Gems of Memory

Whelp, here's the last lurker's guide commentary.  It only took my twenty-four entries.  I don't remember there actually being a lot about the movies or Crusade, so I probably won't bother doing a post for them, though if I see anything interesting I'll pass it on.  That stated, on to the last three.  All comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.


( Objects in Motion, aka HUGS. )



( Objects at Rest, aka Never start a fight, but always finish it. )



( Sleeping in Light, aka "We did everything that we said we were going to do and nobody can take that away from us or this place." )

So that is the end.  And on Friday, I move to China.  So we'll see if I can even get on lj there (so far, everything I've seen says that it isn't blocked, but I'm not counting my chickens).  I do plan on continuing fic and I should be creating a new blog once I get there, but we'll see what I have to work with.  If I don't post tomorrow, we'll definitely meet again in a place where no shadows fall.  XD  l8r, everyone!

I am the One Who Was.  Cy is the One Who Is.  And Nar is the One Who Will Be.  We decided this because I saw it first, then I got Cy into it, and now we've gotten Nar into it.  And yes, there were some crazy nick changes involved.  <3

Anyway, you know the drill.  All comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.


( Strange Relations, aka That time Garibaldi found out Lochley's secret identity. )

( In the Kingdom of the Blind, aka the Regent is over pastels. )


( A Tragedy of Telepaths, aka Non-violence is totally not working here... )

( Phoenix Rising, aka Lyta gets an even shorter end of the stick in the AU... )


( Day of the Dead, aka meeting dead people are fun! )

( The Ragged Edge, aka Oh, here we go with the Sad Panda cuddle piles again... )

I think I'm done for the night.  I shall post more later.

You know the drill by now.  All comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.

( Between the Darkness and Light, aka GOD sent her. And don't you forget it. )

( Endgame, aka T_T )

( Rising Star, aka All love is unrequited. )

( The Deconstruction of Falling Stars, aka Sheridan has way too much fun being evil )

So thus ends season four.  It twas a good season.  <3

And he also plays I-spy games while annoying the hell out of Franklin.  XD  As always, all comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.


( Epiphanies, aka Elvis has entered the station.  )

( The Illusion of Truth, aka B5 takes on the media! Part Two. Propoganda time! )

( Atonement, aka NO MERCY. )

( Racing Mars, aka Franklin gets married. )

( Lines of Communication, aka Franklin gets laid (but not by his husband XD). )


And the ball gets rolling once again.  I am looking forward to Nar's reaction to the second half of season 4.  <3

And if you go there, you will die.  But that is totally not a shock to anyone by this point.  All comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.


( Walkabout, aka Sweedish Meatballs are the universe's one, true constant. )

( Grey 17 Is Missing, aka ALL OF CREATION IN A HANGNAIL. )

( And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place, aka One scene, millions of essays. Seriously, it could happen. )

( Shadow Dancing, aka Franklin meets himself. He's kind of a bastard. )

( Z'ha'dum, aka There is no hanging on this cliff. There is only jumping. )

On the plus side, Hour of the Wolf is next.  I love Ivanova's monologue in that one.  I want to see a fic with her and Natasha from Avengers discussing it.  Actually, I want a fic of them being badass Russians in general, but I've already posted this to Avengers Kink.  It is sadly still an orphaned plot.  But hey, Mem can dream someday.

And it's that time again.  This time, we didn't go through half the season in one sitting, lol.  These were all fairly epic episodes though, so hopefully these should be entertaining.  As always, all comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.


( Sic Transit Vir, aka they have SIX. )

( A Late Delivery from Avalon, aka They made a very satisfying THUMP when they hit the floor! )

( Ship of Tears, aka the enemy of my enemy is my friend. )

( Interludes and Examinations, aka KOSH. Oh, Kosh... )

I think I'm going to cut off on this one here, since the next two episodes are more than likely going to have lots of JMS comments and this one feels pretty long anyway.  Might as well make the split now, if I'm going to have to split them anyway.  I suppose that means I have to change the title, since the original one came from War Without End...

Alright, time to soldier on.  And yup, it all starts going to hell in this post.  As always, all comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.


( Exogenesis, aka Marcus doth kill sleep by annoying the hell out of everyone. )

( Messages from Earth, aka the Nightwatch is watching. >.> )

( Point of No Return, aka Majel Barrett plays a really wicked character. Take that, Trekkies. )

Well, damn.  It's apparently too big for one post.  I guess I'll post the last two later.

So many.  And they're only just getting started.  All comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.


( Divided Loyalties, aka so many Ivanova feels )


( The Long, Twilight Struggle, aka so many G'kar feels )



( Comes the Inquistor, aka Delenn and Sheridan feels, plus creepy guy! )


( The Fall of Night, aka no major feels, but there is Vorlon trolling! )


btw, the song in my music of choice?  It will change your life.  Go look it up on youtube.

You will.  There is no getting around it.  It must happen.  It's a frickin' fixed point in time, and there's no changing it.  So, do what the Doctor does and just don't go!  Sadly, it doesn't work like that in this show, but hey.  As usual, all comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.


( GROPOS, aka Franklin's Daddy issues really aren't as bad as they seem. )



( All Alone in the Night, aka You are the hand. No, really. You are. )



( Acts of Sacrifice, aka the episode with the "Ivanova Dance." )



( Hunter, Prey, aka that time Garibaldi wears a hat and gets really, really cranky. )



( There All Honor Lies, aka "This isn't some kind of Deep Space franchise. This place is about something!" and JMS gets his revenge. )

( And Now For a Word, aka, B5 takes on the media! Part One. )

( In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum, aka IF YOU GO TO Z'HA'DUM, YOU WILL DIE. Also, here starts the Night Watch! )

( Knives, aka that one where you find out Londo totally kicks ass in fencing and Sheridan gets all the good acid trips. )

( Confessions and Lamentations, aka "Faith Manages." )

Almost through with season 2!  Four more episodes, all of which are pretty awesome.  Divided Loyalties, with all it's femslash glory.  The Long, Twilight Struggle, which just... guh.  G'kar feels.  So. Many. G'kar feels. That's the one we keep telling Nar about to wait for, because it has one of G'kar's most captivating speeches.  His orating skillz.  They are mind blowing.  Then the last two are too spoilerish to go into.  XD  Should be lots of fun though!

So, the last three of the episodes we watched last watchalong!  Yeah, we probably watched a lot more than was healthy, but hey.  It's good stuff, so at least we have that to fall back on. It's not like we're rotting our brains by watching Twilight Marathons, or something to that extent.  JMS was always much fonder of 'making one think' rather than blind following.  XD  Anyway, all comments taken from The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.  Sound bytes are from the Down Below Sound Archive.


( Points of Departure, aka picking up the pieces. )

( Revelations, aka WEEP FOR THE FUTURE and G'kar's poetry corner! )

( The Geometry of Shadows, aka GREEN and PURPLE, plus, dreamers, shapers, singers and makers... )

On a completely unrelated note, I now ship Leela with Boudica in the tragic sense.  I'm not generally one to ship characters automatically if they aren't canon... a ship has to grow on me a bit and I'm not always convinced you can keep them truthful to the character in canon if you're going out of bounds of the show.  But I fell for Leela and Boudica hard and fast, mostly because it's a tragic sort of relationship.  I adored it.  Thank you, Big Finish, for giving me something I wasn't aware was imperative to my existence (well, Four head canon, really, but hyperbole works too). 

I blame Ivanova for my love of tragic romances.  I really do...
