| Re: The narrator
If it were just some random person talking randomly, it would have bugged me, but, because it's Mohinder Suresh speaking, I take it as his own personal musings in reaction to the events that he was in a way a part of but in some way also just a spectator to, like G'Kar's soliloquy about the universe seeming to pause and hold its breath while Sheridan was at Z'Ha'dum. What one of the characters in the story thinks or feels about the story's events, and the other larger related themes his/her train of thought wanders off to while (s)he tries to wrap his/her mind around big amazing things, is just as much a part of the story as the more external stuff. My only complaint with it is not preachiness or anything like that, but that having a couple of them per episode just means the dramatic tool gets a bit overused and some of them didn't really seem like that was the right time to have another one. |
