Correct usage with conjunction
a) The cast all deliver star performances. But I found the evening over-elaborate & superficial.
b) She could drive. But chose to take the bus.
c) She waited at door. But heard nothing.
For a) Is using a period and starting with a conjunction stylistic or standard English. I thought if the sentences were following same train of thought a comma, and a conjunction were used.
And as a rule, should a conjunction, in this case but, take a comma despite the 'subject' being understood like in example b & c). Otherwise, it is a fragment as written - correct.
