Really? I hadn't remembered that. Then again, most of the teep stuff on b5 bothered me. It felt like "we need something to fill out the 5th season. I know, teep vs normal war!"

Ah well, I very much recommend it. Bester grows a heart, Garabaldi loses what little of one that he had.

to quote from aQoF: "Come with me, said Amanda again. "You've nowhere else to go, correct? No family gathering, no mysterious errands to the far
corners of this miserable planet."

I kind of assumed that ment that he was an orphan of some sort. Then again, if he was, survivors benifits...duh. Ok, I just didn't think that one the whole way through. Although it still doesn't fit. Him having a family and having nowhere to go that is.

And you wound up with a lover of Amanda's, plus body guard, go-fer and the like. Just out of curiosity, do you ever write up big character plans, and they wind up with a bit part, take an early out on the contract, and leave you with a hole to fill, or do you just get extras that steal scene's, walk on in the middle of closed sets, and the rest of the cast is real bloody good at improv?
