Or the s2 interview with Delenn - how dare the nasty reporter make Delenn cry! Except, of course, this is the same Delenn who goes head to head with Neroon, Shadows, Drakhs etc without crying, and intimidates the hell out of everyone when she wants to, so this is just cheap emotional manipulativeness on the writing's part.

In this one instance, I have to say that I had thought that was foreshadowing Delenn's own guilt about her role in the genesis of the Earth/Minbari war as elaborated upon in "Atonement."

Otherwise, I agree that the show could have been more responsible about how it portrayed certain professions. Wait until we get to "A View From the Gallery."
