Jumpgate #35 - Acts of Sacrifice
Added 2022-11-15 14:01:02 +0000 UTCJumpgate continues as Vera and I watch G'Kar scramble for help for his people while Ivonova deals with a... "humorous" side plot.

The sub plot is bad but I just wanna say that G'Kar and Londo are really good characters

2022-11-16 16:05:47 +0000 UTCYeah, totally agree. I was a kid in the 90’s, and even I started feeling squick and uncomfortable about the B-plot as I got older. A lot of 90’s humor was “oooh look, someone in an uncomfortable situation, how funny!” And I never vibe with that at all, nor have I understood how people enjoy characters that make total buffoons of themselves; I always feel bad for the character, or second-hand embarrassment for them
2022-11-16 00:09:20 +0000 UTCAs far as the “Hahaha… 90s” of it… well, I can tell you I watched it in the 90s and I distinctly remember flipping through channels waiting for the “comedy” subplot to be over when this first aired. And I was at most 13. And we didn’t have cable, so I was flipping through mostly static. Mind you, it’s even worse in hindsight knowing Ivanova’s actress later wrote that JMS made a pass at her when he was both her boss and married, but… that plot never wasn’t awful.
