Absolutely not.

I remember reading the episode and turning the page and reading the screen directions which stated that Crais and the ship blows up. And I'm going, "What do you mean the ship blows up? If the ship blows up that obviously means that Crais bows out." I remember David Kemper at the time saying, "Don't worry about that."

[And I replied], "What do you mean, don't worry about it?" That was the end of Crais.

In some ways, I'm kind of nostalgic for that [character], and I would have liked to have seen a conclusion to Crais' character. For me it never happened, it was abrupt.

But, as people keep on saying, it was a noble end.
