G'kar from Babylon 5 is one of the best written and best acted characters ever. He's inspirational to me and I don't think any other character will ever hold a candle to him in my eyes. I don't really ship him with anyone, he's not that kind of favorite character. I just love him and admire him and think that just everything came together when it came to him. I don't need fic because canon already gives me everything I need.

There is nothing wrong with being drawn to or interested in villain characters. Villains when done right are great explorations of different extremes. And actors often get to have fun with those roles, and it shows. Plus, evil can be sexy in a fictional context.

I like shows that combine arcs and episodic formats. There are different ways to do this and I think different places along the continuum can work well. But I think in general having a mix is best. Shows that cut out all "filler" end up losing characterization that they might get from a few one-off episodes. But at the same time, if a show remains episodic, it is hard for the audience to really see growth and change in the characters and their world.

Ha, I know someone who feels the exact same way about Londo. I always liked G'kar more though, but both are amazing characters. Their combined arc is phenomenal.
