I remember years back when we still had the old boards that someone did a little series of threads called "Bloodlines". The OP would pick a frame and go into it's history. I wish I could remember who did those because they were a great source of info and great threads in general.

Someone recently promissed to find them but I've not seen them yet ... maybe they are archived or something
