Or, to put it another way, how would JMS or Babylon 5 fans feel if
there was an official spin-off series where Delenn had secretly had
Morden's baby behind Sheridan's back?  He would be outraged that
someone had changed the intention of his story, and trashed it in the
process!!!  He has often stated he hates being rewritten - so why is
he rewriting other writers' classic tales from 30 years ago?  He is
almost the very definition of a hypocrite...
