Wow Mega, I just love your passion for the characters. This episode was very rushed and we all know why, but the major strokes all make sense even though there were some big contrivances that could have been worked out better if they had more time. I feel you with scanning Garibaldi, but I think JMS covered his tracks just well enough that it is very plausible. Hindsight is 20/20 and we the audience got to see things the characters didn't, so it is understandable how everything played out. Sheridan and Franklin already agreed the alien device would never be used again. Not only would they never sacrifice anyone like that for Susan, she herself wouldn't agree to it. Even if someone volunteered, she would never ever go along with it. It might mess her up a little if someone did that. She is a proud soldier. They could only give Susan that respect. You can't feel for the story without some loss and B5 doesn't shy away from that. That's why it's so impactful.

2023-09-09 03:05:19 +0000 UTCOk I'll start by saying there is a bucket load to love from this episode. It's mega entertaining as it entertains Mega. Just gonna side step that moment we both thought was tonally weird, but SO typically B5 in it's regular left swing at humour inclusion. The script can do and say all it wants to, that's the writer and show runners prerogative. But we all have to live with the little annoying gripes that bug us from the moment they happen. Who's to say really what the outcome could hypothetically be either way, when the exact details are left so purposefully vague. Even so, I can't shrug the notion that Marcus could have 'potentially' made Ivanova's injuries worse by dragging and carrying her unsupported body out the wreckage without a moments assessment. I could have lived without that scene giving me that unanswerable question. The melodrama of the moment perhaps wasn't needed either, we know how he feels about her. Because now I can theoretically in part blame Marcus for hastening her current condition.
