Seriously, would a name for a recurring villain have been such an imposition? JMS could've mined Tolkien or golden-age SF writers for it..

I wasn't arguing that G'kar himself became fanatical — annoyingly serene, beatific perhaps — but that rather that the specifics of religious iconography used in a call-to-action of widespread martyrdom seemed prescient in light of later real-world events that keeps this particular plot point especially fresh some…

This pair of episodes is a perfect example of some of the best and worst-aging elements of B5.  On the one hand you have hammy old Draal walking dour old Ivanova through yet another Tolkien homage to find smoking-gun evidence of Santiago's assassination.   It's an embarrassing development that further tarnishes the…
