    And Carter is an excellent actor. I bet he's a funny guy IRL.
    Recently, there was a reckoning. It occurred on November 4, 2014 across the United States. Voters, recognizing the failures of the current leadership and fearing their unchecked abuses of power, elected another party as the new majority. This is a first step toward preventing more damage and undoing some of the damage already done. Hopefully, this is as much as will be required.

        Oh, he is. Jan and I spent an entire evening drinking with him at Dragon*Con. He loved being the center of attention, was very up front about his actor's ego, and we women were happy to oblige him (heck, I practically made out with a woman I'd just met simply for his entertainment! It was a craaaazy night!). And he's funny, and insightful. A very good mate to go down to the pub with. (And very generous with his hat. <g>)

        And for those keeping track: when he was ordering for himself, he drank dirty martinis, and Guinness on tap. Someone brought him a German beer (which he didn't turn down), but his preference seemed to be Guinness. Slainte!

            Funny, though...wasn't it the German beer that somehow got spilled? Hmmm...<g>

            Speaking of that night, Peter Jurasik is way up on my list of favorite B5 folk now. Even though he had a business appointment that his friend kept trying to drag him off to, he insisted on coming to the gathering for at least one glass of wine. VERY nice man.

              I remember a couple years ago at DragonCon I got onto a crowded elevator with him and he had obviously had a few drinks. He was going on about something, I can't remember what, but it was very funny. I remember at one point shouts, "OH MY GOD I"M HAVING A SEIZURE!". I think I actually have it on video tape somewhere...

                He also has a habit of turning any "Panel" he's on into an Audience Participation event.
                Like enrolling the Audience into a one hour "Acting Class" instead of spending the hour answering the "Same Old Questions".

                He and Richard Biggs were often "CoConspirators" in these "classes" because they ended up at so many of the same cons.

                  Well actually, he and Rick brought their acting class, "The Biggs-Carter Experience" to many cons _officially_. Although knowing those two, I'm sure it started out as a guerilla hijacking of 'normal' panels...

                    I'm not so sure. In the beginning, he was cool and collected. Nothing would rattle him. By the end, he just lost his head!

                      Although I love the character I would like to suggest that Mr. Morden didn't grow at all. He was altered, that's something different I would say.

                        I have to agree. Mr. Morden was unique.

                        He was willing to Murder Billions of innocents in the name of "Love".

                        Ironicaly, I suspect that, if the Shadows had actually kept their promise to him, his reward would have been Horror, Rejection and Disgust on the part of the people he did it all For.

                        (Those who don't understatnd WHY Mr. Morden was willing to work for the Shadows need to read the Book. It's all explained.)

                          Yes yes! And then look for the necklace he always wears. Very important detail, that necklace.....but not a detail a viewer of the series will understand. READ!
