If you go to Z'ha'dum, you will die
I haven't written much about watching Babylon 5 because I still don't really know how to talk about it. Mostly, I just call kjabernathy and say threatening things along the lines of how I'll never forgive her if anything happens to Delenn.
What's happened is this: ( the first half, or maybe only the first quarter, ramblings about the second season )

It's the sort of touch that always gets me, the accidental touch that's meant as a gesture of friendship and closeness, something innocuous that they've done dozens of times before
That hand touching gets me every time. Not that I've rewatched that scene over and over like a shmoopy shipper or anything except I totally have. Cause it's electric and yet it isn't and everything changes in C&L and that episode. They were friends and they felt a stirring of something and then BAM it happens. And that's just the best feeling in the world. JMS is publishing books of all his B5 scripts and in the script for that scene he wrote the best description of how it should be played. Here, let me find it:
It's that moment you don't want to destroy when you're in it by calling attention to it, not admitting openly what's just entered the room.
I love that kind of moment, and that occurrence of it.
