The sad thing is that Doyle actually had Claudia Christian appear on his show to talk about treating alcoholism with naltrexone (she wrote a memoir on the subject), but either it didn’t work for him or he never tried it.

Naltrexone also doesn't work for a lot of people.

I'm still a little annoyed that the guy that is teasing that stuff is basically holding the assets hostage and e-begging for a new PC. I don't trust a person that's kept this stuff tucked away for years on some ancient rear end desktop to actually be able to upgrade the machine in a way that doesnt end up with the files lost again. Zip em up, put them somewhere for download, and drop some links anonymously if they're afraid of some sort of legal backlash. The community would have access, and be able to spit the whole shebang out in a couple of days.

You know, I'm continuing to watch Season 2, just watched A Distant Star, and I just realized something more deeply than I had in previous viewings: Clark chose the absolute worst replacement for Sinclair he could possibly find. Santiago absolutely did not have Sheridan in mind, that was yet another lie. Sheridan, someone the Minbari not only did not approve of but actively hated for his actions in the war, someone who, as his former mentor Maynard notes, has nothing in his record to suggest that he would be anything other than a disaster in a desk job. They wanted B5 to collapse, it's a failure of theirs that they misjudged him so. Edited for mixing up the Presidents. Absurd Alhazred fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Mar 8, 2019 |

It wasn't actually a simple mistake, you're forgetting the whole assignment was a setup by the faction in the Earth Alliance trying to prove Santiago was murdered by Clark. Sheridan was bumped to the top of the list because they made his resume look hard-line career military so Clark would jump on him as the ideal choice sight-unseen.

I'm probably not far enough into the rewatch yet. But even if his resume was altered, they still took existing elements and exacerbated them, rather than inventing them out of whole cloth, and I like how that's emphasized all the way. Edit: And there it is, in A Race Through Dark Places, it ends with Bester complaining to Winters that he'd been told Sheridan would be supportive of the Corps. Even before that, in Spider in the Web, Senator Malory Archer seems surprised when he pushes back against spying on civilian Mars-related negotiations. They really were sold a bill of goods.

Now comes All Alone in the Night, where we are told that General Hague is in on the fact that Sherdian's record was misleading, but there's nothing about it being altered in any way. Also I'm not sure about this "I've been waiting for six months" and then Hague talking about "since Santiago's assassination". Was this brewing before the assassination? If Sheridan was supposed to intentionally pose as the right kind of guy for the Clark conspiracy, why did he butt heads with them so much?

If Sheridan was supposed to intentionally pose as the right kind of guy for the Clark conspiracy, why did he butt heads with them so much? It didn't take Sheridan long to realize Clark was a piece of poo poo. I think the first hint was Garibaldi uncovering the conspiracy of Clark being behind the assassination of Santiago after coming out of a coma. Also quite a coincidence that all communication frequencies were jammed right as the assassination took place. Also there was the episode where Garibaldi remembered who shot in him in the back thanks to Talia. The guy who shot Garibaldi in the back was sent to the brig. Then Clark personally told the B5 to hand him and the evidence over to Earth Gov officials so they can "investigate" about this guy knowing the conspiracy of Santiago's assassination. The guy who shot Garibaldi in the back told Sheridan that he's messing with stuff far bigger than him, then did the Psi Corp salute as he was sent off. When he was sent off, he was transferred to an unregistered Earth Gov ship. So now B5 lost some evidence of the conspiracy. His good bud Hague also discussed how poo poo's going down in Earth Gov. I know Babylon 5 drops nuggets of information here and there so it's hard to remember when and where bits of info are dropped, but I think at this point Sheridan thinks something is wrong but hasn't gone against Clark and Earth Gov. At this point he's been keeping a close eye on stuff. ijii fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Mar 10, 2019 |

ijii posted:Clark probably didn't have a person willing to take over B5 at the time that knew he was going to murder hundreds of people, including Santiago. So he probably thought the one and only guy who lead the only victory against Minbar was the best choice. Someone who he thought would butt heads against major alien influences and bow down to the human Earth Gov. You forgot a big part of the early part of season 2 then - Sheridan knew Clark was bullshit from the get-go and got himself assigned to B5 on purpose by the EA faction trying to prove the murder. The whole point of his assignment to B5 was to help them get dirt on Clark.
