fannish5: Five Needing-To-Quitters

[selenak]

Five characters who should quit their jobs (and why).

1.) Severus Snape (Harry Potter). During the time canon was still open, of course. Let’s face it, Snape was a fascinating character but a really horrible teacher, even if you discount anything to do with Harry. The two most glaring proofs about Snape’s unsuitability as a teacher that come

4.) John Sheridan (Babylon 5).

"Don't blame us, we voted for G'Kar." /a significant minority of the Interstellar Alliance.

LOL!

I had actually never considered this issue at all, but it suddenly makes a lot of sense out of "Two years before he dies, he and Delenn switch jobs." She's definitely better at the leader-in-peacetime thing, and he'd probably be better at leading the Rangers than running the Alliance. Hmm.

Guess the show had to give him something to do when he got fired from his old job and Lochley got it, but I think I have to agree with you.

[lizbee]

In-universe, I'm quite convinced that the only reason Delenn or G'Kar didn't get the job was because they would have been unacceptable to the Humans and Centauri respectively. Sheridan wouldn't be the first second-rate politician to get into office as a compromise!

[nenya_kanadka]

This is indeed entirely likely. Out-universe, I suppose Delenn can't get all the important jobs even if she is my very favourite best beloved. Seeing as how she was in line for Dukhat's job, though, it makes sense she'd eventually be President in her own right. Certainly has the experience.

[lizbee]

I really love the idea that ultimately all of Dukhat's training goes into the creation and leadership of an alliance that was unimaginable in his lifetime.

[nenya_kanadka]

I think he would have been very, very proud. <3

This is a genius explanation which I shall henceforth adopt.
