I'm not sure she is my *favourite* sci-fi character, but she made an indelible impression. Susan Ivanovna (Babylon 5) was a sharp-tongued, no-nonsense Earth Force officer. She lost her brother in the Mimbari War (and hence only wore a single earring ... a physical detail that the series didn't explain until it was over 3 years in), and hid her emotions under a scuff Russian exterior. But she, at her heart, was also a romantic - whose experiences with love were chronically tragic, making her gunshy to share her heart or open up to anyone. She was tough as nails. And best summed up by the "Babylon 5" mantra she coined in the first season as pictured here. The actress did not return for the fifth season - and that season suffered as a result. I often wonder what that season would have been like with her in command of the station. The series finale was filmed before the fifth season, so we saw what happened to her eventually. She was chief of staff of the Earth Force and was weary of the politics. She was a *warrior*, not a bureaucrat. And she still carried a heavy heart. At the end of the episode, it was revealed that she retired from the Earth Force and became the head of the Rangers - an interplanetary elite force designed to help maintain the peace through the Alliance. Fitting ending as well, as the one man who loved her enough to give his life force for her (despite the fact she never even gave him a courtesy shag), was a Ranger. We live for the One. We die for the One.

I want to give up, there is no point in going on. No matter what I do, it will never be enough, be it work or love even just friends. There is no point. Some people have it easy, even if they are scum, they have it all. I've got the hard work and you are such a great person and that is all.

Started a rewatch of Farscape tonight. I can't tell you how many times I've seen it, but this show never gets old. (edited)
