Honestly, the point of her character is that she’s a narcissistic sociopath. She’s not a good person. She’s a cautionary tale that is specifically showing how toxic that becomes when combined with dogmatic theocracy, even in the context of a nominally progressive religion.

    You are spot on, I was looking at it from the perspective of when I first saw those episodes. To borrow from another show, Babylon 5's Comes the Inquistor - the character seems to be the anti-Delenn.

    *I actually wrote alot more in response to your comment, but the tl;dr was just as long as the response, once I'd composed my thoughts it was straying into essay territory and we're all just here for a distraction 😁

    Oh yeah, B5 is another one of my favorites. Some episodes are definitely cringey, as a lot of tv from the 90s was, but overall, it tells an incredible story.

    And I’m floored at how pertinent a lot of its cautionary tales are to how the last decade or two have unfolded.
