It's weird. And really, they sum it up for you quite nicely in Season 1 (vorlons, encounter suit, THERE IS A HOLE IN YOUR MIND).
I got that impression, yeah. I figured I'd just check it out after I finished the actual series.
Noooooooooooooooo!! Talia's just the epic victim.
She IS! There's the alternate personality, of course, plus she doesn't get through even one episode without collapsing from telepathy-related pain! I'm pretty sure that's why she annoys me so.
If Lyta had been around in "Spider in the Web" she would have, at some point, gone "OKAY, EFF THIS ISH" and started trying to kill people off herself, which would have rocked.
YES.
Okay, I don't usually watch special features, but on one of the season 2 episodes there's a hilarious commentary by [Sheridan], [Ivanova] and [Garibaldi], done 10 years later. It's the episode with the technomages, I think. Anyway, they basically say that Sheridan's like a golden retriever, just bounding around grinning at everything trying to get everyone to like him. Also, obsessed with oranges, lol.
...And now I have to rent that disc from Netflix instead of just watching it on Hulu, because that sounds awesome.
Errr... *makes horrified face of did-i-spoil-you-inappropriately?* I thought it was earlier? The whole "You are... a child... OF VALEN!" ? Um, if not, then NEVER MIND. *whistles*
AAHHHHHH!!! *attempts to forget spoilery knowledge*
Although hell, I'm so spoiled for this show that that little bit hardly matters.
Allow me to drive the ridiculousness home. "I don't mean to alarm you, but your pants are talking to you." JUST. WHUT. LOL.
Yeah, well, I'll attribute that to Sinclair being in the room. He has a ridiculousifying effect on people around him. :D
Why do you like Michael/Susan?
Partly it has to do with them being my ship during the ever-so-brief period I watched it when I was twelve and it was still in production (until I gave up because it was like season three and I was SOOOOOOO confused without the background). Mostly it's because they're just such buddies; they snark on each other, play jokes on each other, one-up each other with pessimistic remarks (I love this especially), fight in bar brawls together, flirt like crazy (especially at the beginning of S2; I'm thinking particularly of the scene in Earhart's in "A Race Through Dark Places," where she calls him cute(!), or the ending of "Gemoetry of Shadows," where he's all, "I know you intimately," and she's all, "LOLWHUT?", and then he says he meant that he knew she's never far from her link)... Insofar as either of them could really be said to have a best friend, they're best friends, and I have a big weakness for friends-to-lovers ships.
I'm always down for the alterna-ship though, you know, I would probably write it as them sexing out their angst over Talia, BUT MAYBE NOT.
Fic with them turning to each other because they're both angsting over Talia would be amazing.
