Jedit posted:Production order on Buffy/Angel is simple - from S4/S1 alternate between the two shows. A Call to Arms is the pilot episode of Crusade so definitely get that in order if nothing else.

Son of Sam-I-Am posted:maybe rename the thread something like Babylon 5 Newbie Nature Preserve Rename it to whatever you want but include "spoiler = 1 week probe" or whatever punishment mods deem appropriate in the title since we've already seen several examples of nerds physically unable post here without playing smirking “I KNOW MORE THAN YOU” dickwaving games about a media property and the thread is barely five days old.

Neo Rasa posted:This is correct. Not really a spoiler just general observation, I always liked that it was a relatively small number compared to lot of large cities irl because the amount of people actually for real living on the station or assigned to it for a length of time is pretty small compared to how much of it is the infrastructure that keeps it going and communal spaces/food production/etc. type of stuff. There's a few amusingly dated calls about how certain stuff things work in the future but at the same time it's very real in a lot of ways a lot of the other 90s sci-fi shows never really went for. Small population also helps explain why the same 30 people keep showing up at everything important in your TV show.

Son of Sam-I-Am posted:Well what's a "pure" experience though? Should we enforce that they watch by air date only? That seems rather presumptuous, and if someone does want a "when is best storywise" order I'd rather someone give that in here than forcing them out into searching the internet at large with spoiler landmines galore. A pure experience is where they can watch it without having nerds who have already seen it barge in and answer questions they haven't even asked.

Doctor Zero posted:Yes. But first let me say that I am an idiot and have poor long term memory or something, because the recorder is a lot more than I remembered. I was probably thinking of a cable that would allow me to connect the VHS to my Mac, and that was $30, not the one I ultimately bought. So I was off by a factor of 4. Awesome, thanks!

I wouldn’t go to heroic lengths to get them; they don’t hold any critical plot information. They’re more “hey here’s this thing you saw on the show again, but now it’s SOMEWHERE ELSE!  ” If you want more B5 the novels pick up some plot threads and extend them beyond season 5 and are generally regarded as good though hard to find.

The_Doctor posted:S3ep14 - Ship of Tears There are not. The Narn telepaths all died in the final battle, either in a last knockout strike to drive off the Shadows or to smash their defenses so the rest of the Narn could push them back. Either way, no Narn telepaths were alive after end of the war which is why an early G’Kar character beat was being a horn dog for other species’ telepaths.

jng2058 posted:But also some good ones. I loved Babylon 5 Wars, for instance. The game broke down if you let fleet sizes get too big, but for small scale engagements, the level of detail they put in was marvelous. Once Agents of Gaming lost the license and it went to Mongoose, their Babylon 5: A Call to Arms did large fleet battles much better, but I really missed the detail and personality of the ships from B5 Wars. B5W was good and Fleet Action was okay, though B5W became unplayable with more than a handful of ships on each side, similar to Star Fleet Battles. I have everything AoG published for B5W and FA as well as the ActA 1E base but never had a chance to play it and never bothered with any of the expansions - it seemed a bit less abstract than FA but nowhere near as teeth-shatteringly crunchy as B5W.

jng2058 posted:You could make B5 Wars work on a large scale in a convention setting where you had a lot of players each handling a small number of ships, a GM or two to keep things on track, and a double time slot of like eight hours. I once played a B5W event at Origins just like that where we played out one of the bigger battles from the show where each of us got one capital ship and it's fighter squadrons. Took forever, but it was a hell of a lot of fun. It seemed like you would need a basketball court for an entire week to do some of the scenarios provided in the books.
