Tour de Fleece Day 2 - Second Singles Spun

Happy to report I got the second 4 oz of the Into the Whirled 221B Polwarth/Silk spun. Hooray for that!

I love weekends when my family doesn't have plans as I can work on spinning during the TdF.

I decided to watch the two episodes Harlan Ellison worked on the story for B5.

First up was A View from the Gallery (Season 5 Episode 4).  This is a terrific episode that follows two workers through the story & how their actions help the ship.  Really wonderful storyline.

Then came Objects in Motion (Season 5 Episode 20).  It is towards the end of the series.  Garibaldi & G'Kar are both leaving B5.  Lots of tears. I hate goodbyes.  And it was nearing the end of the show.  Saying goodbye to characters I loved.  And Garibaldi & G'Kar were both terrific characters.

And sad that both actors are no longer with us.  So many wonderful actors from the show are gone.  And too many too soon...  Jerry Doyle at 60, Andreas Katsulas at 59...  Others too young.  Richard Biggs at just 44... Jeff Conaway 60.  Stephen Furst 63.  Ugh...

 

Then I headed back to the Marcus episodes.  I had already watched the first two yesterday.  So on to Exogenesis (Season 3 Episode 7.)  This one is about creatures burrowing into humans.  Squiky...  But has some amazing bits between Marcus & Franklin, starting their path to friendship.  And his interactions with an older man named Duncan are terrific.

It ends with what may be one of my fav scenes with Marcus & Ivanova...  Really thought I could find a video on YouTube of that bit!  Ivanova thrust the roses at Marcus (after mistakenly thinking he left them.) 

Ivanova: Keep them!

Marcus Cole: Thank you. I will. Well, guess there's hope for us after all.

*grin*  Yep...there is indeed.

 

Messages from Earth  (Season 3 Episode 8) was next.  This is a heavy episode with a lot about the Shadows.  But I love the scene with Marcus & Ivanova.  Marcus has created a chart since Susan asked where he fits in the structure of B5.  He says he can compare it to the Ottoman Empire.  *laugh*  Wonderful scene... 

There is also a wonderful bit with Delenn helping Sheridan to sleep on the White Star.

 

 

The final episode for today was A Late Delivery from Avalon (Season 3 Episode 13).  I love this episode.  Michael York as Arthur.  And who can't help but be entertained by Garibaldi & his Postal woes.  *grin*  It is a touching episode with all that happens.

 

Next up for Marcus is War Without End which is a two parter!  It was about 4:45.  And I didn't have a lot of fiber left.

 

So I decided not to break into the two-parter. I may end up splitting it up anyhow.  I am working from home tomorrow.  So I might be able to watch some of it.  But I am not sure how much.  We shall see.
