else, remember? Bateson can be a new headvoice/muse, but you're not bringing him in. Nothing doing,sweetie.

... Shards, I need to write some fic, or my resolve is gonna crumble.

Will somebody who knows the episode I'm referencing do me a favor and fill me in as to just what Captain Bateson looks like? I don't want to go entirely by the way he sounds and get the details wrong in writing. I've done it before. He only turns up at the episode's end, and... here's me with my incurable minor character love again. A large majority of my headvoices are giving me warm fuzzy vibes, now. :D

Bateson is played by Kelsey Grammer of Frasier/Cheers/Simpsons fame.

He's bald on top with brown hair around the back and sides. He has blue eyes. In this episode he has a neatly-trimmed beard. He's about 6'1" with an average build. Bateson looks like he's about 45 or so.

That help?

... *boggles* Good lord, he is? No way! I had no idea. None. ... *boggles more* Jeez, when he's going for serious rather than seriously snarky, he sounds totally different. I'd never have guessed that in a thousand years.

Yes, by the way, that helps quite a lot. Thanks! Good thing I asked; my mental image of him just went straight out the--well, maybe not out the window so much as the airlock. Heh. :)
