JMS speaks:
The most entertaining thing for a writer is creating a character; the second most entertaining thing is killing off a character. Believe me, as you'll see in the Fight To The Death in the pilot, I have no problem dropping a body. And as far as I'm concerned, only 2 or 3 characters in this series are indispensible...* the rest are open to all kinds of interesting fates.

(Не зря, ох, не зря его все актёры боялись. Убьет ведь персонажа и рука не дрогнет. =) Хотя меня бы пугало даже "all kinds of interesting fates", не то что смерть.)
* indispensible - indispensable
