No wonder he was so fascinated with abusive systems and people overcoming them.
Yeah! It was really interesting to read the memoir with the B5 rewatch fairly fresh in my mind, because it was illuminating in some respects (but also mind-boggling in others, because it was so hard to believe that someone with his horrific upbringing would end up so compassionate and even-handed about some stuff that had to have hit close to home when he was writing it...)
Yeah, in this case I don't mind the lack of fallout (in general) for the brainwashing storyline and Garibaldi's estrangement from the other characters because I didn't really like that storyline
Yeah, same. I was happy for that part to just sort of peter out, more puzzled about what the point of it had been in the first place, but learning that the point of it presumably got lost when Ivanova left the show puts that question to rest, and I'm happy with the result.
