As a final reference point for Sheridan and Delenn themselves, those two are decisive, dynamic, optimistic, strong-willed and rather inquisitive between them... quite a bit like Ash and Dawn, I think. The Serebii Pearlshipping thread may have gone quiet, but between Babylon 5's influence on my overall way of thinking about life and liberty and Sarah Palin's basic confidence in the American spirit, I find that my support for Ash and Dawn's romantic friendship has been holding up quite steady. It may be quite a set of events to ponder, and that might assume that one is considering those events by, in, and of themselves. In my case, however, I grasped their true significance for my mindset when I factored Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's world-ending evil and Kim Jong-Il's nuclear nightmare into my considerations about those events, all after my political awareness in real life, as opposed to fiction, was violently activated on September 11, 2001, almost exactly eight years ago. I hope to be able to inform you and the other Pearlshippers of what I've learned about Palin's optimism soon, as well as perhaps even offer some observations about that terrible yet fateful day, but for now, I will wish you success and good luck in any endeavors you are undertaking.
