thefairymelusine I watched the A Late Delivery From Avalon episode of Babylon 5 the other night, and I thought of you quirkytizzy because I remembered you quoting Marcus's speech about taking comfort in the unfairness of the universe years ago. (I prob last saw the episode as an actual child because my parents were very into Babylon 5 and it tended to be on British telly at the same time that I was eating supper, thus I watched a lot of Babylon 5 when very small. Am realising on this rewatch that the reason I found it terrifying as a small child was because it is, in fact, quite a genuinely scary show. It is not safe in the way Star Trek or Farscape is. But this is also why it is really brilliant.
Anyway, don't know if you'll see this Tizzy and I know you don't blog much these days, but it made me think of you.
(Also, what an episode! Really incredibly moving and just very kind about trauma. Also, the bits of the Arthurian legend that "Arthur" had imprinted on in it were some specific passages in Thomas Malory that I wrote about during my Masters coursework. So that made me very happy.)
