We miss you, too. Hurry back so you can help with the Londo/G'Kar Fic Of Doom. (Which is stalled at the moment, but I got a fair way into the second draft before that. Now I'm taking a quick break and finishing a couple of other things.)
Now when I see Londo Mollari on screen I feel a strange, romantic, physical, almost erotic pull toward him, which is totally twisted and perverse considering he's a middle-aged paunchy pasty Centauri with some severe psychological issues and a very literal monkey on his back.
Ah, but he's a charming, loveable Centauri. Which counts for so much.
I remember a time when I thought tentacle pr0n was only for weird anime fans (not that I'm not a weird anime fan, but you know what I mean). And it was only a year ago.
It turns out B5 has some of the strongest, most intelligent, most complicated female characters on TV. I'm sure I always knew that, but it hit me during this last farewell tour somehow more than ever. I mean, dude.
I know! And there are so many of them, compared to almost every other show I know. This is something I've been noticing watching Season One again - women just keep showing up, as business people and union negotiators and former warlords and fighter pilots. There are still a few things that bug me (I have a vid to make about the big one) but compared to TV in general? I wish TV writers were forced to sit down and watch a few B5 episodes.
