We have that fresh, new species smell.

Considering the early Londo/Vir dynamic, it's a really disturbing thought that Londo actually ends up doing best by Vir. Brrrr.

You know, Andreas Katsulas reminds me most of my brother-in-law, who is also a baby whisperer.

I can imagine times for sure where Minbari from different castes or clans would have reasons for their families *not* to know about their romances...

Now if only Stephanie Meyers had the *same* power of felicitous coincidence in play when she was writing Breaking Dawn...

So THAT was the reason for that look on Delenn's face when she sees Sheridan the first time. Umm..umm..good.

As for Londo & Vir, I heard that theory on the podcast I think. When Londo sends Vir away to Minbar, to get him out of his hair and maybe to protect him too. It's kind of sweet, in a way. And really Vir gets the best of it in the end; poor old Na'toth has to go into recovery after being forgotten in jail, and Lennier's sad fate as teep bait.

Minbari mixed marriages...innovation or aberration? Next, on Oprah.

teep bait? When does he become teep bait and where can I read about it?
