As much as I enjoy Susan and Marcus's banter, and find Marcus adorable, I am torn over whether they would actually have worked out had he lived.
Agreed entirely. I adore both of them despite all their failings, and I tend more toward the side of believing that they would have worked out... but I think that's more out of a mad wish that they would (I love both of them so much!) than out of a real sense that they would work long-term. I hate to say it, but I guess I tend to have that problem with my pairings in B5, given my other favorite is the eternally-problematic John/Delenn/Lennier triad.
In terms of long-term reality, it might be best to send Lennier and Marcus off to have wacky rangerly adventures together until they both get over their obsessive passions and grow up a bit.
See, this is why in my head, she and Garibaldi totally gang up on Bester and take him down later on.

They so would.
