Further great moments in watching Bab5

[lizbee]

suburbannoir and I got up to "Between the Darkness and the Light" last night.  Her reaction to the ending was ...

"But I don't want Ivanova to die!  Why can't Marcus die?  Why don't they remember they have that stupid alien thing in Medlab?  I WOULD TRADE MARCUS FOR IVANOVA!"

I ... bit my tongue.  And smiled.

You are v good for containing yourself, I'd have probably given it away with Accidental Laughter.

[lizbee]

It was definitely a near thing.

Do you remember the "BRING BACK MARCUS!!!!!!" rage at the time? It was almost as bad as the Ianto frothers.

[lizbee]

I wasn't in the fandom at the time! But I'm somehow not surprised.

Stop mocking me!

I'm so glad we got Ivanova back...for one episode.

[lizbee]

I'm not mocking you! Your powers of prediction are amazing!

I honestly thought I wanted them BOTH back, but then JMS gave me his version of that and it was so much DO NOT WANT that it ruined everything for me forever.

So now I am just sulking.

THAT STORY WAS SO AWFUL! It makes RTD's Rose/Handy solution look well-planned and thoughtful!

[rj_anderson]

I really think he did it because he was so sick of the Ivanova/Marcus shippers nagging at him. "Here guys, have what you want! IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY."
