Went over to wibbble and elance to watch B5. World Without End fucked me up something bad (old friend!!!!!!! And Sinclair/Garibaldi OMG!), and now I'm going to watch season four. If you don't hear from me by tomorrow, I may have imploded. The way this series is going, it's a rather likely possibility.

I'm at Kingdom of the Blind and Londo keeps touching G'Kar and it's driving me insane!

To be fair, Londo is probably the most touch-friendly person on the station. He grabs Vir's chin two weeks after meeting him (Born to the Purple), and constantly puts his hands on people's shoulders and arms. Why, he does it even when he can't stand G'Kar (also in Born to the Purple, when thanking him for his "help" in finding Adira, or in By Any Means Necessary, when innocently asking whether he could help) .

On a less rational level: yep. And he interprets the simple instruction "run" as "stand there and look worried". G'Kar's interpretation of the term "bodyguard" is of course open to debate...

Well, that's true, and it's one of the reasons I adore Londo as I do.

You forgot "pound on the door and call out G'Kar's name." I fell of the chair at that point.

G'Kar's interpretation of the term "bodyguard" is of course open to debate...

G'Kar's definition of "bodyguard", as far as I've been able to tell, consists of sleeping in Londo's room (fully clothed?!?) and being all worried about Londo even though he's the one who's just fought off several guys with knives.

Better sit on the floor for all the episodes from All my dreams, torn assunder to Fall of Centauri Prime, because what he does there, and what G'Kar does, is... well, you'll see.

You did notice there is just one bed there, didn't you?*g*

ARGH! Okay, sit on the floor, with tissues ready for Fall of Centauri Prime, right.

I'm going to die, aren't I?

... I kind of assumed G'Kar was sleeping on the couch. MUST RE-WATCH EPISODE NOW.

I'm going to die, aren't I?

I'm afraid so. I still die, even after numerous viewings, though I can't do it too often. Best and most painful episode of the show, if you ask me.

On a more cheerful note:

I kind of assumed G'Kar was sleeping on the couch.

That's not what the Royal Court assumes. When Londo & G'Kar return to Centauri Prime, that one minister says stuff like whether they should wait "till you and your... companion have had a bath".

Oh. Em. Gee. (Yeah, even in the first episode they're on Centauri Prime, whatsisface relays the message from the Regent as wishing the best of luck (or something) to "you and your ... whatever." Makes me wonder what the Regent originally said.

What the Centauri think about Londo & G'Kar. (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1833103/1/) And while I'm pimping my own fanfic, since you can read it now with your state of canon knowledge, another one, set after Rising Star in season 4, has the distinction of being first Londo/G'Kar story ever (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1698097/1/). And another one has the boys playing Truth or Dare (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1460152/1/)...

Hee! I actually just read those earlier today. :D Confessions of a Biographer made me giggle like a lunatic, and the other two, awwwwwww!

<3

Thanks. I like to think of Confession as my version of Deconstruction of Falling Stars - who cares what future historians think of Sheridan? Let's hear what they think of Londo! *g*

BTW, once you're done with season 5, you have to watch the B5 TV movie In the Beginning, which is narrated by Londo and which is where you meet my unfortunate historian Luc Deradi as a kid...

Oh, I plan to! I was told to watch it between seasons four and five, but really now, could YOU stop and pause for a look at the Minbari war? I couldn't!

And okay, you've just given me a stupid Londo/G'Kar (Or just Londo&G'Kar) bunny. DAMMIT!

Happy to oblige.*g*

*shakes fish*

(Londo and G'Kar in the palace, discussing the fact that half the palace staff thinks they're together. G'Kar is most amused and cunningly encourages them. Bweeee!)

Oh, and also, have I mentioned my love for the scene where Delenn asks G'Kar to become Londo's bodyguard? They're teenaged girls, both of them, with the giggling and shite.

And the scene where she asks Londo is equally adorable, because of:

L: A symbol? And you tried that one on G'Kar?
D: Yes.
L: And he fell for it?
D: Completly.
L: Well, I suppose etc.

Anyway, Delenn has my eternal gratitude for thinking of the bodyguard thing to begin with. Given her idea that former mortal enemies can be reconciled vial having sex with each other, you can't tell me she's not up to something...

And the scene where she asks Londo is equally adorable, because of:

Yes! Because she somehow makes them both thing they got something over the other! Let me tell you, I would not want to get in Delenn's way, she's a sneaky one if she wants to be.

Given her idea that former mortal enemies can be reconciled vial having sex with each other, you can't tell me she's not up to something...

Wait, what? o_O

Let me tell you, I would not want to get in Delenn's way, she's a sneaky one if she wants to be.

One prime example of Delenn's talent in this regard you'll see some eps later when Sheridan starts a quarrel firmly convinced he's in the right, since she went behind his back etc., and ends up totally outmanoeuvred, to which JMS commented that the Jesuits have nothing on religous caste Minbari in their prime.*g*

Wait, what? o_O

See: her marriage with Sheridan and her way of believing he was her destiny. (Bear in mind here not just the Earth/Minbari war but the fact that Delenn is personally responsible for giving the "kill them all" order.) The parallels between Sheridan/Delenn and Londo/G'Kar are definitely there, and methinks Delenn would see them.

Ooooooooh!

(Of course, she can never talk to Sheridan about this. She'd be all "It worked for us" while he'd be begging Lyta to take the bad mental image from his brain. :D)
