No, your memory is correct, davem. The Vorlons wanted Law and Order, and the Shadows believed in evolution through Chaos. The analogy is not perfect, of course, since Joe wasn't trying to duplicate Tolkien, and may have only been influenced by his love of it, in this respect. Even so, to some of the Elves -- like Feanor and those who chafed under the rule and the apparent restrictions of the Valar -- they were just as bad as Melkor and his lot. The only difference was their technique, in that Melkor was right up front with his lies and manipulation, while to those who disliked them, the Valar acted more subtly, puppet-masters acting behind the scenes with the ultimate (apparent) goal of control.

And alas, I don't believe that Firefox is even available for the iPad. Time will tell.
