That's what was said, in addition to the rest. Reference was made to examining
the damaged ships.

It was stated in the episode that at least one Centauri low priority ship was
attacked.

If some people are upset at the Centauri moon, that's a damned silly thing to
be upset about. Most moons are too small to have any real atmosphere, so
there's nothing to keep meteors from hitting and causing craters rather than
burning up on entry. So you're going to have pockmarks. We made it a point to
have the patterns different than our own moon. It's round because most
planetary bodies *are*. And the local sun has the same basic spectral
qualities as Sol, so you're going to get similar bounce-back on the light.

An equal amount of effort goes into making that moon or a more odd one. But
not everything has to be constantly different just to be different.

No, what you're noting is just about right.

I wanted this job to be something Sheridan grows into. He's going to make
mistakes; he's not trained for this kind of job, and errors are part of the
learning process. In Deconstruction it's noted that he said himself that the
teep situation was the worst mistake of his entire career. There were others.

The first year of any new government is rocky at best; mistakes get made,
sometimes huge ones. What he will have to do is learn from them. Even by the
last few episodes, he has his act more together; moreso as the years pass. In
some ways, and this was something I was going for in "Asunder," he's been
pulling back, trying to figure out what to do and in some ways, cutting against
his best instincts to keep things together. It's really after he blows at the
end of "Asunder" that he begins to do what he should've done all along: go with
his instincts, rather than second-guessing himself.

>Anyone see a 3? Somebody please tell me you see a 3......

As you'll see in about 24 hours, really nothing could have been done to prevent
this conflict; certain forces wanted it, and were going to have it, no matter
what. Awake or asleep, it would've been provoked somewhere, somehow.

Of course, everyone's assuming here that the awful state we find Centauri Prime
in, in WWE, is caused entirely by war....
