dolariI've been ploughing through these DVDs since Christmas. A roller coaster of 110 some hours over three months, instead of 110 hours over 5 years. I figured I would be a wreck from the slaloming, but I've managed to keep it all together...
...at least It hought so.
I'm watching Objects at Rest, and I nearly lost it when Lochley (and everyone else) saluted Sheridan as he left Babylon 5 for the last time. And that's not even the Big Goodbye.
I can only hope I'm a quarter of the writer JMS is, and my characters are a quarter of B5's characters.
I'm about to watch Sleeping in Light for the first time since I saw it 1998, off the air. I've got Kleenex sitting here...I hope there's enough. Cause I'm about to become a wreck.
In a good way. :)

Date: 2008-04-01 09:24 am (UTC)It might have been my frame of mind as well. When I transitioned in '94 I found that fandom in Western Australia was mostly filled with narrow minded middle class folk who would much rather that I just stayed away from the stuff they were interested in. In fact, I discovered the big difference between 'associate' and 'friend' - friends will stick with you (maybe) while you remain active in their area of interest (sports, fandom, hobbies) whereas friends (if they stick with you) do so because they like you. I found 99% of local fandom to be associates.
In '96, after a 'geographical' in Sydney, I prematurely returned to Perth to attend the local con. That was a big disaster (details at my web site (http://hunter.apana.org.au/~gallae/QueerStuff/emotions/suswancon.htm)) and I stayed away until '99, but I'd already paid for that con and was committed to go. Five years later, I'd more or less moved on, though I still had rather bitter/sweet feelings about fandom, so maybe that flavoured my reactions.
