Badders and Anne, I don't think Andrei was suicide linked, and his desire to go to war was not suicide at all, but a desperation, self loathing, desire to escape the shallowness of society, but never suicide based. Or that's how it is in the book, all the reviews I've ever written. Haven't seen last nights episode yet, so maybe that's how it was portrayed in the to show, but if it is done intentionally that would be very odd because Tolstoy would never condone that, it goes against all his views and beliefs, so I certainly never got that from the book.
