Ugh, I hated that mission so much. Why would Ms. Liberty, whose mother had just been killed (in SSA1), waste a one-shot resurrection spell on Red Widow? So stupid.

At least the villain version made a tiny bit more sense. Not much, but a little.

The only way it made any sense to me is if I thought of it as non-canon.  Because other then that you are right.  Suspension of disbelief is one thing in a story but wasting a resurrection spell on Red Widow and not her own mother is just too stupid to suspend.

Maybe it was in her mother's will.

"To my daughter, I leave the responsibility of resurrecting Red Widow.  Under no circumstances are you allowed to resurrect me."

Hey, it makes just about as much sense.

As far as I'm aware, Sinclair held the rank of Lt. Commander when he gained the post of commander of Babylon 5.  Sheridan held the rank of Captain when he was the captain of the Agamemnon and later when he was appointed to the post of commander of Babylon 5.
Popping in late on this one, but the fact that Sheridan was addressed as 'Captain' while he was in command of the Agammemnon is not an indication of his rank; by long-standing tradition, the person in command of a warship is always addressed as 'Captain' aboard ship, regardless of his actual rank (related to this, any military officer with the actual rank of Captain is addressed as one rank higher -- Commodore/Admiral for Navy, Major for Army/Air Force -- because there can only be one captain aboard a ship).

While Sheridan was in charge of B5, he was still addressed as Captain, and not Commander.

That was because he held the rank of captain. I see where the confusion is coming from, on a navel ship no matter the rank unless it is an admiral, the person is referred  to as captain. However, on a base like B5,they would called by the rank they held.

Correct, Sheridan had the rank of Captain on both the Agamemnon and B5.

It was a trick answer. PA and an unnamed Titan mod were going to wait til this conversation had a few more responses then delete it all. You're playing the correct question.
