I dipped my toe into it when I saw full episodes available for free on YouTube. At first I thought it was horrible and schlocky 1990s low budget sci fi, but why am I so compelled to continue watching?!

I’m on episode 3 of season one. I can’t stop watching now.

By Season 3, it would be 12:30 AM on a work night, I'd get to the end of an episode, and I'd say "Goddammit, now I have to watch the next one and find out what happens!!!"

There was a point in Season 4 where I had to force myself to turn off the TV every night, or else I would be up for hours. "Okay, that's the last one for tonight, I HAVE to go to bed now!"

I love this show.

"The Wheel of Fire" (s5e19)

Stumbled across B5 and currently watching it for the first time. To say that every other form of entertainment, has been put on a pause, would be an understatement.

I was at a water park yesterday and these were the colours of one of the attractions. I immediately thought of this sub. Then decided this attraction wasn’t for me. It had nothing to do with the attraction itself. Nuh-uh

To make it worse they asks “which do you want?”

Save the 2nd G'Quan, the Sko'kar and Da'kar my Narn fleet's done, now with the fighters :) The EA Squadron's all done too and I put letters on them to make them easier to ID when playing.

"The Summoning" (s4e3)

As they are beings of light that operate somewhat clandestinely, are they.....

are they the illuminati?!

Found this on a delivery truck.

Bought a few of the second edition of the B5 RPG. All written by Gareth Hanrahan. The Final Flight of Santiago is one of my favourite RPG scenarios.

"All Alone in the Night" (s2e11)

It is kind of funny to say it since so many episodes, including the torture ones are dark. But the betrayal of trust on this one, just wow.

He does mention working on B5 (this was just after Mind War) among other parts of his career.

Individual shots from that same DragonCon 2001 (back when they used to allow you to take candid photos of the actors in the Walk of Fame): Richard, Mira, Jerry, and as a bonus, Jason Carter (or, as we called him back then, "Poetry Boy"), who, thank goodness, is still with us.

Even though it never made sense and I get why they didn’t, a conversation between these two would’ve been rly funny

So aside from some xenophobia and anti-Earth sentiments you can tell that they didn’t put too much effort into developing cultures on the space colonies, compared to The Expanse. In short they made no effort to creating unique human spacenoid cultures with their own language, lifestyle, material culture, and their own unique set of values, norms, and beliefs.

But I have been wondering, are there any fanfics that do a better job at worldbuilding human space cultures in Babylon 5? If not, how would you worldbuild human space culture in Babylon 5? What common values, norms, and beliefs would they have? Would they be as xenophobic as their Earther counterparts? And what would their material culture look like in terms of art, games, music, food etc?

Rockford Files just became available on Apple+. Watching the pilot and look who pops up.

It's such a frustrating movie. Some of those made for TV movies are just aggravating as all get out. They feel very rushed or very experimental. I'm still going to watch them all but it just depresses me every time I watch third space. I think the biggest thing is that we have to come up with some race that's more powerful than the vorlons or shadows and that's just stupid
