The Very Special Episode Guide...

[selenak]

After all the deeply serious analysis and confessions of fondness for tragedy, it's time for a little silliness, don't ya think?

So andrastewhite, while rewatching Babylon 5's first season, specifically, "By Any Means Necessary", found her original impressions of the episode as a new watcher, back when yours truly had just succeeded in seducing her into the fandom. The commentaries to that entry include a fascinating antrophological analysis on how alien sex works, by Andraste and c_elisa, and they contain self and hobsonphile coming up with a series of misleading TV Guide style summaries for certain B5 episodes. Be warned, we were determined to be as silly as possible. But here they are, plus some addendums, to present your very special Londo/G'Kar guide to B5. It's all true, I swear. It's just... creatively phrased.*veg*



Season 1:

Midnight on the Firing Line: Londo confesses his dreams about G'Kar to Sinclair. G'Kar offers to share a meal.

Born to the Purple: Londo's sex life causes difficulties. G'kar helps out.

By Any Means Necessary: G'Kar is upset because Londo won't give him flowers.

Signs and Portents: Londo and G'Kar meet a handsome young man who makes passes at both of them.

A Voice in the Wilderness, I: Delenn and Sinclair urge Londo to reconsider his refusal to work on his relationship with G'Kar.

Chrysalis: G'Kar's teeth are buried deeply in Londo's throat. At least, that's Londo's story.


Season 2:

Soul Mates: Londo tells G'Kar he looks good and advises him to "keep it up". G'kar speculates about being married to Londo Mollari.

Coming of Shadows: G'kar buys Londo a drink. As their relationship takes a tragic turn, the words "he betrayed me" are spoken.

The Long, Twilight Struggle: Londo strips G'kar; Sheridan intervenes before it can go any further.


Season 3:

Convictions: G'Kar serenades Londo as they share close space. Things get really hot.

Dust to Dust: G'kar gets mental and physical with Londo.

War Without End, II: Londo and G'kar get physical again. Vir finds them in an unmistakable position.

And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place: G'Kar helps Londo avenge the death of his lover.


Season 4:

Whatever Happened to Mr. Garibaldi?: Londo is surprised when G'Kar is delivered to him in chains.

The Summoning: Londo tries to convince G'kar he should be a screamer.

Rising Star: Londo offers to give G'Kar sexual pointers.


Season 5:

The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari: With Londo dreaming of him, G'kar never leaves his side. The morning after brings suprises.

A View from the Gallery: Londo and G'Kar spend some quality time together in an emergency shelter during an attack.

Strange Relations: Delenn decides to bring Londo and G'Kar together.

A Tragedy of Telepaths: Londo and G'Kar meet various ladies. Liberal use of brivari and cross-dressing jokes ensue!

Day of the Dead: Londo gets to have sex with a departed lover. G'Kar decides to sleep elsewhere in protest.

The Ragged Edge: G'Kar reveals his interest in Londo's body and spirit.

And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder: Londo and G'kar share very close space. (Again.)

Movements of Fire and Shadow: Londo refuses to leave G'Kar's side even as war is being waged all around them. G'Kar complains about Londo's snoring.

The Fall of Centauri Prime: Londo and G'kar confess their feelings for each other. Society comes between them.

Oh, I love it. I memory'd it, even. Society DOES come between them! And G'Kar, man, it's so PERVERSE he helped Londo avenge Adira, come to think of it. That there might be a good way for me to come back in to T_M -- I'm just looking for a hook...any suggestions?

Additionally, I love YOU, and becoming your friend was one of the best things to happen to me this year.

[andraste]

As I said before, these are even funnier when you know what the actual episodes are about *g*. I think my favourites here are The Long, Twilight Struggle and Convictions. So true, and yet so wrong! They're all great, though.

[janewt.livejournal.com]

"Vir finds them in an unmistakable position"....ooolg. So wrong....:)


Read andrastewhite et al.'s thread on "logistics." So glad there are so many people who'll spend hours trying to work out the evolution and psychology of tentacles! :)

I'm just looking for a hook...any suggestions?

How about this (http://www.livejournal.com/users/londo_mollari/25386.html)?

And G'Kar, man, it's so PERVERSE he helped Londo avenge Adira, come to think of it.

It absolutely is. It was fun writing the missing scene and using the line "you want me to go to Narn and commit a murder for you?!?" (or rather, a G'Karish variation thereof).*g*

*hugs*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

You are the onlie begetter, in a way, since your summary of By Any Means Necessary spawned the idea!

Come to think of it, Chris Blenkarn once did something like this for B7, with Aftermath being "Avon meets a girl on a beach, and together, they rescue Servalan".*g*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

It was an exercise in wrongness, yes. But I figured if I can make fun of the two most tragic eps (WWE and FoCP), I can do anything.*g*

And yes, I'm ever so grateful to Andraste and Elisa for working out the logistics!

[janewt.livejournal.com]

Oh no. I just thought, a propos of WWE:

"Things get uncomfortable when a drunk Londo asks his "old friend" for some manual relief."

[hobsonphile.livejournal.com]

Heee!

War Without End, II: Londo and G'kar get physical again. Vir finds them in an unmistakable position

*smacks you* So wrong, yet so true. *eg*

On an only vaguely related note, would you be up for a party at Vir's journal New Year's Day? Vir kind of accidentally invited Stark to the Celebration of Life last night. That boy gets the craziest ideas, but I know he means well. *g*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Bwahhaha. Yes, that's good, too, though I like mine just the tiniest tad better.*g*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'll be able to get online New Year's Day, alas, because I'll be skiing with the Aged Parents, in a flat with no DS9 and as far as I know only old-fashioned phone lines (i.e. without internet access. Otherwise I'd totally be up for it. If our New Year's plans change on short notice, you can count me in.

In other news, how about some address exchanges via email? For Christmassy things?

[janewt.livejournal.com]

Oh, certainly. In much better taste, for one thing, and more in keeping with TV Guide. But having suffered through the thought of the phrase "manual relief" in that connection, I had to inflict it on others. :)

[hobsonphile.livejournal.com]

Alas.

I just put out a classified ad for a Bester, so maybe by then we can come up with an excuse for Londo's absence that makes sense in plot terms.

Address exchanges: Yes! I have yours already, I think. I asked for it after Dragon, but have not sent The Gift yet. Sending an email now with mine.

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

once again -- bookmarking for when I've had a chance to watch S1 (which should be soon). seriously, what I'm most excited about with this show is "this should greatly increase my appreciation of selenak's journal -- even beyond the ridiculous level where my appreciation already stands. :)

[wychwood]

That's genius. I love it, I really do. You people have such sick minds! And an amazing ability to imitate TV Guide...

I think "Convictions" is my favourite.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

You people have such sick minds!

We try.*g*

I think "Convictions" is my favourite.

As that was one of mine, I'm glad to hear it.*veg*

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I rememeber that! "Vila and Cally almost go spare on Chenga". :-) I was going to say this reminded me a bit of that.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

LOL, that's wonderfully twisted.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

As you know, I'm all for the twisted.*g*

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Just browsing by to tell you I've seen an Emily icon!

http://www.livejournal.com/community/alias_icons/800759.html

Just in case you'd be interested. (And pssst...the alias_icons liked my icons! I'm pleased as pie.)

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And hey, deservedly so.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

As you said you wanted to read this again (http://selenak.livejournal.com/123580.html)....

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

hahaha, excellent!
