HA -- women's studies with Bill Adama, lolol.

That was pretty much my favorite, too.

Looking at your B5 icons, it occurs to me that there aren't all that many J/D kissing scenes in the series -- I think you've got all but two or three. Makes me go hmmm...

There are actually a lot more than I thought. The problem is, a lot of them aren't very iconnable. Like, in one of the Objects, the one where they say goodbye to Garibaldi, they have a quick kiss when she gets off the shuttle and he greets her. But it's not really a well-composed shot, so while nice to watch, doesn't really work for icons.

Now my goal is to icon EVERY SINGLE KISS. LOL. I'll make that post and then someone will tell me I've missed one, heh.

I love the university concept! (And I rather think I might take Shop in this university...)

The middle kiss is my favorite. I love that she keeps on buttoning her shirt. Multi-tasking Delenn.

I wish we'd had more scenes like that opening scene (minus the talk about socks, JFC). I love the casual domesticity of it all. I always tend to get more fluttery over simple little kisses than the big dramatic ones, though; more...something. I can't word this early.

Are both Bill and Six teaching women's studies? That could get interesting fast!

Regardless the university is awesome, and I would take most of these classes in a heartbeat.

Very pretty icons of course. The middle one is my favorite though (I esp like the cropping on it).

You know what I've discovered in making icons? Shows like BSG are super-pretty to watch but don't always icon well. The framing doesn't give you a lot of options. Older shows like B5 and TNG tend to leave a lot of headroom, and it gives you a lot more freedom in cropping.

Of course, it's a double-edged sword. You have to do a lot more work on coloring and contrast, especially on B5, which I swear to God was filmed through cheesecloth.

I haven't done much icons on "older" shows other than B5, but I've definitely noticed some shows are rather easier to make icons of than others.

I think at that uni I'd study brewery or even chemistry!
