Nah, I bet Crichton got a girl to help him cram so he could just manage a C in his history classes.  He was too busy taking physics, playing football, and absorbing pop culture to pay much attention to US politics.

I don't think I'd, uh, last 2 minutes in a room with either of them.

Teach, unfortunately, which is why I've been late to these reviews the past few weeks.

Also, Rygel is the king (or dominar) of funeral speeches.  There's this one, the "find your own hallowed realm" one in Season One, and spoilers at least one more down the line.

Reviews need Like buttons so I can Like (no, not lick) this one.

Nope.  I'd much rather have a few good friends who know and like me.  And if they bring a nice bottle of wine or scotch, all the better.

Snark's in the water…OUR snark.

"It pains me to say this, StarrLa, but maybe your father was right to abandon you."

Or The Crow, now that you mention it.

You won't meet yourself, but you might meet Al Bundy.

And the orgies.  Don't forget the orgies.

Count me in club Neroon, too, at least from his perspective (we know better of course).  Plus, the prophecy only took Delenn up through Sinclair/Valen going back in time.  She's flying blind from here on out.

I'd argue the show still used him as a conscience for things like SPOILERS questioning the use of telepaths as weapons.

In a strange way, that might be part of why I like the character so much.  Not everyone needs to have a giant, transformative arc.  He changed some over the series, sure, but he ended as basically the same person he was at the start.  He knew who he was (even if, as we see this week, he didn't particularly like parts…
