Sinclair to me though dispite carrying survivors guilt does seem to be emotionally more rounded. Both Ivanova and Marcus seem to display more of a "Samurai" world view, maybe not totally unquestioning in their loyalty but defined by that loyalty to Sheridan and Delenn respectively and the cause...

Good to know there's someone else here besides us to resurrecting decade old threads. I must confess I'v never read either of those stories but I remember someone posting the cliff nots of the second and really its much more about Marcus than it is Ivanova. Anything that comes before...

I think its clear that they know of a more advanced history prior to the great burn, there shown as having found buried technology and 500 years isn't long enough for all outward signs of the previous society to have vanished even after a nuclear war. That would be a pretty strong link for an...

I was talking more about her than him and I think you can see especially in the conflict against the advanced destroyers that she's very much of the view that they all must be destroyed no matter the costs(which you can see Marcus is worried about). She's quite prone to taking extreme risks...

I mention Trek but actually I think the way JMS calls moral failings to account is actually much closer to Tolkien. Indeed you get the most obvious setup for Ivanova here from a character with the most obvious links to him in Lorien, firstly his "its easy to find something worth dying for, have...

Idea's can pass down the generations of course. I think its notable that the Rangers are looking to reintroduce the alliance via religion as you could probably make the case that a lot of the xenophobic/anti tech movements motivation came from existing religions as it does today.

To be fair theres more to acting that just showing strong emotion and in this case I think the scene works so well exactly because its such a big shift from an otherwise quite emotionally detached and cynical character. This scene/story always reminded me rather of Kirk in Wrath of Khan...

The most I can find is here.... http://babylon5.wikia.com/wiki/Undeveloped_or_Unfilmed_episodes "The "A-plot" for the proposed season two episode was to have centered around the outbreak of the Narn-Centauri War, while the "B-plot" would have featured the founder of Babylon 5 visiting...

The impression I got wasn't just that Earth was "sent back to the stone age" by a nuclear war but that the war itself created a reaction against technology and outside influence that's taken along time to fall away. You could argue as well that we don't know that nobody did anything to help...

5 characters in the top 30 is certainly impressive, trek only got 3 with 5 different series and 12 films to choose from.

I always got the sense that the reason he was kept on Mars was because it allowed Clark or the Corp to keep a much tighter lid on things. On earth you could argue there would be a strong possibility the military would want to get involved or elements of the justice system Clark didn't fully...
