Inspired by a Star Trek meme post. We had some amazing reoccurring actors that you might not have recognized.

So my wife and I were watching through Babylon 5 on Tubi. We've both never seen it and have really enjoyed it. We hit the end of season 4 and it really felt like the end of the show (I'm aware of the background issues and also that the season 5 finale was filmed for the end of season 4 but then shifted around) and we were very satisfied with where everything was left. We took a break to put a hold at our library on a DVD of the movies to watch "In the Beginning" before we started season 5. Got the DVD, started watching it, and my wife started falling asleep, so we stopped and just...haven't gone back. I can't explain it, but neither of us feel super motivated to continue even though we were really enjoying the show.

So, B5 fans who have watched the whole series, what can you say to motivate us to continue watching?!

What an absolutely amazing story! I thought it was reasonably well paced as well. Best week of recovering from covid ever.

Sheridan getting shafted by Earth in the end and still out politicking them was the chef's kiss. After watching that over one week, What now?

Just got up to the episode where they introduce the Nightwatch. It's a brilliant piece of writing depicting the use of "special roles" to "help".

They instantly reminded me of the "brown shirts" and equivalent that Mussolini and Hitler used when Fascism was first popularised.

It's scary that it is still so relevant. Almost as if we don't learn from history (or science fiction for that matter).

Just watching Babylon 5 through as I sit recovering from another bout of COVID. This line from the episode "Infection" was brilliant.

Really enjoying the binge so far, even if the jump between the pilot and episode 1 was a little jarring.

After my third rewatch, I still have one question. Where did "Arthur" get his sword and chain mail?

It's a good episode, and this question doesn't detract from that.

Keep em coming!

"The universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not narn or human or centauri or gaim or minbari. It speaks in the language of hope." "It speaks in the language of trust. It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us and the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. The small, still voice that says: 'We are one. No matter the blood, no matter the skin, no matter the world, no matter the star. .. We are one. No matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear. .. We are one.' Here, gathered together in common cause, we begin to realize this singular truth and this singular rule that we must be kind to one another. Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light our way to a better future. We are one." "We are one." Sheridan/G'Kar, the Alliance Preamble to the Declaration of Principles, The Paragon of Animals
