The Shan'fal has definitely been stricken from my personal canon for the show. It never happened. Never.
how much Sheridan really needs to get his ass in gear in order to deserver.
FOR REAL. Dude has not earned someone so awesome. In fact, I'm not sure anyone has. (Well. Except for Ivanova, who deserves her by dint of being just as awesome. [Hmmm, I should get back to my Susan's POV fic of their AU...] And we can't forget Lennier!)
how much JMS really kind of fails sometimes, even when he's trying really hard not to fail. It's just this... fabulous subconscious FAIL that's always waiting to ambush him out of the darkness, without him ever being aware of it
I can't quite believe I'm saying this, but...I'm gonna give JMS this one, if only because I tend to interpret this as The Season of Sheridan Failing (see: all my comments on how Garibaldi is actually right), and this lines up with that. So it's not so much JMS Fail as it is Sheridan Fail, For Which JMS Then Has Delenn School Him, although there is definitely JMS Fail in relation to this topic all over the series.
(Although depending on how much of said schooling we believe Sheridan actually understood, this might be interpreted as Sheridan Acts Like Any Man Would, Delenn Gets Uppity, And We All Titter At It, but I prefer my interpretation for sanity-keeping reasons.)
I like to call this "Delenn takes out her frustrations with her fiancee on Lennier, and he does a remarkably good job of living up to it."
Hee. Or that.
Oh, god, they did, didn't they?
They did. I can decide if this or the "drug that can temporarily activate your recessive telepathy gene--even if you don't have one!--within an hour of taking it" quality of Dust is the worst bit of biology they've done on this show. Gaaaaaah.
