Now that the Londo essay is beta'd, I'm wondering about a title. I mean, the subtitles for the individual sections were easy - relevant quotes from the show - but what would you call an essay about Londo Mollari? Also, screencaps or no screencaps?

Meanwhile:

You know, one of these explains A LOT.

This is clearly the season for X-Men fanfic; Splintering is a great take on Xavier having that fatal accident, from Magneto's pov; and this is an excellent take on Jean Grey and the problems of intimacy for telepaths.

Now that the Londo essay is beta'd

Oops, I just sent you some other comments.

but what would you call an essay about Londo Mollari?

I wondered that too. Something Shakespearian maybe?

Also, screencaps or no screencaps?

I don't think it needs screencaps but if you wanted to use any I would definitely include Londo's dream of G'Kar strangling him and probably leave it at that.

I added your other corrections. As for a Shakespearean title - hm. Macbeth comes to mind, for obvious similarities, but I'm not sure:

"What bloody man is this?" - nah. Not really. Or?

"Sound and Fury" - but it's not a tale signifying nothing. Nah.

Or, hm, wait, how about Tolkien instead?

"Where the Shadows Lie"?

[kangeiko]

When I read 'Shakespeare', I immediately thought of something related to 'Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!'

Not sure if that lends itself easily to a title, tho...

Also, it associates Cristopher Plummer as a Klingon.*g*

Though, otoh, it would be a neat tie-in to the following: Londo nicknames his three wives Famine (Timov), Pestilence (Daggair) and Death (Mariel). Which leaves himself as the fourth Horseman - War. Naturally.

"Where the Shadows Lie"?

Yes, I think that works really well, and with several layers of possible meaning too. The Buffyverse has spoiled me, I like multiple meanings to my titles these days.

Something from Marlowe's Faust? Or Goethe's?

I like the idea of Faust. Must hunt down my Marlowe, because of course I have the Goethe in German, which won't do for a title.
