cavendish, bimo and estepheia. How is the download situation, guys?
Sqeeworthy thought of the day: asleyenn reported, JMS did a commentary for The Fall of Centauri Prime for season 5 of Babylon 5. He also did one for Sleeping in Light, but that was to be expected - it is after all the finale of both season and show. You know, it occurs to me that here we have yet another echo of LotR, in addition to names like Z'ha'dum and Lorien and the obviou Vir/Sam parallels: Tolkien took his leisurely time to say goodbye to all the characters after the big emotional climax on Mount Doom. The Fall of Centauri Prime is the Mount Doom of B5, with the subsequent episodes as character after character bows out being the equivalent of the last third of RotK. Sleeping in Light is of course the parallel to the Grey Havens. hobsonphile, how about a Vir icon which says "Well, I'm back"? And a Londo/G'Kar one from The Fall of Centauri Prime saying "I'm glad you're with me, here at the end of things"?
Meanwhile on the fanfic front: if it's not one space station, it's the other, true, and sometimes it's both. Whilelondo_mollari has a go at human comedy and sports, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
celestial_templ posted its new challenge. Which demanded the exploration of a character one dislikes or usually wouldn't write. Well, first I thought: But I like the entire bunch of regulars and recurring guest stars. Then I had a vision. People in the shape of my lj friends appeared to me and told me: Come one, you've complained and bitched about the Prophets often enough in your reviews. Go forth and write a Prophet.
Which I did...

Date: 2004-01-16 10:28 am (UTC)oh no, you don't...
Date: 2004-01-16 11:25 am (UTC)It is said none of the younger races can ever truly see a Vorlon. If you look at a Vorlon, you see what they want you to worship, or what they want you to fear. This is true for all the younger races.
But nobody has ever asked what the Shadows see......
More! *g*

Let me know.
No great rush.

:-(
Date: 2004-01-16 08:55 am (UTC)I wanted to get bribed also, but I began downloading only some minutes ago, so I guess, bimo will be faster ;-). This morning, I still could not find the file on e-mule :-((.
Bimo: I wonder if the avi is a work-print again, it was fun seeing an episode without special effects ;-))

Sorry to hear about the software problems. It sounds like me last summer when two computers tried to die on me. I'll have the episode in 8 weeks time!
