The real reason why the techno mages fled was because G'Kar had asked them to update his software.

It seems like the person powering the Great Machine has run out of juice. Would you like poor, old Zathras to order a new one?

jng2058 posted:B5 knew more or less where it was going from the very first episode. One thing I had forgotten about the show is that Londo says how he's going to die in the first episode. I also like the random pak'ma'ra who walks into the assassination attempt at Lyndista in Sic Transit Vir, realizes what's going on and slowly backs away.

Babylon 5 rewatch: Swedish meatballs are the one universal constant. Vir apparently lost a lot of weight in the week after Sheridan went to Z'ha'dum. It's amazing how Londo manages to portray himself as the victim. Marcus Cole is basically a space samurai and yet he's the biggest dork on the show. Did you know that Ivanova is russian? Because she will bring it up constantly. It must be infuriating to work in a place where everyone answers even the simplest question with a vague philosophical parable.

Clarke isn't that popular either. The moment there's evidence for foul play several colonies revolt, a big portion of the army defects and Clarke has to use draconian measures to keep power.

usenet celeb 1992 posted:Maddeningly hard to take (compounded by my distaste for Gaiman when he tries to get a bit too precious, like the bit with Zooty's translator at the end) but the incomprehensibility of the humor is wholly by design. Imagine going back to the 1950s and explaining that in the future, for a a couple of years people were going to lose their poo poo over a picture of a cat that desires a cheeseburger. "I don't understand, why does the cat talk like that? Is it a China-man?" That meme is older than you think it is:  My main objection is that Penn and Teller are unfunny libertarian assholes.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I definitely like Believers more than I do TKO. Sorry audience, you don't get the good ending, the kid is dead. That's what happens when you cut him open like a meat animal. Welcome to Babylon 5. It also shows that the main characters will gently caress up royally even though they're the good guys.

Winifred Madgers posted:I'm also going to be a contrarian yet again, and say that I don't want the tone of a new show to be significantly different from the original. Seen a lot of posts about wanting it to be hornier Babylon 5 was plenty horny though. G'Kar's fetish for humans, Londo's dick in full view, Ivanova having sex with an alien envoy, Sheridan and Delenn having to explore their erogenous zone while her caste listened..

sebmojo posted:I don't think the centauri were meant to be very efficient They had a guard watching a spot in the courtyard for generations because once upon a time a princess wanted to protect a flower. And since you couldn't question an imperial order and the emperor forgot to rescind the order there had to be a guard watching that spot. Even though the flower was gone.

TK-42-1 posted:Bester is so goddamn good. I really can’t think of someone who can have the same amount of menace, competence, and charm in one package while doing it so effortlessly. The episode where goes to Babylon 5 just to gently caress with Lyta and Garibaldi pretty much sums him up. If he managed to make someone feel like poo poo, he had a good day.

Babylon 5 rewatch: The Fall of Centauri Prime is so good and effectively the good bye episode to Mollari, even though he'll keep on living for some years. I also love that one female centauri standing in the background trying to sweep up some of the rubble.Luigi Thirty posted:Please don’t leave the plastic gasoline canisters I asked for in public, it’s too hard to explain them away Alhazred fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Oct 3, 2021 |

I honestly think that Jordan Peele's "gently caress it, Being John Malkovich is a prequel to Get Out" response is a lot easier to respect. Why would you care if people theorize about what references you're making in your work.

Small White Dragon posted:Just got to Babylon Squared in my rewatch. Is that supposed to be the Shadows attacking B5 in Sinclair's vision? Because lol at them using 20th century welding equipment if so. It's kinda funny how they gave Sinclair a scar in the visions. Then the actor quit and there's nothing that causes a scar. But he still have to have it the next time he shows up.

The only opening I don't really like is the first one. It just goes on and on. But even that one has some good parts like "Humans and aliens, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal . . . all alone in the night." "

Payndz posted:Even that bit's flawed: "two and a half million" would be a snappier, less-clumsy way of saying it than "two million, five hundred thousand". But it is what it is. (Maybe JMS will streamline it in the reboot.) "A hunk of metal with some weird guys in it spinning in space."

OnlyBans posted:Spoilers can ruin things that rely on a twist. B5 isn't that though. B5 gets better the more you know. Giving people more to know helps draw them in. Literally the first time we see Mollari he says "yeah, G'Kar is going to strangle me to death. That's how I die."
