I find I have surprisingly little to say about Chrysalis. It's a great season ender! This is Babylon 5 at its Babylon 5-iest. There's so much stuff going on, it's all very exciting. Imagine having to wait to see what happens next! (maybe you don't have to imagine if you can remember watching...

I like this episode well enough. It gives some info on Centauri and Minbari cultures (and biology :p), but it mostly gives a lot of information about Earth and its colonies/dependencies. Or partial info, that leaves me with SO MANY questions ... The justice system is ... interesting. I feel...

Hmm, I never thought he sounded German. I always got a Roman vibe off the Centauri. Obviously there are many influences there and they look a lot like any Empire. The Roman thing is just my personal bias (and the polytheism :P ). There's definitely a lot of 19th century European empire there...

Interesting question, but difficult to answer. For me, at least. If I were to aim for just answering the "who made the show really worth watching" part of the question, I'd have to go with the perhaps something boring "all of them together!". Springer makes a great point about whose story this...

I agree. Hence my surprise at the fact that this situation appeared to be unprecedented, and there was no protocol. But, now that I think on it some more, perhaps there is no protocol because this sort of thing doesn't really happen among humans in the 23rd century B5 universe ... It's a...

Heh. Somehow I think that might be a bit TOO over the top, even for me :p

This wasn't directed at me, and I actually wouldn't call them "smug" as such, but I do think their attitude is a little worse than just "impolite". Definitely arrogant, somewhat condescending. If you truly believe that your species is the chosen species and all other sentient beings are lesser...

It's interesting, I've seen several threads recently where people commented on how they thought a certain character was over the top (Orin Zento here, Ari Ben Zayn in "Eyes", Captain Pierce in "A Voice in the Wilderness"). I liked all of them exactly as they were. Apparently I have a thing for...

I think that's both true and well-put. Still, I feel Signs and Portents is really more of a "build" episode than a "reveal" episode (like, say, The Fall of Night, or War Without End). Then again, there's no reason an episode can't be a little bit of both :)

Babylon Squared is a great episode. I love how it quietly sits right next to A Voice in the Wilderness, as though the two have nothing to do with each other :) Mostly I love how it shows us a glimpse of what is to come, and how it fits so seamlessly with WWE (OK, except for those details that...

I am way more excited about this episode than the other posters in this thread :) I just really like A Voice in the Wilderness. It's possible I like it more for how it fits with the larger story than for its own story, but I find that a hard distinction to make. I (sadly) can't remember now how...

I'm definitely a fan of "A Voice in the Wilderness". Both of the whole as of parts 1 and 2 individually. I love Draal. I have a PC named after him :) I think "Quickly, what's the third principle of sentient life?" is a great line because it makes me wonder what the other principles are. Also...

I like this one alright ... I think it's fairly average overall, but it does have some exciting things in it. The introduction of Neroon, for one. I always liked that character. The conflict between Warrior and Religious castes is interesting, and of course will be very important later on. I do...

Oh, hey, that makes perfect sense! I mean, for use on the high seas, not for use on Babylon 5, although maybe they bought those after that incident in "The Gathering" :p I'm sometimes amused at the sort of items that prop people come up with for sci fi shows. I've definitely spotted some items...

I don't find her annoying, but I can definitely see where you're coming from. She's definitely a bit smug here and there. I'm kinda glad I don't find her too annoying because that would take away from my enjoyment of the episode. I tend to be overly sensitive to characters I find annoying...

Heh :lol:

I like this one. An "angry internal affairs dude has it in for Sinclair because he's jealous about having been passed over for the command" plot could be pretty "meh" by itself, but I love how this episode references everything that has come before, and includes a bunch of things that will be...

This is an intriguing theory, but I don't believe the Shadows knew anything about either John or Anna Sheridan at this point. [SPOILERS for Season 3]. In "Z'ha'Dum" we learn that Anna had been put into a Shadow ship after the crew of the Icarus found the Shadows on Z'ha'dum. When the Shadows...

Heh. I was including him in "very recognizable actors" :p I agree on him being the best gangster, but then I guess he didn't have much competition :p

I like "Grail" alright. It's not the most stellar B5 episode there ever was, but it does have that charming B5 feel to it. At least, I thought so. I do agree with others who said that something is a little off about the performance of actor who plays Jinxo. I don't really like to say stuff like...
