Making my way through the series, and one thing bothers me (Season 3 spoilers)

I'm surprised that Londo didn't suspect Morden killed his lover. Morden confronts Londo in the hallway, Londo again says he is done with him, and shortly after his lover is dead. You would think that would raise serious red flags with Londo.

Of course I'm not completely done with Season 3 yet (three more episodes to go) so maybe this is addressed later

Rewatching the show and it bugs me in Season 3 that Londo thought Refa poisoned Adera and did not suspect Morden at all, especially being shortly after Londo told Morden off. Let alone then coming back to Morden and use him for revenge.

I just think Londo is smarter than that.

How credible do people think Clark’s ability to take control of the government was, given the info we had? Granted they said he had put his people in key positions. And of course he had help from his outside friends. But something about it just struck me as not credible when rewatching it.

Something that occurred to me as I rewatched the show is that while Londo is responsible for the deaths of millions, he is also deeply responsible for the forming of the alliance, and it could be argued that without him there would be no alliance. It was him, first coming to G'kar with the idea of having both support Sheridan's war, and then him and G'Kar getting the other worlds to agree, that helped pave the way for the alliance. Without those actions, it's possible no alliance would have been formed. Or at least it would have been more of a struggle.

It's a tragedy when we watch the future talk about the history of the alliance in DOFS, and the two people that were hugely instrumental in the formation of it, Londo and G'Kar, are not mentioned.

Try Independence War if you want a ‘90s space sim with Newtonian physics. Your ship’s computer automatically compensates for slip (but not instantly) or you can hold a key and disable it if you want to do a 360 noscope.

And you can see those Newtonian physics on display in the 14 minute movie intro to the game!

This poo poo was mindblowing when it came out in 1997. Now it comes across as slightly cheesy but still cool.

Also the music reminds me of Babylon 5 a bit.

The Centauri arc in Season 5 might be my favorite arc in the series.

What was the purpose of the eating ritual when Delenn invites Sheridan to eat in her quarters for the first time? Was it just that he was a guest or was there more going on that i can’t remember.

I don’t think they were suggesting that’s how they always eat and it was for a more specific purpose, but I can’t remember what it was.

Friend of mine got into a discussion with me as how he thought it was weird that all the shadow entities would agree with their plan, especially since it puts their lives at risk.

Did JMS ever talk about whether some shadows went against the plan, or went off and did their own thing? We know that at least with Vorlons they didn't all see eye to eye, as evidenced by Kosh.

They've recast the people who've died:

This premise has a good setup for being a really emotional episode.

Looks pretty good in motion to me.

Looks like better choreographed action scenes than the show :v:
