*nods* yeah, that's understandable. I'm kinda the other way around, I
think, in that I'm far more interested in the social issues that B5
makes reference to than I am in B5 itself. If it was just a Sci-Fi
show to me, there's no way I'd be spending all this time posting here.

I agree entirely. It seemed so obvious to me that Ivanova & Talia
*were* romantically involved, that I figured I'd go on to discuss
something different since that issue had (IMO) already been sorted.
Btw, in response to someone else's comments in the thread regarding
Talia's feelings for Ivanova, I'd imagine that the sleeper personality
couldn't invent romantic feelings altogether. Rather, Talia already
had romantic feelings for Ivanova prior to the sleeper personality
playing on them.

It's alright. It is easy to misunderstand people on the net, when all
we have to go by is verbal communication.
