There's *so* much in Babylon 5, sure the effects look dated, but what a great story, once it gets going.
If you’re into political SF, U.S. friends, you might like to (re)watch Babylon 5. It’s relevant to your current situation.
Iconic R&B group B5 has officially returned with their latest EP, “STAY.” This six-track project highlights their signature style with a modern edge, featuring standout singles like “Spooky” and “Nervous.”

And this is it.. Deconstruction of Falling Stars...the last #Babylon5 of this rewatch... Of this reality...
The station blowing up at the end of Sleeping in Light looks amazing on the blue ray transfer...
Tears in my eye...
But I do still have The Deconstruction of Falling stars to go... Tomorrow I think...
Lost Tales Priest: "No angels"
What?
Also, religion has been a huge part of the show - Ivanova having a rabbi come so she could sit shiva for her father, Sinclair's "religious ceremony" of introducing all the different earth faith representatives... G'kar becoming a holy figure, (do we count Ivanova declaring herself god?)
#Strictly final in fifteen minutes then... I *think* I *might* be able to finish my #B5Rewatch - I only have Tales and then the S4 and S5 final episodes...
Coming to the end of a rewatch of #Babylon5. As I watch G'kar's closing message to Ta'lon (including his mention of what he was like when he first arrived… oh, memories of the first few episodes!), I suddenly realize:
The two shows are almost completely dissimilar, *but*… his arc reminds me of Eleanor Shellstrop's in #TheGoodPlace. Both have that thing where the person they become by the end has grown *so much*, it's nearly impossible to put into words. It aches.
