Obviously, I need B5 icons.

1. Wow, does BSG kinda look shabby in their Post-Apocalyptic/War Torn/Politics R Us-ness when compared to, say, even season two of Bab5. I mean, I buy the B5 politics. I reaaaally have never bought the BSG ones.

2. I would like an Ivanova. Possibly only for cuddles.

3. Vir pwns even Billy (sorry, A.j.), but he certainly bitch-slaps Tory. Lennier is also awesome.

4. Poor Jack the Ripper, THIS IS THE WORLD'S SMALLET VIOLIN, and it's PLAYING FOR YOU, man. Really.

5. I...miss Talia. I really don't miss Lyta.

I worshipped Ivanova, and Marcus.

I loved Lennier and never forgave JMS

And G'Kar simply rocked

G'Kar is the best.

Are you just watching this for the first time, or is this a review?

JMS does politics well, generally speaking. (Though I have him on notice for the Civil War Spider-man storyline).

Re-watching (I'm missing my crack show, and it's been about a year since I watched it, and I obviously need a steady diet of good SF or my brain dies).

I'd like to think Billy would have eventually been on equal footing with Vir, but then I remember him doing a little dance at the emperor's piked head and go "...out of your league, sweetie pie. I'm okay with that though."

I'd bet Vir could take Billy under his wing, and then? Then we should all worry. (Or probably we shouldn't worry; the world will be highly organized and everything will be taken care of perfectly.)

Oh, I think Vir and Billy would get on as a house on fire. And! And! The trains would run on time! And the world would not be run by scary homicidal people! Just... wacky people who know enough to let the day to day bits and bobs rest in the hands of Billy and Vir.

I... totally want them to hang out now.

Mom doesn't have Londo's. Um. Let's just say, Londo succeeded in doing far worse than almost infecting an entire race with plague.

But Vir and Billy would so take over the world.

[identity profile] aj.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
She doesn't. Yet. Believe it or not, she hasn't had the nurturing to be as truly... ruthless as Londo is. To her, the worst thing that can happen is stamping out the last bits of her little fleet. And there are so few of them.. well. In the end, it would just be kind of sad, but the holocaust has already happened.

There is no worse, exactly, for Mom. It's kind of academic at this point.

Londo had everything to lose. And he... managed to not lose it. At a pretty hard price, sure, but. Still.

And they WOULD. But no one would notice or mind. They'd just be all "Huh. You know, everything seems to work better these days. Cool." and go about their day.

OMG, I LOVE BILLY AND VIR.

At least Talia got a good send-off.

I just kept hoping they'd bring evil!Talia back, but given the circumstances behind-the-scenes, yeah, that wasn't going to happen. Plotwise, though, DAMN, did that rock.

YES.

[identity profile] lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com 2007-04-15 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
1. yes. For one thing, BSG has never really figured out that 40,000 people is only a town. Roslin's a MAYOR, not a president.

2. Ivanova should rule part of the galaxy. (only a part, because obviously Sinclair is going to rule the entire thing)

3. Vir is awesome. Though I'm convinced that the whole smuggling-Narn plan was cooked up between him and Sinclair while Vir was on Minbar.

4. LOL

5. I generally liked Lyta, but she really should've stood up for herself more. Talia was cool.
ext_18106: (Romana ftw)

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2007-04-15 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
1. 250,000 people! Suck that, Roslin.
2. She should. And she'd stomp on stupid people and be generally awesome.
5. See, and that's my thing. Lyta was always so passive. If I were reading a novel and she was the main character, I'd throw the novel at the wall and stop reading.

I may. I need to poke around for some images to make them from, too. hrm.

I love Babylon 5.

Ivanova is my hero. There's so many wonderful moments with her.

JMS is incredible. I wanted to kill him a few times for what he did to us, but Sleeping in Light made up for most of it.

She's quite awesome, really. And while I might wish B5 had more women, at least the ones they have are well-drawn and pretty awesome.

Yeah, but at least JMS had a plan.

YES. IT IS AWESOME.

Also. Garibaldi so wants Talia.
