concil in training if not in fact what did he mean? She had been a member of
the grey concil many years ago. Second at the end of the show when they showed
Vir signing something with a Ranger was the Ranger Zack Allen? It looked like
him. Did he become a Ranger too?

>concil in training if not in fact what did he mean?
That she had been trained as Grey Council, and that even though she was no
longer a member of the Council, hence not a member in fact anymore, that
training was still much in evidence.
>Vir signing something with a Ranger was the Ranger Zack Allen?
It was Zack but he wasn't a Ranger, he was an advisor/counselor to the throne.

The implication is that Zack is some sort of court advisor (not a
Ranger, though -- an easy mistake, since he seems to be wearing *some*
sort of pin on the left breast, but if you look closely you'll see that
it's not a Ranger insignia).

Did Delenn ever tell him of the full extent of her involvement in the
Earth-Minbar war?

forgive my paraphrasing, but I think it went something like this:
*******************************
'I went out and got the cat cleaned, and sent Lennier for some more candles,
you know how we're always running out, oh and by the way, did I tell you I
was responsible for killing several thousand of your best friends and
companions? Pass the sugar.'
She'll never tell him, because what would be the point? Apart from to ruin
what they have.
********************************
If anyone can find the original post I'd be grateful, but that was pretty
well how it went from jms. Personally, I think there ARE ways the story
could be told, and while I'm sure Sheridan would be upset at first, it would
probably be no more than she'd be upset when he tried to explain that piece
of the Black Star Ivanova gave him as a present. She was caught up in events
and feelings over which, at the start, she had no control. Humans tend to
react in the same way when someone hurts something they love for
(apparently) no reason, and I'm sure he could work out that there's a
certain inertia that kicks in after a while that would be hard to stop. Yet
stop it they did, eventually, and in the face of those who would have
finished it in a far more devastating manner. In any case, when the man
you're married to is the President and you, yourself, have no small place on
your homeworld, there's bound to be some news hungry tabloid jerk or
blackmailer who would seek out the truth and present it to them in the hopes
of stirring up trouble. In twenty years I find it hard to believe no one
ever did that because I'm sure one or both of them would have annoyed
someone sufficiently to have that raked up and slammed in their faces.
Delenn might not have told him, but I wouldn't be in the least surprised to
find out that he knew.

The Lurker's Guide for the season four episode "Atonement" at
http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/guide/075.html has:
Won't Sheridan be upset when he finds out Delenn ordered the war?
"Listen, honey, while you were out I went to the store and I bought some new
candles, you know how we're always running out, and Lennier took the cat in
to be cleaned, and oh, did I mention I was directly responsible for the
deaths of two hundred and fifty thousand of your best friends and fellow
officers? Pass the sugar."
She'll never tell him.
Because it's over...what would be the point, except to ruin what they have
now.
A search on the site for store and cat gives:

That although she was no longer actually a member of the grey council,
she had all of her grey council training to fall back on.

I didn't think that was Ranger attire. But I do think that Zack was
definitely working with or for Vir by that time.

of the grey council, she still possesses the strength of

her training for that position."

>From the episode guide at Midwinter:
(http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/guide/110.html)
Zack retired from the military and went back to Earth. Then,
years later, he re-upped and returned to the station,
where he stayed until its demise. Afterward, he joined
Vir (now Emperor of the Centauri) on Centauri Prime.
It would appear that Zack joined the Rangers after the
destruction of the station and was assigned as counsel o Vir
on Centauri Prime.

Ah. Therein lies a tale.
Perhaps it would be better to merely bear in mind that JMS does not
care to be quoted in, discussed by, or referenced by, that publication?
