Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks for that, Tom. I didn't realize it had been 20 years. B5 was so important to me. For one thing, it's the reason I first got on the internet in '95.

Thrive to spite them
Wow. I'm so sorry that Michael O'Hare had to do deal with that level of mental illness but I'm so glad that JMS and others were so supportive of his health and well being.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It feels like vindication to me - I always liked his adult, somber portrayal of Sheridan better than Boxleitner's arrogant fratboy, and bristled when other watchers talked about O'Hare being fired for stiff acting as if that were a given.

I liked his performance so much more, too. Though I did not end up being a long-term fan of the show, he really was my favorite part of what I did watch.

In retrospective, O'Hare seemed really medicated in his comeback two-part episode.
