PS. Since it's been ages that anyone's posted any episode-related fanworks, I'm retiring the separate fanworks posts, and so if you have any fanworks about the episode of the week, leave the links to this post.

I haven't had a chance to rewatch it yet; but when my partner was trying to introduce me to B5, we started with "In the Beginning" and it really, really doesn't work for that. Honestly, I love ItB --now-- but the first time I saw it I was bored to tears. I agree with selenak, it works much better as fill in the blank fic than as a proper prologue to the series as a whole. When I first watched it, I kept wondering who is this Londo guy and why does he have such wierd hair? Why am I supposed to care?

Now, though, I love it so much, because I am a giant Londo fangirl. Though I (once again) agree with selenak about the Delenn storyline. I like Delenn's darkness and I wish we had seen more of it here.

Hopefully I can rewatch it properly soon and have some more thoughts!
