Babylon 5

Yeah. That subplot is terrible, and the main plot is barely tolerable.

JMS kind of disowned it, I see

Z minus 7 days

The Z is for Z’Ha’Dum

Dang.

I was studying this image. Is it one of his household gods?

Started watching another show featuring Shadows that I am enjoying.

Well Neanderthal and James Redd, your work this year with a watch has proven strangely well timed

Feel like I keep posting the same things on this thread, like I am in some sort of…I can’t think of a word for it.

If you go to Z’Ha’Dum, you will DIY

i appreciate it. it reminds me of that warm ride I took many months ago.

and i think of the moment where I realized what "A Minbari not born of Minbari" meant.

Keep singing the word “Z’Ha’Dum” to this.

Your mission, Neanderthal, should you decide to accept it, is to flesh that out and post a recording.

I still haven’t watched much of S4.

By the time you get this message, I will be at Z’ha’dum

Minbari also have a phrase: what is past…is also sometimes the future.

"I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this."

btw one of my best friends years ago named his firstborn after Mira Furlan

eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fuck yea

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
can't wait for withering Londo sarcasm in HD

It arguably is the same remaster for Max, but given how that kind of stuff disappears these days, all the better to have a physical option.

that was my feeling too. nothing stays streaming forever.

I watched Babylon 5 as a teenager, but only the first season... I really liked Michael O'Hare's Jeffrey Sinclair and was bummed he just kinda disappeared, my interest waned quickly.

I learned today from wikipedia that O'Hare was amicably taken off the show because he was suffering from paranoid delusions, which effectively ended his acting career, and persisted until his death. The story (as posted on his wiki) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_O%27Hare is pretty moving.

(How did I arrive at this? I was watching "Sewers Of Gold" (The Great Riviera Bank Robbery) last night, which starred Ian McShane (that guy from Sexy Beast and John Wick), and was reading his bio, and saw that he'd appeared in a Babylon 5 movie alongside... Martin Sheen? and I was like "there are Babylon 5 movies with these people in them?" and that's what got me eventually to Michael O'Hare's page)

> Ian McShane (that guy from Sexy Beast and John Wick),

lol

(he will always be Lovejoy first and foremost)

I was making light of my limited knowledge of his work haha

Was just discussing a few minutes ago how much I liked this show but still needed to finish Season 4.

Right now it is only streaming on Tubi and The Roku Channel afaik.
