It's been a while since I've seen this episode BUT he wasn't dead. He was hovering between life & death.

Yes, although Lorien said he was dead. But the point I'm wondering about now is that, while Sheridan went 9 days (Z'ha'dum days anyway, according to Lorien), and wasn't hungry or thirsty, why did he apparently still need to sleep? It seems inconsistent.

I suppose maybe Lorien kinda put him to sleep, to more easily access his thoughts, but doesn't seem like Lorien would have required that either.

Science fiction is a bit like that, at least to me.

Sure there can be a lot of sloppy writing in sci-fi, as with any other genre. But sci-fi doesn't REQUIRE sloppy writing.

I like a lot of sci-fi but I also hate some of it. But I have found, at least in my experience, that if I do not overthink it, I enjoy it more.

But, I have a bad habit of picking at almost everything I watch.

It's harder to overlook some things than others.

For example, it's easier to overlook that the "gravity" at C&C should be significantly less than in "lower" areas... plus they might experience significant Coriolis Effect there... and sometimes when they looked out from C&C it was like the station wasn't turning... and sometimes they saw things they simply couldn't have seen, such as when the fighter bay blows out in "Survivors," Sinclair looks out from C&C and sees a worker in a spacesuit "flying" away from the station. There's no way that could be seen from C&C.
