I've been watching a few episodes a week with friends, and going through Clark's takeover a few weeks back was unsettling.

His ship blew up the Dilgar war criminal and her immortality serum, before Earth forces could scoop 'em up. Shadows would have thought the kinks she built into that stuff were hilarious.

I don't think it helps that the basic personality trait of the Religious Caste is a kind of knockoff-Vulcan refined befuddlement. The Warrior Caste gets to barely kettle their anger all the time, but it's rare to see one of the priestly types really take up any emotional space. Friends and I watched Refa's death scene a couple of months ago. I don't think I'd seen the episode since it aired originally, and spent the entire time giggling and rubbing my hands, just waiting for it.

Angry Lobster posted:In that scene he's the smuggest dude in the entire planet. Some people consider Bruce Boxleitner a bad actor, but I loved him in B5 I grew up watching him in things like TRON and Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and B5 when it aired in my early twenties. I'm hopelessly biased in favour of the man, regardless of what his actual acting chops may be.

Sinclair: Well, after all, no one knows exactly what you look like. That makes some people a little nervous. Kosh: Good.

Kibayasu posted:Besides some of the actors these days the only things I remember about Seaquest is that there was a dolphin and two of the later episodes, one which had terrorists or whatever blowing up gigantic global carbon dioxide scrubbers (because we killed all the plants???) and another where some guys were doing the decidedly non-sea-related activity of being commandos in a jungle. That may have been the same episode or neither being an episode of Seaquest at all. The terrorists were combat replicants, who everyone hated because racism and future-Vietnam veterans. They were also capable of surviving in a lower oxygen environment than humans were, so the plan was to suffocate humanity and take over. There was a big, mentally challenged one on the Seaquest crew too, and I don't want to think too hard about that confluence of traits right now.

Brad Dourif has been a favourite 'that guy' actor since Lynch's Dune. Doing a spin on the Demolished Man was cool, too.

I'm still amused by the father threatening Franklin with a tiny little knife as he and his family backed out of medlab. That was a nice touch.

For me, the pilot is something fun to come back to and play 'spot the foreshadowing' with.

Polaron posted:I think Tatooine was supposed to have been a much nicer planet in ages past, though I may admittedly just be remembering old EU stuff that has no relevance any longer. This was suggested by a bit of Tusken lore in one of the Star Wars CRPGs, but I won't guess where that fell in the old layers of canonicity.

I keep thinking of the episode where they're chatting cloak-and-dagger stuff in the bathroom, and in the background there's this sealed airlock door marked 'Pak'ma'ra use only'.

wizzardstaff posted:S1E10, Believers - I thought this could have been a Star Trek script almost word for word until the last five minutes. If it had been Trek, the doctor would have done the operation, the kid would have been quiet and moody and ambiguously soul-less before being whisked away by angry parents, and the captain would have given a monologue questioning whether the right choice was made. Instead we got...what we got. It reminds me that the show has a different tone that I need to prepare myself for. I always get a kick out of the dad pulling a tiny little knife on the doctor. It's the, er, little touches.

That's probably one of the reasons why I'll always have a warm spot for B5: it reminds me of original-series Doctor Who and BBC Shakespeare productions.

Especially that bit at the end.

That kind of thing really peaked in the seventies and early eighties, and petered out shortly afterward, if my media consumption's any indication.
