Nothing wrong with 'Volcano' other than, well, yaaaaaawn!
I do think he overdoes the fun and underestimates the dark side. He talks, for instance, of joky Star Trek-type endings - to my memory, admittedly growing rapidly senile, it only happened three times, which is one reason they jar so badly.
'Children of Auron' comes to mind (*wince*), as well as the one about the gag about the intelligent flea (that's 'Trial', IIRC) but you're right - surely if there's one thing that makes B7 memorable it's the bloody depressing endings!
