Quote:Empowerment for Xander is a bad idea, IMHO, because if you give him any special abilities, you miss the point about what really makes him special.
for an interesting (potentially, anyway) examination of this point, i challenge all-and-sundry to rewrite the st:tng episode where q empowers riker using the scooby gang (with xander playing the part of riker, of course)
