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!)
It's petty, but I think my primary fuss about Sheridan is still that he thinks he knows her a hell of a lot better than he does, and that he always seems so "Oh no, you're still on that stuff!" whenever Delenn has something particularly Minbari that she wants/needs to do. He gives off the impression of just not getting why she can't get over it all and act like a Human, and that makes me growl a lot. I love the two of them together sometimes, but other times his reactions to her make me flail a lot. As screwed up as Lennier is (particularly where Delenn is concerned), he accepts and loves her in whole, not just in part. /shipper-rant. (And her and Susan would just be Awesome Squared, and that's all there is to it. ♥)
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.
True, true. And Character Fail is so much more forgivable (and worthy of forgiveness) than Author Fail.
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.
Gah, yeah. I... just sort of handwave that and pretend the drug somehow mimics the telepathy gene in some... strange... unknown way. Because otherwise it just makes my head hurt. Especially since it works for Narn, who supposedly don't have enough of the telepathy gene to even start a recessive pool of it.
