And then I found myself thinking about the scene where Babylon is magically restored, and it occurred to me to start thinking about why it needed to be restored. (I know ... duh!)
And that made me think about the whole thing from a totally different angle.
I mean ... it's so easy (especially not having seen the episodes) to focus in, even in the bombing, to what it meant for bj.
But people died in that bomb blast. In a bomb blast that targeted a fund raiser for fighting the anti-gay marriage lobby.
That's a huge thing to have happened.
We saw celebrating in the streets when the gay community were saved from Stockwell, who was benign compared to this.
I think people just aren't getting it.
But I'm hopeful that more will when they see the whole of the episodes, and not just focus in discussions on the details of the bj stuff.
We'll see.
I might feel totally diffent about it myself when I actually see the episodes.
