Well, that young admirer of G'Kar who made the statues (and later tried to kill G'Kar)
reminded me of the creepy kind of hard-core fan stars and writers complain about.
Such as in Harlan Ellison's essay "Xenogenesis."  In my mind, the scene where G'Kar breaks
the statuette of himself had a strong subtext...a message meant precisely for those
(hopefully, few) B5 fans who might have a screw or two loose.  Was the scene Harlan's
idea, and if so, did he write the scene?

The general notion of the thread came up between us.  The actual scenes were
written by me.
