Coming to the end of a rewatch of #Babylon5. As I watch G'kar's closing message to Ta'lon (including his mention of what he was like when he first arrived… oh, memories of the first few episodes!), I suddenly realize:

The two shows are almost completely dissimilar, *but*… his arc reminds me of Eleanor Shellstrop's in #TheGoodPlace. Both have that thing where the person they become by the end has grown *so much*, it's nearly impossible to put into words. It aches.

Those last few episodes are so sad to watch, seeing everything winding down and familiar characters moving on. Honestly, I often skip "Sleeping in Light" as it's too difficult to watch. #Babylon5

@DavidGoldfield Just thinking hard about the last few scenes always makes me cry, but I just finished a rewatch of "Objects at Rest" (which got me bawling at the scene where Sheridan and the new crew look at each other through their respective windows as he and Delenn's White Star is about to leave — Goddess, so much kudos to Christopher Franke for the heartbreaking music!) and am about to do "Sleeping In Light". Again.

I have tissues ready.
