We characterize nonforking (Morley) sequences in dependent theories in terms of a generalization of Poizats special sequences and show that average types of Morley sequences are stationary over their domains. We characterize generically stable types in terms of the structure of the eventual type. We then study basic properties of strict Morley sequences, based on Shelahs notion of strict nonforking. In particular we prove Kims lemma for such sequences, and a weak version of local character.
