I like Soul Hunter alright .. It's not the very best episode ever, but I also don't think it's terrible. I don't think it would have been a great loss if we had seen a Babylon 5 universe without Soul Hunters in it, but on the other hand, there could be all kinds of really exciting back story...

Spoilers for later seasons of B5 below. Skip this entire comment if you're concerned about spoilers. Great list! Reading through it, however, it occurs to me that I didn't explain myself clearly. I meant to single out those Centauri visions of the future as the one (or one of the few, as it...

So, I wrote that bit about how the Centauri seeing the future might be the only "magical" element in the B5 universe and then started watching the next episode, which is, of course, Soul Hunter. Kinda forgot about those guys for a second there :p I'll put my thoughts on that in the appropriate...

What an excellent first episode this is! It is interesting to both the first-time and the repeat viewer. There is SO much story information in there, so many seemingly little things that will turn out to be important later. Every detail matters, but all this information is presented in sort of...

Stuff I forgot: - G’Kar gets Londo to conspire with him on the Sinclair extradition vote by blackmailing him with information about his family. Apparently his family committed “certain atrocities” during the war, and he doesn’t want this information publicly known. I gotta ask why. Seems like...

Spoilers for later seasons of Babylon 5 below. SO many spoilers. Hmm, no I’m pretty sure I watched the newer version of the pilot. I can’t even remember the old version. I never owned it in any format, I think. So, it’s just that I TOTALLY didn’t get what was happening in that scene. Yea, I...

Goodness, I have a lot to say about this :o I just watched The Gathering for the first time in a few years. I don’t always include it when I start watching Babylon 5, and happened to skip it on my most recent re-watch. It had probably been about three years since I last watched it. I haven’t...

I have! I only recently watched Legend of the Rangers for the first time. I posted in the thread, here: http://www.b5tv.com/showthread.php?t=9932 I haven't recently re-watched Lost Tales, so I haven't posted in that thread yet. I bought that when it was new. My expectations had been a bit too...

Eh, it was alright. I agree that there was a bit too much discussion on pushing the button and who was going to do it … that did give Dr. Franklin another opportunity to do his “As a doctor, I … “ speechifying. Such drama! It IS nice to see Dr. Franklin again, although that thin...

Well, that was weird … But, it’s kind of cute. Although I agree with KoshN that the alien head prosthetics weren’t so great, I think the costume department still did a great job on this episode, because I could tell that those two aliens were supposed to be Mulder and Scully before anyone even...

So much left to learn about that character. It's a shame.

I actually really liked this one! More so than any of the previous episodes I watched. It somehow felt more Babylon 5-ey to me, too. It’s a bit heavy-handed perhaps, near the end, when its message is carefully explained to us. There’s some other minor details I’m not entirely crazy about, like...

I'm kind of curious to know what, exactly, his new job is, since (obviously) neither the Ministry of Peace nor the Nightwatch are around any longer. Yea, I can buy "slimy person can just get a different job". I think that happens in the real world all the time :p Perhaps my use of "surprising"...

I haven't read any of the books/comics that deal with the telepath war and what happens with the Psi Corps between the events of Babylon 5 and the events of Crusade. I have, however, seen lots of references to it on here, so I have a vague idea ... Is this where Lennier and Lyta die?

Yea, that is a fair point, and I think I've conceded it elsewhere (I'm always kind torn between not wanting to repeat myself too much and not wanting to assume that everyone reading a particular thread has necessarily read all the other episode threads). It DOES make sense for archaeology to be...

So The Well of Forever was supposed to air after the second uniform change? If I were more familiar with these episodes I guess it wouldn't bother me and I could just watch them in whatever order made the most sense, but watching this for the first time it's definitely confusing. It's...

My favorite thing about this episode is that it has the old ISN anchor :) It also has that guy from A Day in the Strife with the big spiky club thing, but I'm assuming that's not supposed to be the same character :p So the nanovirus shield Dr. Chambers develops is the one we saw used in The...

I just watched two episodes back to back, and they're kinda blending together in my mind, so I hope I'm posting this in the right thread ... Overall, this is an OK episode, but it has some silliness. Those scenes of Gideon on his ... scooter thing flying through the dead city? Super silly...

I'm not all that into Eilerson and his magical linguist skills, but I LOVE that they brought back Mr. Welles! I like that character and I like that actor (even more so as Neroon, but he doesn't need to be Neroon to be good .. ). I was pleased to see him again, although also a bit puzzled. It's...

Yea, I can accept both of those. It DOES make sense for it to be more random encounters and stuff like that, AND there's only the handful of episodes. I'm also just going through for the first time ever, and haven't even seen all episodes yet. I've had almost twenty years to think about all 110...
