beccaelizabethThe first 2 sections of Exogenesis - out of 6 - are too messy to work. grr arrgh sulk.
I'd forgotten how much I loved Marcus Cole, the Ranger. And if I could forget that it has been *far* too long since I've watched these.
The theme of the ep was miscommunication, so the series of *facepalm* moments range from funny to tragic. Though, given how things end for him and Ivanova, the bit with Marcus and the roses acquires a bit of tragic. *sigh*
The thing with the alien symbiotes who were memory, that clicked in my head with Highlander style Immortals. I had this xover theory once that the Vorlons made Immortals - I think there was something about how both have Quickenings when they die - but the Shadows corrupted them by introducing 'There Can Be Only One' and that whole mess about the Prize. Because obviously they were originally meant to fight in a far away place, but not each other.
But, Immortals would have that same function of preserving a culture through the long nights induced by the repeated cycle of Shadow wars. Walking memories.
I know 'The Source' is coming up and likely going to screw up the whole origin of Immortals again. I know making Immortals be part alien is perilously close to Zeist territory. But for a fanfic theory I thought it was fun.
