Lise (and Garibaldi's relationship with her) is one of the weakest-written bits in the entire series. She's too whiny, and I'm sorry, but a normal, well-adjusted woman does not marry someone 2 or 3 times her age unless it's for money. (if it's for other reasons, she's not "well adjusted" - she's got a father complex). I find her more annoying than Byron and his entire arc.

Additionally, why didn't she use Edgars' power/money to get custody of her child with Franz? That would be the NUMBER ONE thing a parent would do. I chalk that up to JMS not being a parent on his own, but it says volumes about Lise's character and none of it is good.

(I just "caught up" in my watching the series - acutally, I'm ahead now! So I can finally participate)
