You really want to know what *I* want? You really want to know the truth? I want my people to reclaim their rightful place in the galaxy. I want to see the Centauri stretch forth their hand again, and command the stars. I want a rebirth of a glory, a renaissance of power. I want to stop running through my life like a man late for an appointment, afraid to look back or look forward. I want us to be WHAT WE USED TO BE! I want it all back, THE WAY THAT IT WAS. Does that answer your question?
You really want to know what *I* want? You really want to know the truth...

One of the greatest scenes in the entire show.
This.
Babylon 5 was obscenely great. The writing, the actors, the visual aesthetic. I still consider it to be the greatest television sci-fi of all time.
JMS though, while I respect him for his talents and what he created, as well as being an amazing, awesome human being, has gone off the deep end in his liberalness lately. That botched fucking dumpster fire of a thriller/sci-fi series he did with the Wachowski Traps is a good example. It's typical these days of anyone in the entertainment/Hollywood industry who want to remain relevant or continue to work in it. I think it's caused him to view even his own work in different ways now than he would prior.
Clark/Nightwatch/Psi Corps were closer to Clinton and Obama than they'll ever be to MAGA.

They're the human's problem, not the Centauri's.
The Centauri basically lost their desire to be what they once were, with no actual catastrophic event causing it, just a slow decline.
Jason Watson
Well, he's right.
The show is a hippie dream where all species and races come together and fight off the old ways, i.e., conflict (Shadows) and order (Vorlons).
Jeremiah Morales
then why does the left only criticize Trump?
They are victim to the same tribalism of all politics and defend their "team" despite being morally reprehensible
Ryder Collins
Of course, he's also wrong in that you can support an ideology that is portrayed as bad by the writer.
I agree with the Shadows that might makes right and leads to a stronger species via warfare, and it's not because I don't understand the show, it's just that my opinion aligns with something JMS thinks is bad.
Matthew Powell
JMS would have voted for Hillary, so he's a hypocritical retard. Trump is the least warmongering president the US has had since Carter.
JMS also copied and plagiarized a lot from other Sci-Fi authors and film makers.

basically you've been groomed to believe that people on the left can't criticise Obama, and now that I've given you evidence, it's blowing your mind and you're in denial. This is fascinating
The left have been huge critics of Obama, the reason you don't think so is because you were told that the liberal media= left, when that's not the case. the media is owned by corporations, why would they support the left?

Bentley Morales
Marcus was actually a pretty good character in the long run.
The series was solid until, obviously, season 5.
My biggest gripe with the show was hoe Sheridan was the hero, yet treat Lyta like utter dogshit through the entire run (and basically telepaths in general, starting with Talia, then all through his acquaintance with Lyta and even using the ones in cryo as weapons). I get it that on a deeper level JMS was wanting to use them as a metaphor for unseen/slave peoples but overall it would've made the show much more compelling had Sheridan at least /thanked/ Lyta once or twice instead of threatening to turn her over to Psi Corps, blow the back of her skull off, et cetera.

And lyta wa super overpowered telepath if she turned at any point they would have lost. No sure how Sheridan did not even want to give her a good room to sleep in it at least pretend to like her a bit.
Jackson Hall
>There is no difference between you marxists and "liberals."
you're an idiot. People since C wright Mills in the 1950s have been writing about the difference.
liberals: reform the state and put our good people in charge
Marxists: dismantle the links between state and capitalism and redesign the state so the people are in charge.

It was painful to watch mr. Garibaldy went from badass wearing old fashioned hat and shiet, to balding cuck in later seasons.
Although he kinda avenged everyone, by god was he fucked hard.
Austin Price
granted, I can't imagine the nightmare of meticulously planning out a series over 5 seasons only to be told you only have until halfway through the fourth to wrap up the central conflict, and then being told afterwards you have five seasons again and have to keep moving the plot forward
but my god, I started to groan every time I realized it was another psi corps episode and instead of interesting alien races/technology/worldbuilding/philosophy/conflict it was just going to be 40 minutes of weird people in gloves and jackboots standing around talking eachother to death

This show was too good. Seriously, the writing was so good that it transcended the shitty CGI and occasionally wooden performances. Actors like the guy in pic-related certainly helped, but above all, it was the rock-solid writing. If any show has ever deserved a re-telling, it’s this one.

Hunter Bailey
For some reason sci-fi has a lot of degenerates that want to imagine all of the kinky sex we are going to be having in the future. I almost refused to watch The Next Generation because of the orgy planet episode and the episode where the so called security captain gets kidnapped by a warlord and she practically falls in love with him.

Characters seeing glimpses of the future which make them alter their decisions in the hopes of stopping it and inadvertently cause the future they saw to come to pass is the best possible form of a time travel plot
Grayson Reyes
Saw 2 episodes of this and couldnt watch anymore
Brandon Collins
He's not right. That has nothing to with Trump. He is only right if you buy into the bullshit propaganda that Trump is an evil racist and fascist. There is nothing racist or wrong about protecting your borders, that is 100% necessary to keep the country functioning. Commander Sheridan wouldn't let that happen to B5.
Parker Watson

Most of their surviving cruisers were seized by the Centauri. After the Centauri left they probably just left them behind.
Ryder Cox
stupid accent, bad acting, corny dialogue and concept
I'd rather watch deep space nine
Samuel Morgan
Yea it's also my only gripe with Farscape, too much needless sexual content. Not saying I don't want to see Aeryn, Chianna, Zhaan, and Sikozu being sexy. But I really don't want to see Chianna banging D'argo's son.
I tried too once and I had no clue what was going on, it might be too weird even for me.
Thankfully they changed directions. They killed off the shit security woman early. I truly believe that's what saved the show. It went from mediocre/bad to fantastic in 1 episode. The only problem is they kept bringing her back for an episode here and there.
Eli Davis
I don't like him because he isn't right-wing enough. At the end of the day he's still a toothless israel-loving boomer neocon. He makes a huge media fuss over sending a few hundred back while hundreds of thousands come over every year with no recourse. Demoralizing leftism has taken such a root in the fabric of society that even he is considered a repugnant monster despite not actually doing much.
Juan Perry
And when someone tries to resurrect him to manipulate and enslave his corpse, he'll be so based that he'll BTFO any attempt to do so.
Asher Bailey
That episode was great, it should have been the series finale. All the stuff afterward with the Drakh and Sheridan disappearing like Obi-Wan Kenobi felt like a letdown. Crusade could have been good, but they canceled it just as it was starting to hit its stride.
Hunter Lewis
Does anybody here watch this on VUDU or am I the only one?
VUDU's the only place you can watch this in proper 4:3 and nobody's pirated it yet because there's no crack for VUDU, AFAIK.
Joseph Foster
>bad acting
That is objectively wrong. B5 has the best acting of any sci-fi show I've seen. There are a few exceptions here and there of course. Lyta the redhead psychic is possibly the worst actress I've ever seen.
Jace Roberts

I was kidding, user. Lexx is choke-full of sexual content; it's in the center of its premise. And it's a lot more weird than in other shows.

He’s a repugnant growth on the side of a dead government. He represents corporate control over all political narratives. He has no actual power and represents how totally irrelevant the presidency has become, yet still blusters and boasts, because that’s all he can do, all he’s ever done.

Londo = Hitler on b4, got turned into a bad guy and was punished with a cruel sad ending. To Straczynski republicans = Nazies because IT WAS HER TURN, and he doesn't like you.

Everyone dies around me, Mr. Morden. Except the ones that most deserve it. That is about to change. You said that you would go away for as long as I wanted. I no longer want that. All I want now…is revenge. They took from me the one thing that I have…have ever truly loved. And you will help me, Mr. Morden, to strike them down. Give me this, and the safety of my people…and let the rest of the galaxy burn....I don't care any more.

It means if you dont have physical contact with something you shouldn't be considered the owner.
Like swiss bank banks accounts, the stuff you leave at home, or rental properties (except corporate owned business rentals, those are cool).
Ownership is lame except for the cabins and yachts that my daddy is going leave to me in his will, like we're used to having that stuff so we need it.
Not like people's businesses. Business and money are lame. Soon they'll be outlawed. Except for my trust fund cause that money belongs to me.
Death to capitalism!
Business will be outlawed soon cause money is lame

The Narn got what they deserved. I kind of hate the series trying to make you sympathize with them so heavily.

His father wss based:
My father wasn’t a historian, a World War II buff, or a soldier who brought back German artifacts as trophies. These were his personal mementos from his time with German soldiers who taught him the value of Nazism and took him along to beat Jews. The display included his swastika armband, Nazi cigarette coupons, photos of the soldiers who were his friends, and a German military hat proudly set on the bar. It wasn’t just Nazi stuff, it was his Nazi stuff, cherished and revisited as one might page through a high school yearbook, with nostalgia and something very close to reverence.
And in his bedroom closet, safe in a plastic dry-cleaning bag, was the German uniform jacket made for him by his pals in the unit, which he had secretly held on to in defiance of orders from Sophia to destroy any incriminating evidence from that time. Quoting my uncle Ted’s brother Frank years later, “I was told by Theresa that Charles buried it after he saw that partisans annihilated totally a family suspected of collaborating with the Germans.”
My father would take it out of the plastic, slip the swastika onto the arm, hang it on the closet door, and just look at it for a long time before resignedly putting it back in the closet again.
Evan Wilson
Fucking Narniggers. I should revisit season 5.
The show dosen't feel the same though without the politics and looming Shadows.
Evan Peterson
season 5 gets a bad rap, i wasn't as GOAT as 2-4 obviously, and the shit with byron and the telepaths isn't great, but the centauri stuff is as good as ever.
