He told ...Londo wasn't a fan of Rebo and Zooty. He told Sheridan he didn't get them, didn't understand why humans found them so funny. Sheridan loved them and gave Londo a zoot-zoot on his way out of Londo's quarters (earlier episode). Maybe by the time Day of the Dead aired, Londo had come to appreciate them. Frankly, I don't get Rebo and Zooty either. They are no funnier than Penn and Teller and I don't get them either.

So much that I miss or just don't see. Still, it doesn't change how I received the entry. But I did love reading your input on it.<br /><br />I liked your thought on the Morden appearance and perhaps Londo never had closure with Adira. And of course, Adira. ;)SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-70048675711171699532009-06-14T18:26:49.188-04:002009-06-14T18:26:49.188-04:00It's really weird to me that you disliked this...It's really weird to me that you disliked this episode so much, because it was always one of my favorite early-S5 episodes (and all right, that's not setting the bar too high. It's this one and The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari for me until after Phoenix Rising.)<br /><br />I can't speak to all your criticisms, but JMS has specifically said that Reebo and Zooty weren't supposed to be instantly funny. They're like LOLcats. Like "All Your Base." Like "Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse ME!" Like... I dunno, any other memetic joke which is funny at the time. I'm not saying that this episode was funnier when it aired, it's supposed to be a representation of seeing that kind of humor from the outside. If you'll notice, Lochley doesn't find them funny, either. Or, yknow, "Okay, kind of amusing, but why are these people LAUGHING like this?"<br /><br />Anyway, I generally look on the visitations as allowing the characters to look at aspects of their personalities that they don't often take into consideration--for Lochley and Garibaldi, Zoe and Dodger are people who represent loss of control, lack of responsibility, as well as being people they didn't get to properly say goodbye to. Morden was a perfect servant--a servant of evil, perhaps, but he served the Shadows possibly more honorably than Lennier is serving the Anla'shok, seeing as Lennier joined up to impress a girl. And Adira makes Londo reassess his entire station in life. Also, y'know, Adira.<br /><br />Oh, and Kosh didn't appear to Lochley, she got the message from Zoe from Kosh.
