B5: Revelations

[icepixie]

- Can you just hear the ominous music playing all through this one? PsiCorp, Eeeeeevil President Clark, Shadows... Nevertheless, I was riveted.

- Londo. Loooondo, Londo, Londo. I used to like you. Now I would like to hurt you.

- Alas, the new Na'Toth is not as entertaining as the old one. Maybe she gets better.

- I...kind of think Delenn looked better as a full Minbari? Not that she doesn't look good now, but the headbone was nifty. (Speaking of Minbari, something I've been wondering. I hear this is in part based on LOTR, so...are they supposed to be the elves? I'm guessing there isn't much in the way of one-to-one correspondance, but still.)

- I'm still over here quietly shipping Ivanova/Garibaldi, despite knowing it's doomed to be frustrated. They were sweet together when he woke up.

- G'Kar! You quoted Yeats, and have thus endeared yourself even more to me than you did when you sang Narn operetta! (Although if I were Yeats, I would get tired of people quoting that particular poem every twenty minutes. It has to be the most over-quoted piece of verse ever written, surely.)

BTW, rowdycamels? Did you ever watch this show? If not, I think as penance for dragging me into Bones and now Castle, you should watch some of it.

I think what bothers me about the overquoting is that to me, it is so very much of its time (immediately post-WWI) that it's odd to see it in other contexts. Although it does fit perfectly in B5.

It's used in the miniseries of The Stand. I think it works there, too. But yeah, it's pretty much the universal post-Great War voice.
