You could bring him back as a super-powerful, cyborged pawn of an evil villain who holds a bitter hatred for the three wacky kids who took away his humanity and destroyed his life forever....no, that's stupid, forget I said it.

I honestly didn't think he was smart enough to ever be interesting. Still, it rather bothered me that one of the heroes could just casually kill a small child, no matter how vicious and bratty, without any second thoughts or regrets later. It was just sort of forgotten about, as if the kid's life wasn't important enough for anyone to worry about. And lets face it: that toss wasn't something someone could have reasonably expected an ordinary person to survive.

I read it. I thought it was extremely pretentious. Especially the part about "Star Wars=evil monarchist elitist propaganda while Star Trek=joyful PC democratic paradise." It was very entertaining.
