*nods* I agree, holes are fine, a bit of mystery is fine, but I think when you start writing your LEADING MAN with such gaping holes in his characterisation that his motivation and actions can be interpreted so vastly differently by the viewing audience, you're doing something wrong. And it amounts to an extra special kind of fail if you do that whilst at the same time smugly telling us what a thoroughly modern and progressive hero you've created.
