I feared the tapes would cost a lot, but I wasn't sure what the arithmetic would actually be. I assume you aren't about to get rid of any of that material for a while anyway.
Aral may be a political genius but if so, I don't think we actually see it - we just see the results. I see him as something else - a completent, intelligent man who has to cope with a difficult situation and heroically does so - rises to the occasion.
I don't think any genius could act to the full extent of his powers at all times. But I don't think Miles is ever ordinary and I think Aral and Cordelia often are. This is meant with no deingration to either of them, you understand - you know I love Aral more than I love Miles, and Cordelia not far behind. But I think Miles' capacity for achievement is higher than that of most mortals.
