Love that seen, loved Marcus! And don't forget that after he knocked them all
out, he looked around the room and says "Bugger! Now I have to wait for someone
to wake up!" My fav scene with Marcus is when he took on the Minbari warrior
who was a threat to Delenn, and the guy literally beats Marcus with a stick,
severally injuring him. Marcus, gasping, bleeding, answers the warriors query
of "why are you risking your life?" with "We live for the one, we die for the
one".
this amazing sacrifice, and truer dedication to Minbari principals by a human
humbled the warrior, who changed his attitude toward Deleen. He goes to the
hospital and basically acknowledges Marcus' teaching him a lesson. Marcus,
barely conscious, whispers, "the next time you feel a need to learn a lesson,
could you try not to make it so painful"?
>From outside of the room, people in the hallway hear the Minbari's laughter.
>Great scene that showcases the best of Marcus, and matched only by his
>ultimate sacrifice on behalf of Ivanova.

Fate,
Remember Marcus' first ep on the show? He was designated to protect Delenn, and
someone shot her ten minutes into his watch. He got mad, went Down Below on the
station, and found the roughest-looking bunch he could and said that he wanted
answers and that, if he didn't get what he wanted, he would beat everyone in
the place unconscious, then wait until they woke up and repeat his request.
They laughed.
Lennier found him sometime later in that room, everyone unconscious, he failry
whomped-on but awake, stiing to one side, opening and closing his telescoping
staff. When Leenier asked him what he was doing, he said, "Well, they said I
was carrying around a lot of repressed anger."

That might have been a little hard.....
because he took Babylon 4 into the past and became Valen.
