Ivanova/Marcus – I’m reminded again of why I do not like the pairing. If you’re going to hide behind a foreign language even when on a mission with a <50% chance of survival… yeah, it wasn’t ever going to work out.

Well, Marcus did identify himself with Galahad, which really says it all. :) (More seriously, I think he and Ivanova make reasonably good friends, but he's obviously into the longing, not into the having, and on her side, she came acoss as fond, very fond towards the end, but not attracted, if that makes sense.)

Sheridan's dream: suffers by comparison because Londo's dreams are just more impressive with the actual foreshadowing and the snark (Londo's "the metaphor is getting a big thick" in 5.2.). *g* I remember being somewhat intrigued during first broadcast but disappointed by the way it turned out to be, as you say, not that important. Though it does say something interesting that Kosh bothered with the dream sending during the abduction.

Baby Shadow ship: no, you're not the only one.
