Poetry is always a different sort of monster. I usually take poetry on a case by case basis. Except for anything by Walt Whitman. >.> Or transcendentalism in general. It really didn't help being related to Emerson, because that was all I got from my grandfather growing up.
But Babylon 5? No way. I can't see any wiggle room to navigate ships in. I just can't.
YES. It is that exactly. Mostly because there is no wiggle room there. The characters are all written specifically with certain kinds of relationships in mind. If there is subtext, it is because JMS wanted it there. I just... can't ship B5 at all. It just takes them way too out of character, and then it doesn't fit with the show at all either.
Sadly, it also means any venture into B5 fic summaries is going to be scarring...
