Default OT - Shock Babylon 5 makes me shudder

Gosh, I recently bought series 1, 2 and 3 on DVD.

I was watching an episode from series 3 which I had never seen. It is the one where the Minbari want to hold a rebirth ceremony, and the humans go and tell Delenn their secrets whilst she is in Medlab.

Ivanova walks in and tells Delenn that she was probably in love with that blonde telepath who was in the station on series 1 and 2.

Blimey, isn't this a bit steamy for science fiction shows? I mean, well, really! cute executive officer falls for cute telepath, both girls? my god....

Blimey again

I think later on Ivanova and the Blond Telepath actually get to kiss. Originally I remeber a few weeks later a DS-9 episode had some female/female romance in it too.
All part of the lesbos in space theme. Nice to see Enterprise flirting with the same ideas too.

Anyone remember the Voyager episode where Neelix and Kes were going to have a kid, only they had to remain "bonded" for *3 DAYS* for it to work?

Um dude, no offense, but this is really really really really really really old news. If it took you that long to discover this, then perhaps you did not have B5 broadcasting in your area so long ago.

I can remember the old B5 forums ablaze with discussion over Ivanova's sexual preferances long before this episode confirmed them. I miss so many things about the earily internet.

Um... well, there was an episode of Deep Space Nine where Jadzia Dax mildly flirted with a woman from her past life ... and more than a few people complained about it. I didn't even care enough to watch it.

Then, in the Last season, they go to the evil parallel universe, and evil Ezri and evil Kira do a full on snog. And I think, so what's the point they're trying to make here, that this is evil?

Bab 5 was just a better written show, case closed. Same basic premise, a little lesbian titilation thrown in, but look how much more meaningful it comes across at the end for Bab 5.
