In the past two weeks, I've managed to convert my roommate Nathan into an
avid BABYLON 5 fan.  (Actually, your story did that...I just reran the
shows.)  All along the way, he's been asking questions, and I've done my
best to answer them.  Until last night.  He came up with a question that
stomped me, so I said, "I'll just ask the creator."

Nathan (dumbfounded) said, "You can do that?"

My reply: "Sure, he answers all kinds of questions."



Nathan wants to know why Ivanova, a Russian, does not have an accent.

Thanks.

She has an accent, it's just a different one than Londo has.  There
are many Centauri accents, we've seen a good number of them over the
years.  Even Vir and Londo have different accents.

As Ivanova's mentioned from time to time, she was born in the Russian
Consortium but raised mainly outside the country, from boarding school to
boarding school, to keep her one step ahead of the Psi Corps.
