| Hi there Tribe Fans! My name is Stewart and by day I am an electronics engineer - yes I am older than 14/15 which is the age range normally thought of as Tribe-ites. I live in Sussex (by the sea) I first found The Tribe while channel-hopping one Saturday afternoon; it was the tail-end of episode 3, series 3. I was instantly hooked and read all the storylines at the Tribeworld website to find out what I had missed. By chance I "met" (in cyberspace) Zoe, webmaster of 100% Antonia, Ella Wilkes Online, and also of Sarah Major Online (Trudy, Danni and Patsy fan sites). At the time, she was starting these fan sites, and this triggered my imagination that I too could create a Tribesite. It would be an excuse (if one were needed) to watch the Tribe, plus I could learn all about the world of html. I use an iMac, with a Formac Studio digitizer. And I use Dreamweaver and Adobe Photoshop. I usually test web pages on 3 browsers before I am satisfied they won't do strange things. UPDATE! - I now have am ordinary PC as well (not "Wintel" - but "WinAMD") for checking out web pages. If you're interested there's a diagram of the stuff I use. Other interests are history and DIY.. I enjoyed movies like the original Star Wars trilogy + Tolkien's Lord of the Rings + things like the mini tv-series a while back called Neverwhere. |
| Many thanks to Tribeworld, where a lot of pictures around the web can be traced back to, and to Cloud 9 for giving us such a brilliant show. |  |

| So Why Do I Like The Tribe? |
| Difficult one that. It's not like your average soap. If it was once because of the survival theme, that isn't the main topic now (S4). Is it the plots? certainly in S4 the plots are excelling themselves for twists and turns and red-herrings. I like that. But I also like the character treatment - human feelings (hates, fears, loves) are explored in depth both good and dark sides. All of Ebony's deviousness - and you never know what is going on in that twisted mind. Amber's qualities of leadership borne of her sense of responsibility and justice. There's humor and there's utter pathos. What other series could have a funeral ceremony for a dog? I thought that the birth of Brady was really well done. Here you had the reallity of the pain of childbirth - lasting a lot longer than the 10 minutes you might believe from other treatments. All of human nature is here. |
