Party time again!

[wiseheart]

Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

I find Marcus a completely ridiculous character. The actor was bad, too, but the whole concept of a male virgin - kind of Galahad in the 23rd century - was never fully interated in his personality, as otherwise he was a self-important jerk. I'm a proud member of the Marcus/Neroon list, and in a lot of fanfic he's much better.

There is a particular story called "A Minbari Courtship" by Kelly Lynn, about the only one where Marcus' choice to remain untouched was explained convincingly. I highly recommand it. It's posted to the Delusions archive.

idk. I like his character with the quirky references to all sorts of things (plus any character singing Gilbert and Sullivan get a plus in my book) :)
and I like the fact the he is not defined by his virginity.
I fidn the end of s4 extremely sad - so hard to re-watch - yet so pointless, as if Dr Franklin had done what he had promise the woman he would have and researched the machine it could have been possible to use safely.

I'm probably prejudiced because Marcus' juvenile behaviour reminds me too much of my students, and of that I get more than enough all day...
