Oh, awesome. G'Kar would *so* do that! Because, yes, he understands the value of heroes, and of truth over facts. And yay for Lyta finding somewhere to stay; she gets a really raw deal in canon, I think (though I can mostly see why it happened...). And, ahaha, I can just see her being cryptic at Rodney (and they thought the *Ancients* were bad!).
Well... the bits of S5 that weren't about Byron (deathdeathstabbitydeath), or Lennier's crazy brainstorm, are really good. I'd heard so many bad things about it, but the Londo-and-G'Kar scenes in particular are *awesome*. And Day of the Dead is an excellent episode - kudos to Neil Gaiman :)

I *love* your icon. And I don't even like R&Z, but No.5 is awesome.
I find that S5 plays better both with foreknowledge and in marathon. The telepath arc no longer takes, what eight, nine weeks? I mean, I *liked* the telepath plots and it was too long even for me.
Between the initial loss of Lyta and changeover to Talia, the "only bearable because they brought back Lyta" loss of Talia, the compressed S4 (ack! it's ending!), and then the tragic "reassignment" of Ivanova that put Lyta frontstage in the entire Byron/Telepath Nation subplot ...
I just mourn for what it could have been. I like the Byron/Lyta sex scene revelation, which we wouldn't have gotten otherwise (?), but it coulda been...different. More weighty and less tacked on. And if it had been Susan and Byron, and Lyta had started out on the outskirt of the revolution, it wouldn't have felt like all our regular characters disappeared.
The S5 we have is better than nothing. But if only...

But yep, going to Atlantis, wreaking havoc on advanced technology, and leaving Rebo and Zooty behind - that's David to a T.
(I kind of wonder if you were implying that Carson left with Lyta, or if that's just me thinking too hard about it.)
