"12-world" seems... small. Especially considering the Earth Alliance alone had at least three inhabited planets at the beginning of the show (Earth, Mars, and Proxima 3). "12-species and some of them are pretty big" seems more legit. Which suddenly makes me wonder if any of the various...

So what you're saying is, it'll soon be easier to build actual spaceships than to make movies about them?

SG-1, really? But good call on Futurama. No other shows have managed not only to keep getting good press but actually get resurrected. Repeatedly. If your fans can't keep track of how many times your show has been brought back from the dead, you're doing a great job. DS9 does get some good...

Here's The Atlantic recommending B5 quite highly, a mere twenty-five years after it went off the air. (And actually I'll answer my own question: one, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'd include Next Generation but it got rolling in the 80s, and X-Files petered out, if I recall. Did I miss anything?)

Somewhat reassuring to hear this is more of another time loop/War Without End than a multiverse. I roll my eyes at some of the acting in B5 (especially seasons 1 and 2) and certainly you have to make allowances for the budget and the time it was made. But when I was first watching, I would...

It's good to see the old familiar faces. Well, the old familiar usernames. Place looks good, Ant. A nice balance between upgrades and continuity.

Hmmm. Leaning on the nostalgia a lot, I take it -- lots of direct quotes from the show, etc. I'm not yet impressed. And some of the delivery just sounds... off. Not the new actors (that's understandable and usually unavoidable) -- the pacing and delivery. On the plus side, JMS did come up with...

Yeah, I didn't like how the books rewrote some stuff the show showed, especially the Technomage books. That was why the Psi Corps trilogy (which kept to before/after the series) was my fave by far -- especially the first one, which covered an enormous amount of ground incredibly fast and...

I don't do reaction videos... not so much for Ant's reasons, but because I know I'd never stop watching them. Medusa was my one and only exception. So her emotion about saying goodbye to the show had a bit of a mirror in me, as I was saying goodbye to her, too.

Technically we already had a multiverse situation, as there was that timeline with the station under attack in Babylon Squared and War Without End. This does feel like a bit of following the herd, with all the franchises already mentioned -- but a thought just popped into my head: B5 never had...

My gut says "Never explain anything with malice that can be explained by incompetence." Or in this case, complacence. I also think JMS loves to set up characters who are stubborn and dig in their heels for no particular reason, because... well, because humans do that all the frickin' time. But...

For the longest time I felt I was "new" because I wasn't here from the very start. But at this point, that means I've only been here for 95% of the site's lifetime... Of course, 95% of the site's posts are in Babbleon. But hey, they're having a good time in there. Edit: well, actually 43%...

I check in maybe once a week. Glad to see some old familiar names, and I hope I see a few more soon!

Yup. I seem to remember something about the Vree and the Streib being related. They at least seem to have similar modes of operation...

That was a lot of fun. Not only does he still remember how to do the voice... he could do actual Londo-sounding speechifying off the top of his head.

So after a kerfuffle with WB, Medusa is back to posting B5 recaps. She just did "The Face of the Enemy" and was appropriately furious in, like, five different directions. I'm quite looking forward to her reaction to "Intersections in Real Time," although "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars"...

Octavia Butler springs to mind.

There are lots of them! But they don't get made, or get made on small scales, because we have to remember that the investors aren't in this to make art, they're in this to make cash. And proven commodities are much more likely to make cash than new and daring ideas. I've heard it argued that...

I watched a few, skipping around to see her reactions to my favorite jaw-dropping moments. It's really fun to watch her reactions. (Also when she predicts what the characters are going to say next.) Never really saw the point of reaction videos until now. Ah, I needed this... I needed the...

Futurama's coming back? That show has more lives than an exceptionally lucky cat. HBO does seem to nurse its shows a bit. And they can hardly complain about low numbers if it's behind a paywall.
