It would be awesome. The Minbari would be all, "What the hell?"
I kind of want to see this, now, purely for the Minbari reaction. They would be so perplexed.
I'm definitely skipping the ones heaviest on Byron.
Yeah. I'm just going to have to sit The Boy down and say "Look, you have a choice. You can skip these episodes, you can watch them on your own while I'm working on other stuff... or you can listen to me bitch and moan for full episodes at a time about how much I hate this guy. Last time, I got so angry that I covered my head with a blanket and started chanting "die, die, die, die, die" by the end of this arc. It's your choice."
...I had forgotten about that part. Ack.
It's a small thing on a show that, over all, is generally pretty good about gender issues... but yeah, it annoys the hell out of me. That, and every time we see someone attacking non-military targets we have to get someone commenting that there were "women and children" there. I know it's one of those phrases that people use without even thinking about it, but it always makes me grit my teeth. How about the phrase "unarmed civilians" or something? Please?
