You have a very valid point there. If I chose that one first, I may end up never watching any other episode ever again.

I think I should demand a refund and therefore free copy tbh.
Still haven't watched any of it either. |

What?!? NOOO! You're missing out quite a few things. A hell of a lot of things tbh. You need to watch B5 from "The Gathering" to the end. B5 is about characters, about how they grow and change. Its about making choices and living with the consequences. By skipping season 1 you're skipping an entire year of their lives. Its like skipping the 1st Lord of the Rings.
Ok so one part is a tad dull but it has some awesome moments with Marcus. If you want top eps... Messages from Earth Severed Dreams Shadow Dancing Into the Fire War without end 1 & 2 Z'ha Dum Babylon Squared The coming of the shadows, omg! No surrender, no retreat End game Each end of season cliff hanger Thank god this thing isn't available as a drug There is one episode I haven't watched in about 5 years. Thats the final one. I've got a strong desire to watch it with the commentary but its quite an episode. I heard that JMS also hadn't rewatched the episode for about 5 years before doing the commentary. I can't imagine how hard that must have been for him. Well, I can a little I guess. |

You mean the end of Season 5. Yeah, it is a bit of a :undecided: type, and I've not watched it in a long time.
Very good list there btw. Recognise some of the names but not all. |

Holy Thread resurrection...
I've been working my way through B5 courtesy of my LoveFilm subscriptions. It makes ideal viewing for my commute, one episode each way. I've got a half dozen episodes left of series 2 and am absolutely loving it. Can't believe I mostly missed this back in the day and wrote it off as not being all that good. Some of the concepts introduced so far are quite interesting to my geeky mind. Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read! The episode I saw today resulted in Vir showing some amazing backbone in dealing with Morden (loved his response to the "What do you want" question), and Nightwatch. Nightwatch sounds great in theory, and the way the mini-pax guy was presenting it made it seem like a good idea, but some of the way he said stuff made me think its going to turn into secret police or similar, maybe Gestapo style? We'll see I guess End Spoiler Alert!

Vir's words should be remembered - that's all I'll say about that. As for Nightwatch, you'll find out your answer soon enough. End Spoiler Alert! |

I just rewatched S2-4 the other week. It still hasn't been beaten by any other show imho. Its a shame most shows now rely on the old final 5 minutes to create drama and hook people in for the next episode. 24 for example. If I lived in their universe I wouldn't do anything for 50 minutes. Then I'd go out for a beer. No way in hell I'm sticking around CTU close to the hour
