Data Graham posted:"The Quality of Mercy": daaamn, nice set of double-twists in this one. I was about 2/3 of the way through and thinking "Wow, it seems like the doctor lady and Franklin have come to a nice pat agreement; seems this one's wrapped up early". But then the murderer story tied back into it all of a sudden, and then just as I was kicking myself for not seeing that coming, there's another Also an episode that you think is a one and done, but is important in the future.

Paradoxish posted:Here's a confession, then: I love Babylon 5, but I don't think I've ever seen more than one or two episodes of the fifth season. The fourth season just feels so... final. It's hard for me to convince myself that it's worth watching anything after that. A poo poo ton of Centauris

It helps turn Londo into even more of a tragic figure. You find out more how he got to his fTW a you saw when Sheridan became unstuck in time.

Party Plane Jones posted:S1 doesn't actually have a lot of G'kar or Londo come to think of it. G'kar is only in 11 episodes and Londo in 14. Season 2 gives them vastly more time on screen. G'Kar is also basically a mustache twirling villain in season 1.

Data Graham posted:BTW "In the Beginning" was pretty good, particularly in seeing the actors all playing younger (and older) versions of themselves. Jurasik somehow made "young and bright-eyed" work, and Katsulas even more so (it seemed like he'd boned up on how he'd acted at the beginning of the show and was playing up being a higher-energy version of himself again). Even Ivanova I could buy as a teenager. Really neat stuff. Sinclair was unable to film so they used only footage already shot. They claimed he could not get there, but it might have more to do with his mental illness.

hangedman1984 posted:I imagine JMS was probably particularly salty that he was losing him to DS9. We are lucky that he did not decided to walk it off. Maybe with a long walk. A long, dull, pointless, boring walk. Across America. That he won’t finish.

SlothfulCobra posted:I get the sense though that Delenn was going through some pretty heavy weeabooing for humanity before the shadow war gave her something bigger to focus on, and it definitely didn't help that she seemed to be romantically pursuing Sinclair, and then when he got replaced she just went and jumped his replacement's bones. (and through it all Lennier does that weird Nice Guy thing. How are minbari-minbari romances supposed to work?) I don't think any of the romantic relationships of the show really worked for me. I am pretty sure they showed G'kar banging centauris and wanting to bang humans.

bartolimu posted:If you assume the last scene of Sleeping in Light was always planned, it totally makes sense that the audience never seriously doubts Sheridan was the Good Guy. The whole five-season show was one big history/propaganda piece paid for by the Ranger Memorial Fund or something like that. What are you talking about? Sheridan did not do all those things. He was power hungry.

Timby posted:Byron is indeed terribly written, there are no two ways around that, but the character isn't helped by Robin Atkin Downes being like 21 when he was playing the part, and that being essentially his first major live-action role ever. He was completely out of his element and it shows, painfully, on the screen; when you're a really raw actor in a show full of mediocre actors, you're going to stick out like a sore thumb. I still think they should have brought back Jeffrey combs
