M7: Pilot/Ghosts of the Confederacy

Welcome to the first of our Magnificent Seven episode discussions. In addition to the usual summary, I thought I'd add something that would be both fun and educational. Okay, fun [g] -- a stats list. It contains both canon and fanon items along with an Oops! category
