Marcus Cole - dead or alive?
I’ve just been watching my DVDs of Babylon 5, series 5. (If you’re not a fan of this series, stop reading now – it’ll bore you 
) The interesting thing is that I spotted the “Easter Egg” on the Special Features disc, which is a little piece that clears up what really happened to Marcus Cole. Marcus, if you remember, was the ranger who (because of his great love for her) gave his life so that Susan Ivanova could be healed of her fatal injuries. The question has always been, though, is Marcus really dead or was he cryogenically frozen (as is alluded to in the episode)?
The answer? He’s frozen – dead, but not completely so. JMS (the creator of the series) has written a short story telling what happens to Marcus. He is revived about 500 years later, and has the chance to recreate Ivanova (presumably, with the same technology we saw used in Deconstruction of Falling Stars). He does so, and they live happily ever after together. No, really – JMS is just an old softy, really!
Not a terribly important thing, really, but it made me happy
