I disliked her in Bab 5 initially because she was not Ivanova. I don't think JMS really had a plan for the 5th season after he rushed to finish his story up in 4 and Tracy's character was left with little of interest to do.
I've liked her more and more as I've heard her in interviews and learned more about how Ivanova left the show.

[Dawn] At least four people were killed Tuesday when a jacket wallah rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into an Afghan security checkpost near the Pakistain-Afghanistan border-crossing at Chaman, Afghan police said.
The kaboom occurred near Wesh Mandi area on the Afghan side of the border, injuring over a dozen other people, Afghan police officials said.
"The strength of the blast smashed window panes and glasses of nearby shops and houses," said a low-level Afghan official, who requested not to be named.
Security was beefed up and the border crossing was shut down for all kinds of traffic following the incident.
"We have tightened security following the suicide kaboom on the Afrghan side," an officer of the Frontier Corps, also requesting anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to the media.

Five people being held in connection with the terrorist attack on the Westgate mall in Kenya are expected to be charged in court Monday.
The Somali terror group Al-Shabaab, an affiliate of al Qaeda, claimed responsibility for the bloody four-day siege at the upscale mall in Nairobi during which at least 67 people were killed. The attack began on September 21.
Questions remain about the those who carried out the attack and the response by security forces. The exact number of people Kenyan authorities say were involved in or connected to the deadly assault has fluctuated.
As the attack unfolded, Kenyan officials said that as many as 15 gunmen were involved. On the fourth day of the siege, as the security operation wound down, President Uhuru Kenyatta said five terrorists had been killed and 11 suspects were in custody.
Last month, the Kenyan military said four gunmen died when part of the mall collapsed. It's unclear how many civilians and terrorists may still be buried beneath the concrete chunks of the collapsed section of the mall.

[Libya Herald] There were a number of festivities in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... last night, the most serious being in two different areas of Suq Al-Juma, east of the city.
The first occurred in the district's Al-Ajeelat street when members of the local deterrent force, the Quwat Al-Rada, went to arrest an alleged drugs dealer. According to local sources, there was a shootout with the alleged dealer being killed. As a result, members of his family and his friends responded by attacking a power plant and setting vehicles on fire. No one else was hurt.
Last month, the local cop shoppe was set on fire in a similar incident after the Quwat Al-Rada rubbed out another man whom they claimed was a drugs dealer.
The second, potentially more serious, clash occurred in the early hours of the morning at a checkpoint on the roundabout by the planetarium near Shara Al-Shat. A vehicle driven by Nuri Friwan, the commander of the Misrata Nosoor Battalion, based in Suq Al-Juma, was stopped by checkpoint guards. According to SSC commander Hashim Bishr, an argument developed which ended with Friwan being shot in the foot.
Members of his militia arrived shortly afterwards and started shooting at the guards, firing RPGs and using heavy anti-aircraft guns. Remarkably, no one was killed although three guards were maimed.
A truce was eventually mediated by local elders and Friwan was air-ambulanced to Tunisia. The three checkpoint guards were taken to the clinic at Mitiga airbase.
A third clash happened when one of Tripoli's battalions raided a rest house of a citizen in the Tripoli district of Ain-Zara ended up with the arrest of the person in question.a

[An Nahar] At least 35 suspects have been incarcerated Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! during the last two days over the murder of two French journalists in Mali's rebel-infested north, local government and Malian security sources told Agence La Belle France Presse on Tuesday.
Ghislaine Dupont, 57, and Claude Verlon, 55, were kidnapped and rubbed out by what French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said were "terrorist groups" in the flashpoint northeastern town of Kidal on Saturday.
"A few dozen people have been arrested on Malian territory over 48 hours in the course of the investigation related to the murder of the two French journalists," a source from the Kidal administration told AFP.
"This is encouraging. In the car abandoned not far from the scene of the crime, precious phone numbers were found. This is an important detail," the source said, without revealing if the numbers had been linked to suspects.
A member of the Malian security forces confirmed the information, putting the number of people tossed in the calaboose Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! at "at least 35".
The source told AFP evidence was "accumulating" and amounted to more than just "clues".
He said prisoners serving sentences for their involvement in the kidnapping of Frenchies Philippe Verdon and Serge Lazarevic in northern Mali in 2011 had been helping the investigation.
Verdon, who was subsequently murdered, and Lazarevic, who remains a hostage, were kidnapped in the town of Hombori by a group contracted by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), some of who were then arrested.

A Bahraini court on Sunday sentenced four people to life imprisonment and six others to 15 years in jail on charges of setting up a terror cell called Imam Army. The court acquitted 14 others of the charges. Two of the four sentenced to life were tried in absentia.
In February, Chief of Public Security Major General Tariq Al Hassan said that security intelligence information obtained by the National Security Agency indicated that a group was attempting to form a terrorist cell targeting sensitive civil and military locations as well as public figures.
A joint team was formed by the Ministry of Interior and the National Security Agency to probe the network, including its members, funding and training activities. Investigations revealed the formation of a network to set up a terrorist cell as a nucleus for what was called Imam Army to carry out acts of terror.
The network was made up of Bahraini elements inside Bahrain and abroad, in addition to members from other nationalities. Al Hassan said that four of the accused were still at large and that the competent security agencies were exerting the necessary efforts to apprehend them.
According to the confessions of the accused, the recruiting was done by two Bahrainis, Mirza Mohammed and Aqeel Jaffar, who resided in Iran. The probe revealed that the man behind them was an Iranian national, Abu Nasser, from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Major General Tariq Al Hassan revealed that the cell trained on the use of weapons, high explosives, methods to gather information, writing about and photographing locations, as well as recruitment of members.

[An Nahar] Attacks in Iraq killed 10 people on Tuesday, including eight security personnel, officials said, the latest casualties in a country-wide spike in violence that the government has failed to stem.
Iraq is mired its worst violence since 2008, a surge in bloodshed that has killed more than 5,500 people this year despite several major military operations and tightened security measures.
In the northern province of Nineveh, two separate roadside kabooms targeting army patrols killed three soldiers and maimed four others.
In djinn-infested Mosul, a policeman and a Death Eater were killed in a shootout at a checkpoint, and a policeman was rubbed out in a separate incident, police and a doctor said.
And a boom-mobile targeting a police patrol in west djinn-infested Mosulmaimed five people, including a policeman.
Just north of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... , the local head of an anti-Qaeda militia and his son were killed by gunnies, officials said.
From late-2006 onwards, Sunni tribal militias, known as the Sahwa, turned against their co-religionists in Al-Qaeda and sided with the U.S. military, helping to turn the tide of Iraq's bloody insurgency.
But Sunni bully boyz view them as traitors and frequently target them.
In the disputed northern city of Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... a boom-mobile near Iraq's main Turkmen television station killed a civilian and maimed five others, while an off-duty policeman was rubbed out while driving in the capital.
Iraq has seen mounting violence this year, coinciding with demonstrations by Sunni Musselmens against alleged ill-treatment at the hands of the Shiite-led government and security forces.
Violence so far this year has left more than 5,500 people dead, the country's worst violence since 2008, when it was emerging from a brutal sectarian war in which tens of thousands were killed.

A senior Philippine Cabinet official expressed the opinion that a ranking commander of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) who led the deadly standoff in September in Zamboanga City in Mindanao has been killed.
Secretary Voltaire Gazmin of the Department of National Defense said, "The MNLF has long been saying that Commander Habier Malik is alive but up to now they haven't shown him," adding that in this light, Malik is "obviously dead." He could be just hideously disfigured.
Senior Superintendent Edgar Danao, a senior officer in the Mindanao regional police command, agreed, saying, "If he (Malik) were alive, the MNLF would have shown a video of him to taunt the troops but so far, nothing. It's been a month and no Malik has surfaced in media." They could send off for a Phantom of the Opera mask. That'd take care of it.
More than 200 militants, policemen, soldiers and civilians were killed and dozens injured during the siege that devastated large areas of Zamboanga and displaced about 100,000 residents still living in temporary evacuation centers. Misuari's not dead, so it's gonna happen again.
Security officers have labeled Malik as a trusted aide of Nur Misuari, the leader of an MNLF faction, who allegedly ordered the attack on Zamboanga City. The initial belief that Malik had been killed arose when soldiers found his identification card on the body of MNLF militant who was slain during the siege. Did the ID match the dead guy? How common is the name?
