* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Luchenko, and apparently a lot of Earth Force brass, were of the "If wrong to be set right" frame of mind. They were loyal but wanted to take Clark down from within.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Clark is dead and freedom is restored to the Earth Alliance, but if you're expecting Sheridan to be happily welcomed back into Earth Force like he just delivered a ship full of whales, you clearly haven't been watching the show!
