Jeez, I’m looking at all these text posts and seeing that my typing abilities deteriorate immensely when I’m just frothing with emotion about stuff.
Damn.

So, gloomily shoving the table to the point where all atop it falls off?
It’s really more like flipping the table while sobbing in an extremely comedic fashion.

That kills me, too. ;_; If it’s any comfort, I imagine that everything that happened with the Drakh was brought to light after his and G’Kar’s deaths and Vir spent most of his reign cleaning up Emperor Mollari’s reputation.
Jeez, I hope so. I remember thinking that the way that Vir emerged after Londo’s death was sort of weird and ominous-looking, and I was really worried about what had happened to Vir’s charming personality, as well as his future as the emperor. Like, literally nothing looked good about that situation.
Meanwhile, some clear Shit happened to G'Kar before that point as well, given the condition of his eye (again, poor dude). And then I’m like, why is G'Kar there? Does he just know? Do they have a weird fucked up link now? Had Londo been sending him covert mostly drunken messages across random space hoping to make sense and have G'Kar do what should be done because G'Kar is still a fucking pillar of honor and virtue? I feel like Delenn would be very serenely, ‘this is the universe’s way’ about things, and that she would kind of be seeing things almost in terms of the 'orbit’ thing I keep using for them. That it was just inevitable that they would be drawn more and more toward each other, doing a kind of weird bonded dance, and inevitably, they’d have to collide and both cease to be. Possibly G'Kar would feel that way about it, too, weirdly enough. But I’m just like, 'no, why were you even there, for real, like were you just in the neighborhood? did you have a Centauri parking ticket?’
it’s possible they said so in the past thing, but when I was watching it, I was legit thinking 'Darkest Timeline’, so I didn’t think a lot of it would happen and wasn’t taking anything as This Is Happening For Real Yes. Honestly, I remember seeing Londo at first during that episode and thinking, “But that’s such backwards character development for him! This has to be like DS9’s mirror-verse where they just want something as audience-reaction-y as possible” and then the more I watched things, the more I thought, 'Oh, no. That just happened which explains that thing…’ and 'Oh. Oh noooo, that thing happened too??'
crying over londo mollari 2k15
i feel like flipping a table, but sadly

i sobbed so hard when the station was blown up, oh my god. and I believed right until the very end that things wouldn’t have worked out in the future like we saw and uuuuuuugh
I KEPT BELIEVING TOO, FUCK ME
And there’s no indication anywhere of anyone but G'Kar and maybe Delenn knowing that something was up???? Did Londo’s life end with everyone thinking that he was a monster????? Like, even VIR, who stuck with Londo through ALL OF THE SHIT? Like, honestly, that people didn’t KNOW breaks my goddamn heart, I am destroyed over this. I am okay with the way he ends in a way, that he and G'Kar finish their orbit of each other by crashing into each other (“WHERE HE GOES, I GO. WHERE I GO, HE GOES.” KILL. ME.), but oh my god, WILL NO ONE KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM????
i’m still sitting in my pjs, how am i going to go buy cereal like this
“Many years ago, I worked as an intern at The Daily Show. It was among the happiest achievements of my young life to that point. I was more than a bit star-struck to be in a space among so many people I respected and admit to being tongue-tied and feeling unworthy in such company. One afternoon, Stephen Colbert came in to the office. His show was about to premiere so he hadn’t spent much time in our studio. As he walked past me at my cubicle, he stopped and said, “You’re a new face, what’s your name?” I didn’t know what to really say, so I replied, “Oh, I’m just an intern.” Colbert looked at me a moment and then said: “Just an intern? Hey, look, everybody starts somewhere. I was just an understudy at one point, but that’s just a point in time. It’s not about where you are now, or even where you hope to go, it’s who you are that matters. I’m Stephen, who are you?” I introduced myself and we shook hands. “Don’t let your place in the world dictate who you are to anyone. We all have the same merit.” Then he was gone, but his words lingered.”
aaaaaaaaaaa, someone on dA filled out a meme in which one question was ‘draw your favorite pairing like your favorite artist’ and they emulated me by drawing Garak and Bashir and putting STARS ALL OVER THEM, I am delighted
I’m not really sure how I’m supposed to go get fucking groceries now. I’m supposed to pretend to be normal somehow, I guess? I did this with DS9, too, like, seeing other people I was just, ‘HOW CAN YOU BE OKAY WHEN FICTIONAL SPACE STATIONS HAVE HAPPENED’
okay, this is like a weird reverse bow out with the envelopes, it’s kind of nice
I’m happy that Vir got one. I heart Vir.
Sorry, Sheridan, Stephen can’t figure out anything with this Target store logo laser pointer he has aimed at your chest.
Most of this episode appears to be about Sheridan, and that’s appropriate because he’s the star of the shit or whatever, but I’m mostly having a thing inside about Londo.
Aww, I love what Vir is talking about ~~ but wait, he’s in the cream stuff and
oh no wait that shit has already gone down?? I thought we’d see it again slightly reframed! I scream. I Scream.
but at least there is Ivanova?
man, i hate delenn’s hair cut about as much as i hated her getting hair in the first place
oh gross, it’s not a haircut, it’s a style? annnnd now she’s in bed and it looks like she’s wearing a massive bumpit? How does this hair even fucking happen.
Pinballing around between profound statements, emotional twirling about tragically redeemed gilded assholes, and tiny gripes about aesthetic stuff. I am a woman of class.
Man, why don’t I care about Delenn and Sheridan’s relationship? Like, the scene is nice, I am a little teary, but I just never was that excited about it.
This is one of those things that used to make me So Angry at romance when I was a kid. They had this tendency to declaw women who got married. I’m happy they didn’t do it to Ivanova because of that. There was like this idea that only a certain kind of woman could do romance, and if a sharp or interesting woman wanted to fall in love, she had to be fit into that romance shape. Like strange, angry, funny, or sharp people could not love the way they were already. It terrified me but also made me lash out angrily at anyone who liked romance as a thing. It made me think they were advocating for destroying people like me.
They retained a lot of Delenn, to their credit, but she became so much less interesting to me when she started this relationship.
Sheridan visiting the empty station is Nice. I like it. Seeing DS9 that way would have wrecked my soul, and this is very sad too, I like it.
Okay, I’ve forgotten the significance of where ever he’s going.
But there is apparently a strobe light show there.
Oh, it’s Lorien again. I thought, when he first said his name, that was teasing Sheridan and saying, “What if my name was Laurie Ann?” like giving him a super generic human name.
Bright light, okay, are you going to have a flashback montage for the audience to cry over?
No, evidently not.
Jeez, Vir, you look so much better in that white and cream than Londo did.
AND HE DID THE WAVE, AWW, SWEETIE.
I’m so happy Ivanova came back for this episode.
Okay, for real, someone turning off DS9 like this would have WRECKED MY WORLD. OH GOD, AND THEN BLOWING IT UP? WOULD HAVE FUCKING DIED. MY PARENTS WOULD HAVE HEARD ME SOBBING.
ahahhaa, my friend just walked in and caught me having weird distress, hahaaa
IVANOVAAAaaaaaaaaa aaaaa I SCREAM
Hey, Lennier didn’t exactly die, I am wow.
I howl, you guys, but ugh, okay, it is done, I no longer have to lose sleep distressed over fucking Londo and G'Kar.
In conclusion, you should all watch this. I will taste your screams and delight in them.
