Babylon 5, season 1, episode 3, "Born to the Purple"
It's my day off...what to do with all that time. After having exhausted my Tina Fey & Amy Poehler are awesome searches, and accidentally shutting off "The Office", I decided it was time for some B5.
Let's see what's in store, shall we?

It's such fun to read your on-the-run comments! A few scattered thoughts of my own...
G'Kar's new attaché will soon be replaced by the ineffable Na'Toth, a much better choice and the perfect foil for the ambassador: I look forward to your reactions. This lady is a bit too much... And no! You can't foist her on poor Vir! :-D
"Washed up old Republican"--is he John McCain? Ha!
LOL It's one of the many Centauri contradictions: they are a republic ruled by an Emperor...
Apart from that, some of Londo's quotes here are magnificent.
But when I look behind he mask I'm forced to wear, I see only emptiness
Re: Ivanova, Garibaldi and the comms gremlin - unexpected, wasn't it?
Yes, a good start to a deeper relationship, but only in the friendship department. For all his bluster, Michael can be a very sensitive guy, and he can say a word less rather than one too many, and Ivanova can appreciate that.
Yes, most emphatically yes: Londo is a romantic. His pining for the "good old days" is proof of it.
And last but not least: This is what happens when you do your thinking with the little head, and not the big one
Well, Centauri anatomy is a bit different. We'll talk more when you get around "The Quality of Mercy"

yep, I really liked this one. "Moon faced assassin of joy" has to be one of my favorite lines. and I did like the mask talk from Londo. I really like the Londo/G'Kar relationship, as well as the Garibaldi/ivanova one. I didn't think they'd pair up, and they don't need to, but I like the respect between them. They're so different too.
:-) re: centauri anatomy. Am I going to find out more than I ever wanted to know? Will this be like muppet sex? Because I'm not sure I can handle that...

Thankfully it does not happen in real time, because otherwise my face would betray me and possibly lead you toward some spoilers. Perish the thought! *G*
Garibaldi/Ivanova: yes, the friendship comes out of mutual respect that grows because of their differences, not despite them. You will see how these people - all of them flawed, in one way or another - will coalesce into a family, even if a bit disfunctional. Reminds you of something? ;-)

YES

NO

GOOD
Ok, I'm done replying like a Vorlon, sorry! :-)
Let's say that it will happen in a way that will be both amusing and ewww-worty.
((more evil giggles))
