Quickly, since I should have been in bed about an hour ago...
Re: Theo schooling Sheridan: YES. That bit was pretty painful, but very justified. If we could love Brad Dourif (can't be bothered to remember character's name at the moment, sorry) in spite of what he did then we ought to be able to love this other guy... and yet it does seem like such a completely different situation, doesn't it? I'm with Sheridan in finding the whole thing intensely problematic, and I'd probably be just as instinctively unwilling to do/say the right thing, but it is a very interesting and compelling moment.
I'm reminded of "Ceremonies of Light and Dark," where they go wandering around all "Anybody wanna come to our ceremony? Aaaaanybody?"
Heeeeee. They're so cute when they try to get other people interested in their rituals. ♥ I have this mental image now of the two of them going to mass with Brother Theo, and all of them being slightly bemused by the experience.
