B5 nerdliness: Why I miss the Shadows and the Vorlons
I miss the Shadows because...
... agents of Chaos sure know how to party
... who else would give a loser like Londo his big break?
... they don't need modems
... they fly around in giant screaming spiders
... their cuss-words are 10,000 letters long
... they're the brightest bugs in the galaxy
... Morden was kinda cute
... they're competitors
... the Shadow War gave my life meaning and direction
... a thousand years from now, who will destroy civilization?
... fighting them made us stronger
... Psi-Corp is my friend
... invisibility looks good on them
... who knows what they really want?
... they're easy to fool
... when they blow up a planet, it's really scary!
... they remind me of my ex
... they'll give you what you want
... I'm a sadist
I miss the Vorlons because...
... being a Lord of Order means never having to say you're sorry
... they found a use for Jack the Ripper
... they don't need lightbulbs
... they fly around in giant singing garlic cloves
... fortune cookies sound dull and obvious by comparison
... the suit makes the Vorlon
... they're an evolutionary dead-end
... they are ALL Kosh
... who will sponsor Valen when he comes back?
... they do a great angel impression
... now who will nag me to clean my room?
... everyone wants to see them naked
... who knows who they really are?
... they're easy to guilt-trip
... blowing up planets hurts them more than it hurts us
... they remind me of my Dad
... they have always been here
... I'm a masochist
