tpau is rewatching season two of B5 currently, and she just got to Comes the Inquisitor, and episode I never particularly liked. And in fact I still don't care for it, but wandering through while she had it on made me realize something that should have been quite obvious: the core of Midnight Nation is a reworking of this episode. Obviously the setting is closer to Neverwhere than B5, and there are elements which are new and different, but the central sequence is the same. Hmm.

Yeah, JMS is not at all above re-using tropes. Which has got me on the verge of dropping Fantastic Four, because Reed Richards should not have the same lines as Delenn.

Neil Gaiman does it too, and I find it just as annoying. American Gods revisits ground well-trod in Sandman. Now, that I think about it, so does Joss Wheadon. Serenity/Firefly has an awful lot of Buffy in it.

Oh well, they can't all be Alan Moore...
