Excuse my three-years-later double post or reply to myself, but my current B5 watching schedule had a few more episodes I already commented on before I get to the ones where I left off last time, and I just noticed something in "A Race Through Dark Places" I didn't notice before! This scene...

I dunno, have you tried listening to the soundtrack, without any context or even any of the images? I occasionally give it a listen on Youtube (would purchase if I could, but it's a little hard to get!) and it basically just rips my heart right out every time.

Thanks, it's good to be back! :D

Haha, yes, I was noticing you posted a lot as well! I definitely didn't get as many emails about that, though. I think you posted a bunch in the handful of threads I haven't gotten to yet, plus posting multiple times in the same thread, which I wouldn't get a notification for. I am very pleased...

I definitely cry every time. Same with Boromir's death scene.... And the Grey Havens. I cry just THINKING about that one, much like Sleeping in Light :(

Please continue rambling! As I said in another thread, I've been getting email notifications about your posts and I've started looking forward to them. I really don't think you should feel inferior to any other posters. Your rambling made me want to log in to this forum again. Discussing B5 is...

I've been getting these emails notifying me of replies to threads, and I logged in for the first time in a few years just to say that the "well beyond pastels now" bit is my most favorite line in all of Babylon 5 ... only to find I kinda already said that in this very thread :p Anyway, it's...

Yes, I can sort of see that point as well, hence my phrasing it as "not all that unreasonable" rather that "reasonable". But, "neutral" isn't a total free-for-all. People weren't too keen on having Jha'Dur around. The Centauri aren't the Dilgar, obviously, but I'm not sure the difference is that...

I agree with the vast majority of posters here in that everything about this episode is excellent. Things are really happening here. The Centauri emperor story is interesting, Londo and G'Kar do their Londo and G'Kar thing, the war is happening, the rangers are introduced, and we get to see...

Although I always liked that that character was someone we'd seen before, I never considered the possibilities you raise here. I now wonder if that is in fact the implied meaning of that one character appearing in both those episodes. I like this episode. I generally like all Psi Corps-related...

WAIT. They don't actually have eyebrows ... Delenn doesn't even have them after her transition ... I'm still quite sure about the eyelashes, though :p

Huh, I never really noticed that. I mean, I noticed that there are Minbari with beards, but I didn't really think about how that makes no/little sense in a race that has no hair ... I guess they have eyebrows and eyelashes so perhaps we can assume that they too evolved from hairy ape-like...

That's a good point, I had never considered that :) I quite like this episode. The "unfinished storyline" thing is a shame, but by itself, this episode is perfectly fine, I think. I generally like all the Mars storylines because there's so many shades of grey there, it's all very interesting. I...

Those are good questions. I was kind of wondering the same thing. I mean, presumably the crew didn't just leave after the fight, and it's just that we didn't get to SEE the cleanup, but ti does feel a little rushed. "Ok, problem solved, let's all go home!" What about examining the remains...

That's a perfectly reasonable explanation, regarding the Clark thing. It makes perfect sense for him to be informed about all Earth's secrets upon becoming its president. It's maybe a little weird that Rathenn would be there when Sheridan is informed, but OK :)

This made me LOL. From the comments here and the text quoted from the Lurker's Guide, I can see that the ship was indeed supposed to be named after THAT Cortez, but I think I'm going to choose to believe that it was named for a fictional Cortez who perhaps did some early space exploration in the...

The Geometry of Shadows is the first Babylon 5 episode I ever (sort of, partially) watched. I happened to catch part of it on the TV one night, but I was busy with other stuff so I didn't really see much of it, and it wasn't until later that I really got into it and started watching from the...

Ooh, I should have checked this thread before I posted in the one for "Points of Departure". I didn't realize the discussion about the opening credits was in this thread, so I posted about it in the other one. Ah well. At least I have confirmation now that the opening credits used to be...

It's this scene of him sitting there, while you can hear some whimpering sounds coming from the direction of the chrysalis, in between Sinclair giving instructions to Garibaldi's second in Medlab, and G'Kar and Na'Toth talking to Ivanova on the train thing. I THINK this is the only time in the...

I like Points of Departure. Yea, it's kind of introduction-ey, but still, I think it has a lot going for it. Not the least of which is the introduction of Sheridan. I'm still kind of sad that there is VERY little Sinclair after this, but I do like the Sheridan character, and I like the...
