ha ha haaaa, the incidental music just hit the two same opening notes as ‘let it go’ and I legit thought it was going to start playing over the Captain and Sheridan talking.
Hey, here’s Vir! <3
Oh, it’s G'Kar’s weird guy. He’s going to make you the new Ambassdor, of course, of course. So it’ll be this weird looking dude and Vir, and I want to say Lennier, but I still think I remember knowing he dies as a kid. I still brace for it every time he’s on the screen.
I read an Amazon review the other night from someone who was like, “The only characters I connected with emotionally were G'Kar, Londo, Vir, and Lennier” and I was just like 'yeeeeeah, bro, add Ivanova to that, with a dash of earlier seasons Delenn, and I’m with you’
okay, this is the 'assigning replacements’ episode, evidently.
I’m happy that so many of the new positions are going to women, though. New Doctor, Captain, and Intelligence personnel are all ladies. That’s a good.
oh no, Lennier’s here, which makes me happy and worries me
You know, they have taken Lennier a liiiiiiiiittle too close to a guy upset about friendzoning for comfort. He is skirting some lines that are super uncomfortable here. It was okay when they were going for sad, but now he seems mildly resentful and that’s super sticky.
Delenn’s goodbye is elegant, of course.
I don’t know, you guys, I’m too upset about Londo to be feeling the same emotional devastation about everyone leaving here as I did about everyone leaving DS9. I thought, somewhat shittily, last night, that part of it was just that B5 was not as beautiful or elegant a design as DS9, haha. I see DS9 and I’m struck in the chest with love for it as a place. I don’t get the same looking at the shape of B5.
Though this parting scan of the new crew is Beautiful, well-fucking-done.
This feels so ending-y and yet I have one and half episodes left, what shit will be done?? I feel like shaking the screen. "JUST GIVE IT TO ME, B5, I CAN TAKE IT YOU BASTARD, I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME SUFFER AGAIN BEFORE THIS ENDS"
ahahaha, something is about to explode and Lennier is on board, I have a feeeeeling
whoa, whoa, whoa, holy balls Lennier wait, I was not expecting you to do this thing??? Londo would be disappointed in you, bro. When even Londo thinks you are being shitty, you may want to reconsider your life choices.
oh okay, he went back, whew
but now there is a StareDown, fuck
AND HE IS ON A LITTLE SHIP BY HIMSELF, LENNIER, HONEY, NO, THIS IS A BAD.
yay, i’m glad there’s still some shit happening. as much as things hurt me, I’m sitting here welcoming it, haha
