I just rewatched LOTR. It was aired a few months ago so I recorded it. I watched, it, then watched it again to catch all the G'kar scenes.
Anyways, I think there is at least 1 massive flaw in it.
At the beginning, there is the matter of the punishment for what's-his-name for choosing not to sacrifice his ship. This matter is brought before the Grey Council.
Excuse me? What does the Grey Council have to do with standard Ranger discipline?
Answer: nothing.
The Grey Council let the Rangers virtually die on the vine prior to the Earth-Minbari war. They never showed any concern before. The last thing they need to do, or should be allowed to do, is meddle in the Rangers. At least on the level of discipline. There are Rangers for this. Ranger disclipine is an internal Ranger matter, and not subject to review of the Grey Council. It is beneath the Grey Coucil, who has more important things to do. How do the Rangers or the Grey Council accomplish anything if the Grey Council is on the loop for things like this.
A Ranger accused of violating Ranger traditions is a matter for the Ranger hierarchy, not the Grey Council.
OK, maybe that was a Ranger Council. Hogwash. The Rangers wouldn't create a body of 9 supervisors to oversee things. It is too unwieldy. At most there might be some comittee of 3 somewhere.
