Whose Battle of the Line is it Anyway? Sounds like something the warrior caste said when asked to surrender.

It's like people aren't willing to consider that a major reason that CW greenlit the B5 reboot was so that they could stop making exactly the same kind of show. I don't even mind Arrow / The Flash but it's not like they're such massive ratings grabbers that the network would be insisting that...

JMS never got the chance to tell the stories he had planned for Crusade or Legend of the Rangers. And he's definitely sneaky enough to claim he's rebooting B5 and then just use those plotlines instead. That's probably not what he'll do, but if the show is different from B5 and not just a...

Reminds me of the GINO people (Galactica In Name Only) - They were all nuttier than squirrel poo.

It does show that he knows it was the most important innovation, but it doesn't prove that he won't try to be innovative by doing something else this time. It's exactly innovative to do the same thing again. I hope he will, but I'm not taking that statement as proof, I'd want something a...

Here's the big question no one seems to be asking. "Does he already know how it will end?" What I'm hoping for is a completely different story as different as Battlestar Galactica was from the original but with the whole series known from beginning to end so that "The Plan" doesn't feel tacked...

Well I guess I'm rewatching B5 again. I know there are only three episodes on there but there's no way I'm only watching 3 episodes of B5 and not going to end up watching more.

https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/babylon-5-creator-volunteers-replace-chris-chibnall-doctor-who-newsupdate/ All my yes. I think JMS would do an absolutely incredible job at it.

Well technically Londo was married once before he married Timov. To the dancer he tells Garibaldi about. So we'd need a fifth horseman before it could be Adira since she wasn't his wife. I still prefer the interpretation of Londo being War as it applies at the time time he said it, and not a...

Slow acting poison.

But it's so simple, are the Thenta Makur the sort of assassin who would have put the poison in the berry closest to you or the berry closest to her. Now a clever assassin would have poisoned Ivanova's berry because they'd have known that only a great fool eats the berry in front of him...

There definitely is a demand for it. Just that the bar for a reboot is so high that very few people honestly believe a new show could clear it. That said, a shitty reboot might actually be a good thing for the show. We'd all be pointing at the original and saying "Just watch that. It was so...

This episode almost made me write off B5. It was the first one I saw and it basically made the show look like a sub-Trek rip-off with none of the interesting ideas or themes of Trek. The few good bits are almost invisible until you rewatch (or are missing the setup like Garibaldi's speech to...

You didn't like By Any Means Necessary?

Ironically it's now been long enough since the show aired that we could have a "Susan Ivanova - Leader of the Rangers" show.

Yep. It's astounding how much the second viewing of B5 gives you. Cause now you see all the foreshadowing that was totally subtle for what it really is. Things like in Infection where they mention a great war a thousand years ago which just seems like a throwaway line until you rewatch and...

I don't recall this being mentioned here so I'll post it. I've been watching a pretty cool YouTube channel recently. They're called Babble For Five and the idea is that they are a married couple, she's a long time fan while he's never watched the show and has kinda had his arm twisted into...

I personally love the body swap episode. If only for the fact that John does exactly what most men would do if they found themselves in Claudia Black's body all of a sudden. Every other show I've ever seen has been pretty coy about the issue.

Which makes this the perfect place to point out something I just saw on a YouTube comment. Sheridan literally married a woman from each caste, Warrior, then Worker, and finally Religious.

I definitely agree that S1 improves more than any other season on rewatch.
