I’m totally going to get a blue rose hair thing or something if I meet tumblies in person so you’ll recognize me.

Perfect, yes.  

I have fantasies of either having a convention of likeminded people on Tumblr or having some kind of art-sponsored road trip where I just drive around and meet people, trading art and whatever nerdery we share for temporary lodging.  

I actually have a button made of my last icon that I hoped to someday use for this kind of a purpose, but since I changed it, it’s no longer a proper flag and it just lives on my bag now.  

It’s just amazing to me how many people that I see faces of and then think, “Oh, wait, you’re… actually not Garak, or a flower, or a Dalek, or…”   It just becomes such a strong association after a while, it’s unreal!

I feel like if I ever got to meet a group of you in person at the same time, I’d need you all to show up wearing buttons or tshirts featuring your icons so I could properly process who you are.

This is one of the most … awkwardly gambolling episodes of television I have EVER watched.    I have no idea what they were trying to do here….  

This is a bit long, almost a review, mostly bec of writing about the Londo/G’Kar scene, but also because this episode is so damn bizarre and I’m trying to think of what to make of it narratively.

Oooh, ooh, pick me!

I really kind of enjoyed this episode, and I think it was because I really kind of felt the maintenance guy’s POV on things since all my jobs have all been kind of like theirs.  “I don’t know what they’re up to up front, I just do my shit and go.” 

I also really liked the framing and structure of it, because one of my Extreme Weaknesses is the ‘outsider perspective’ of my favorite relationships or characters.  I love other people looking at them and saying, “Wow, so um, look at this shit.”   I also love Mundane Bullshit.  The most important stuff happening in this episode is the commentary on all these relationships and seeing what they look like to people who don’t spend hours up in their shit like the show’s viewers do, not whatever random thing is attacking the station.  I LOVE that that is what takes center stage here, no matter who it’s about.

So one of the things I really kind of liked about the little quip about ‘married’ at the end of G’Kar and Londo’s scene was that it was one of those sorts of observations, but also that it was made at all and how it was made.  I feel like if either Londo or G’Kar had been female, that comment would have been completely expected from 90s TV, but I was surprised to see it come with those two, and after that particular conversation.   Usually, the ‘married couple’ joke gets made when two people fight bitterly – because thank you television for teaching me as a small child that marriage meant I was going to be forcibly stuck with someone who hated me for the rest of my life –  and of all the times that Londo and G’Kar DO fight or bicker, or tease, or generally poke at each other… this wasn’t one of them.

G’Kar: And where did you grow up, Mollari?

Londo: What?!

G’Kar: It was a simple enough question.  While I was sitting in a bomb shelter learning to hate your people. where were you spending your time as a child?  Playing in the imperial gardens? Learning Centauri table manners?  

Londo: I was… never a child.  I had responsibilities.  I’ve had responsibilities for as long as I can remember… duty… honour… family.

G’Kar: Ah… That explains a great deal.

Londo: Really?  And what exactly does it explain, G’Kar?

G’Kar: I spent my ears in one shelter after another, but sooner or later, I was able to leave the shelter, and walk out into the daylight.  You do not have that luxury.  You carry your shelter with you.  Everyday.  You did not grow up; you grew old.

Londo: …I think I will see how things are going out there.  

G’Kar: I’ll go too; good idea.  

Londo: What? Are you afraid I won’t come back G’Kar?

G’Kar:  No.  Afraid you will.

Londo: chuckles

G’Kar and Londo, exit left.

Mack: So… how long you figure they been married?

Bo: shrugs
