Babylon 5

[edit] Family trapped by a black hole?

68.225.171.78's November 2005 insertion, re Morden choosing to serve the Shadows so that they'd save his trapped family . . . I certainly don't remember anything along those lines coming up during the show proper. Is it from some novel or comic? If so, am I right that the standard way to deal with stuff like that is to distance it a little from the "canonical" info from the TV show itself?

I don't want to just revert it, but it does seem a little odd to me. Not really in keeping with the way he's played on the show itself, for one thing--it doesn't really seem like he's meant to come off as a guy whose thoughts and motivations are particularly human, when we see him.

It's from a novel: Babylon 5: The Shadow Within by Jeanne Cavelos, which JMS considers canonical. Cheers, Chris Chittleborough 00:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
