O escritor da série J. Michael Straczynski discute especificamente essas questões no Guia do Lurker do inverno ;
MW : Couldn't Ironheart have removed Control? Was Talia the original personality?
JMS : Control was the construct. The alternate personality was dormant at the time Ironheart was there. Remember that Ironheart was not seeing Talia under the best of conditions...he was fighting hard NOT to use his abilities, for any reason, because it created mindquakes...he was pulling everything IN. And later he was shot, also not a good position.
MW: Does Psi Corps have Talia's gift now? Isn't that a problem?
JMS: Logically, yes, that would eventually pose a problem.
MW : Was the new personality formed by modifying Talia's, or was it created from scratch?
JMS : I'd rather let this aspect slide for the moment.
Como você pode ver na entrevista, ele basicamente admite que a maneira pela qual seu personagem foi removido era desajeitada e fazia pouco sentido. Originalmente a personalidade de "controle" seria Laurel Takashima mas quando seu personagem foi removido (após um único episódio) ele saiu no sub-enredo da personalidade alternativa como um metafórico alçapão , convenientemente permitindo-lhe remover um ator problemático mais adiante na estrada.
