This is an addendum to an earlier review. In the previous review of Shields I
marked Athena as a nine, and was subsequently informed that "colour" and
"flavour" are not the only words the English spell differently than their
American counterparts. My view of the world vastly expanded, I take this
opportunity to revisit my scores and award Spoonbender the triple tens he so
rightly deserves.

Revised ratings for "Shields"
Athena (technical quality): 10
Venus (plot & character): 10
Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10
