Great characters on that show. I really liked Lando, G'Kar,
Garibaldi, and the Ranger Marcus. Marcus was one of my favs, with his blend of
seriousness that was overlaying a fundamentally humorous view of the world.
Remember the ep when he fought a Minbari guy to protect D'lenn and the guy beat
him up badly? Later the dude realizes that Marcus was actually adhering to the
mores of Minbari culture more than he was, and visits Marcus in the hospital,
thanking him for teaching him a lesson. Marcus gasps, "The next time you feel
the need to learn a lesson, could you try to make it not so painful?" at which
point dude burst into laughter. Classic Marcus. Or there's the time when Marcus
needs information from a roomful of guys, and starts telling them how many of
them will be conscious after so many minutes if they don't cooperate. Later,
he's taken out the *whole* room, then exclaims "Oh bollocks! Now I have to wait
for someone to wake up!"
His sacrifice for Ivanova was one of the best scenes in the series...
