I was surprised by a huge instrument I'd never heard of. I felt shamed. I wonder if the guy who didn't know suicide knew this. Like, what does he know?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I just rewatched TNG's "The Inner Light", and now I think I'm going to be crying all day.
OMG yes.
In other 20 year old sci fi TV news, I have started Babylon 5 season 5. I bailed before Season 5 when I watched it 10 years ago. G'Kar continues to be awesome, and Tracy Scoggins's eyes and teeth freak me out.

I was obsessed with glass armonicas for a while, but that was rather a long time ago, so my factual recall is suspect. Ben Franklin invented them. I want to say Mozart wrote for them. Some people thought the sound could make you lose your marbles.
It's an awfully clever idea.

I just watched a B7 episode that got me--the one where Tarrant's brother figts on behalf of a realm of planets while Avon suspects it's rigged, and Tarrant is tapped into his brother's experiences, and Dayna is feeling the opponent's feeling and Avon is trying to block Servalan...and the brother dies while his bro is plugged in and...aieee! I didn't expect feels from Blakes 7! I thought they'd atrophied, at least.

Nora: I hated Tracey Scoggins SO MUCH. Season 5 of Bab5 was such a failure, I swear.
the cop that hates McCoy was complaining to a female cop, wasn't he? Or was he complaining to Minka?
He was complaining to Minka.

Nora, do yourself a favor and fast-forward any time the guy with the blond ponytail is speaking.

Too late, but at least now I've seen his fiery death.

Yeah, that's why I didn't watch it the first go-around. Tom did not speak highly of it. But I wanted to be a completest this time. (Will likely also track down the pilot and TV movies too.)
The other thing is that it's like JMS figured out that since they were on basic cable at this point, we could see Scoggins in her underwear all the time. It's like, c'mon, man. Be cool. Don't make me sic Ivanova on you.

Thing about Tracey Scoggins, what else is there to do with her other than see her in her panties? Watch her act?

She did passably well on Lois & Clark as Lois' shallow, man-hungry co-worker and rival for Clark's affections. That role seems to be within her wheelhouse, though tough authoritative military commander is not.
