Babylon 5 query

[donutsweeper]

Jack, you won't flirt with Susan Ivanova, but you will with G'Kar? What is wrong with you?

Anyone here know B5 well enough to be able to beta a short scene between our illustrious flirt and the Narn Ambassador?

I know B5 well. send it on over!

It makes sense. Ivanova is probably giving off the Death Glares of Non-Interestedness, but G'Kar has a Human Fetish and moreover is interested in bringing telepathy back into the Narn race. As soon as he finds out Jack can get pregnant, it's a no-brainer!

*has not spent time thinking about this*

Why do I not believe you?

I'm wonder how the Doctor and G'Kar would interact. Cryptic-ness and snark abounds.

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, that sounds like an AWESOME premise. Go with it!

[tejas.livejournal.com]

G'Kar is *such* a slut. ;-) He and Jack are made for each other. ;-)

Early G'Kar, at least. *sigh* What a terrific character.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Maybe when Jack and G'Kar are done not-flirting. It still needs a final *oomph* line.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

but later he's deep and interesting... Less devious and all, but very interesting

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oops, It's not quite done, I decided I'm just not quite content with the end bit yet.

G'Kar was awesome all the way around. He brought the snark from the beginning, and then later on he brought the mystical crypticism (is that even a word?--maybe I mean the cryptical mysticism?). Also the Declaration of Principles:

*******************

The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; No matter the skin; No matter the world; No matter the star; We are one. No matter the pain; No matter the darkness; No matter the loss; No matter the fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognise this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one.

Yes! His cryptic mysticism was what I was thinking about. For all of JAck's flirting he's first and foremost interested in *people* what makes them work, why they do what they do, believe what they believe, etc... I figured he and G'Kar could really get into that sort of thing

[tejas.livejournal.com]

I *loved* the G'Kar/Molari arc. They were simply *incredible*.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

those two were tied together, weren't they? From the beginning when Mollari's a washed up, second rate diplomat and G'Kar's a untrustworthy smile to G'kar practically being a religious figure and hating the popularity while Mollari's gotten everything he thought he wanted but none of it mattered anymore.

I only have extremely vague memories of Ghost Light, from Sylvester McCoy's run...but didn't it feature two characters who were tied together on opposite ends of the evolutionary spectrum? When one was "up", the other was "down"?

G'Kar and Londo always reminded me of them. In a weird sort of way.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I don't remember it all that well, but yes- there was Light and Control and the agent that mutinied against Light...

I know what you mean- opposites, but tied together

[tejas.livejournal.com]

They were simply incredible.

And Vir, I would hope, learned from them both.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I would think so, his "Avrahami Linconi" bit (where he rescued Narns) shows that. and his friendship with Lennier probably helped too

[tejas.livejournal.com]

I *loved* their bar meetups. :-) That was a riot!

And yeah, I see Vir becoming the most revered Emperor in Centari history. Possibly even bringing back the Republic... or at least laying the ground work.

*sigh*

I really need to get these on DVD.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Lennier and Vir were hysterical with their meetups!

you can watch B5 online, nearly all the episodes, legally and everything!

Oh, damn. I know what *I'm* going to be up to while the kid's at her dad's in a week. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I would apologize, but you know it'd be insincere

[tejas.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!! I'll have to ration it. Maybe only one season a day.

:-);-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh man, S5 with Lockley would be painful that way.

I've just been watching random episodes. "My knights of the round table were men such as you. Well, maybe not exactly like you...."

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Oh, Arthur was wonderful!

And yeah, Lockley would be painful, but then she was painful at the time.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Totally and completely a wonderful character and idea for a story

Not as bad as Tamlyn Tomita's character though. *shudders* B5's first second in command (in the pilot)

[tejas.livejournal.com]

I didn't mind her too much, but then she was only there keeping Ivanova's seat warm. ;-)
