B5, and rambling.
Jul. 22nd, 2004 03:10 pmI hereby renounce anything I might ever have said about Angel not being as good as it used to be. I don't know what season we're on, and I don't know what the episode was called, but they were trying to bring back Angelus so they could defeat that magma-demon thing and then they didn't and then everything all worked out happy and "Isn't it great to be a team, everyone!" - and then, the ending. Um. Wow.
Anyway. A 2am conversation about Spike, Angel, Hannibal Lecter and Heathcliff, and why the obsession with making the bad guys not-so-bad these days (which is a post for another day, but an interesting one) turned into a grumble about Wuthering Heights being seen as 'just a love story'. (As in - if you cut out half the book in your film adaptation so that Heathcliff is Not So Bad After All, Really, then it's boring.) And then sitting around all day waiting for some furniture to arrive, and couldn't get any work done, and was Thinking. (Plus, it's occured to me that the two other Delenn/Lennier shippers in the fandom (numbers are growing! yay!) have interesting Lennier posts, and I don't. Can't promise this one will be as interesting or anything, and it turned out to be more about Delenn than Lennier, but here it is anyway.)
So:
( Delenn, Lennier, Sheridan, and what I think that whole thing was about. )
