I am listening to the Warhammer 40k Horus Heresy books. And i book 14 "Nemesis" chapter 4 a cop of sorts states: "...or the voices in their head toll them that all people who wear green are evil..."
And my very first reaction was to mutter "purple"!
I didn' really wanted to say it, but i was alone and it
"just came out"!
Just like i was some kind of degenerate green . . .

Jerry Doyle is the most Irish person I’ve ever seen. In action and appearance. Also being a cop is an age old profession for an Irishman. And he’s a recovering alcoholic? The character is so Irish coded. Seems very weird they shoehorned him into being Italian. Obviously it’s of no importance but it’s always bothered me.

Edit: Seems he was written as a reference to Guiseppi Garibaldi. Makes sense. He’s still half Irish in my mind 😜

Hello again, I began B5 4 months ago as you can see in my previous post. And I'm still on season 1 lol. I watched more eps at the time and had a very fun time but unfortunately life and things got in the way and I haven't watched any show.

I have finally decided to continue couple of days ago and I'm enjoying it as I did the first time, I just finished the episode "signs and portents" and omg that was a wonderful episode. I'm still amazed by this show and characters arcs, I really love how each character gets an arc to flesh out its motives/past.. etc.

The biggest mystery now is Sinclair past, from the beginning I was thinking that the idea of him blacking out and suddenly the war ended was.. odd. I genuinely thought that they would just move on but oh boy I was wrong, the episode "And the sky full of stars" explored this and I was genuinely shocked by how well the story is done and how tight it is. Grey council?? Delenn being part of it?? Sinclair is being chosen as commander from a large list?? Also the shadows/ppl who killed lord kiro?? Oh And the stranger that keeps asking what do you want💀. He is creepy and I noticed he's asking the ambassadors only for some reason. Also he got the eye back to londo so I'm suspecting he is one of what they call the shadow.

I still have so many questions unanswered and I'm so excited to continue and I don't write many posts on Reddit but I don't anyone who watched the show so I want anyone to hear me.

My fav characters so far are: Sinclair, G'kar, Garibaldi.

I'll continue watching it these days, life is still getting in the way especially that health has been bad for the last months pray that I survive lol. Anyway so it's difficult to do anything but a show like this could be a good distraction. Thank you all for reading have a great day.

Since we are not getting anything both the reboot or a new animated, my guess is Road Home did badly and showed there are no interest for the franchise sadly. Maybe JMS can get the reboot or stories in comics?

I'm looking for theories about who ran the Babylon 5 docking bay during the strike.

I don’t want to think of myself as an alcoholic. Garibaldi is kind of a cookie cutter style for me. But his relapse hits harder than I expected. The address of this and the preamble I can relate to. Sadly I’m going to sleep buzzed, how I manage life.

I can’t tell if my confusion is me being stupid or it will be explained later. If it’s the latter please don’t spoil anything just say it’s explained at some point.

In ‘In the Shadow of Z’Ha’Dum’ Delenn and Kosh reveal to Sheridan that Kosh is one of the First Ones. In fact he is the last of the First Ones. They even say he cannot leave his encounter suit or he will be recognised. So why in ‘The Fall of Night’ when Kosh leaves his encounter suit and looks like an angel why is this treated as what Vorlons look like being revealed and Vorlons look like Kosh? Kosh is not a Vorlon right?

Maybe I just simply missed it - were there ever any pics or references of 1-3...

Well it seems the B5 Reboot is dead completely, since there's been no word on it from JMS, lately and nobody with powers too make it happen is intrested, I'm wondering what we as fans of the show could possibly do to influence, the studios?

Now being a SciFi series of course is going to be expensive, is or was Babylon 5 a show that is/was too intellectual for modern mainstream audience?

I know JMS had stated numerous times that we as fans should speak up and it was great promise "The Road Home" animated movie came out, unfortunately it wasn't that great of a movie or story and I imagine most of the media sales of it, were from the Pre Sales hype and once released it wasn't well received and sales declined.

I just think it's sad an excellent show like B5 hasn't had any great spin offs or remake, Crusade wasn't good and I guess, it would be hard pressed to find such an excellent cast of actors that Babylon 5 had and also good writers since it was just JMS and Harlan Ellison (RIP) as writers. I guess also tbe rights difference between Movie and TV on who owns what is possibly another factor and that the wholes series isn't just owned by one entity.I think maybe that's the real reason.

Love her so much.

I mean it makes sense in theory. If the Narn regime provided rogue Telepaths with support and aslyum they can cultivate their loyalty and use their powers to their own advantage against their opponents. And if anyone finds out, the Narn can garner support from the other races by claiming that they are on the "Moral right" and they wish to abolish the EA and Psi Corp's tyranny.

Just watched S1E4 ("Infection" production number 101) and at the end there's this interview of Cmdr. Sinclair where he states "whether it's in a hundred years, a thousand years or a million years, sooner or later our sun will go cold..." (quoted from what I remembered).

I wonder if JMS remembered that line when he wrote "Deconstruction of Falling Stars" (S4E22). Surely this episode wasn't planed at that time (and was only necessary because there was a season 5 greenlighted after filming "Sleeping in Light").

Also the rest of the interview in S1E4 fits somehow for Deconstruction of Falling Stars like some sort of foreshadowing.

Season 3? Season 4? Why haven't I seen this before! >!When Kosh dies and he scatters himself in B5 to save Sherridan from the Shadows attempting to assassinate him. I think the Scattering part is the most important! Is what Kosh did a form of rebellion?!< Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

Hi, I saw the post about the fellow Gen Z watching the series for the first time, which inspired me to actually write my own post. I did not find B5 on my own. In fact, my Dad is the one who's a major fan and we own every last season (including Crusade), and movie. Though we still have to buy the animated one. Having grown up with it, even on several rewatches, I don't know if I truly appreciated ALL of the show. But I had a thought recently that I wanted to share.

First-time watchers spoilers for Season 4 ahead. Don't click unless you are ready for it. I've seen before that some people like how >!the Vorlons and Shadows picked the races that had been most influenced by the opposite ideology.!< But, I'm also of the opinion that in the future, the Alliance that they formed could also end up embodying all the different ideologies of the universe, leading to a better balance in the locals.

Plus, (season 1? spoiler? Might be season two, sorry.), >!the fact that the souls of the Minbari and humans transfer between them!< could also be a sign that the Universe knows that just having one pure ideology is a bad idea and decided on the above as a way to balance the scales or let one dominate for a time before switching.

I have some opinions on the Shadows vs. Vorlon war, which I might end up posting about separately. But I will leave for now with, I like >!the first Kosh!< the most.

Lennier says "Over the last two thousand years, there have been fewer Minbari born into each generation, and those who are born do not seem equal to those who came before." We eventually find out what happened 2000 years ago to start the division with Valen, but I don't recall specifics about what this means.

How were older Minbari "better" than younger ones? Were there more telepaths? More skilled warriors, workers, and religious? What is a Minbari without a Minbari soul, or only a partial soul, compared to one who has a complete Minbari soul?

Neither Delenn nor Lennier nor Neroon seem to think that today's Minbar is a diminished, inferior society to what existed before. People operate as they always have and don't seem to yearn for some bygone era, even before they discovered the truth about their souls at the Battle of the Line.

I couldn’t believe it. The entire script plus notes from NG, usually about production issues.

Lando buys her freedom, he has obviously forgiven her. She says "the wounds are too fresh" and just leaves? What kind of wounds did she have that were too fresh? Seems like a plot hole.

Watching B5 first time, S3E9 (no spoilers plz).

I've got another amazing quote for you from Londo. Vir has been on Minbar as an envoy, and he's talking to Londo about his latest report. Londo is having him rewrite it to make the Minbari look uncivilized.

Vir says: "I thought the purpose of these reports was to provide accurate intelligence", to which Londo replies: "Intelligence has nothing to do with politics".

Laughed out loud.
