Farscape is definitely another show that wasn't given enough chances. I'll agree with you that anyone who liked Farscape probably would enjoy B5 for the same reasons they liked Farscape. One thing I did love about the show was how they depicted the main character's descent into no longer...

Same here. Really enjoyed it.

Thirdspace goes in the middle of season 4. It's referenced in later episodes so it needs to go there. The others go after season 5. You've forgotten Legend of the Rangers and Lost Tales though.

I do think it would be incredibly ironic if people were complaining at B5 for lack of use of a technique that they pioneered.

Those are episodes that did something different. Either we see things from the point of view of two minor characters, or as a news report rather than as an episode. Or as a single room drama. Babylon 5 did a lot of things differently from other shows. They liked to play with the idea of what...

Speaking as someone who only got into the show at Season 3 - I would have been completely lost if I hadn't watched it with a friend who could help me with the details I'd missed. I can't recommend skipping Season 1 at all. There are so many callbacks and mysteries from S1 that mean nothing if...

Yeah. I loved A View From The Gallery for the same reasons that I thought And Now For A Word or Intersections In Real Time were brilliant too. The whole premise of B5 (a single, ongoing story told over the course of 5 years) was something completely new in its day. But the crew weren't going...

Ah, Severed Dreams, one of my favourite episodes of the show without a doubt. As for seeing actors differently now, have you seen Walter Koenig in anything since starting? Cause for me I've stopped seeing Checkov, and started seeing Bester.

Oh you will absolutely love those two episodes.

Glad to see we're still getting new people to watch the show. As much as I liked Sinclair, Sheridan will always have a very special place in my heart so I feel that the show actually got better after season one. That's not due to the way O'Hare portrayed Sinclair in any way of course.

The Babylon Remaster was a dream given form....... We can only hope.

It is also worth remembering that Sheridan had been trained by Kosh in how to fight First Ones. He might not have realized at the time but it's possible that a lot of stuff clicked into place the first time he was confronted with one. Doesn't explain how Londo was able to do it though.

I'd kind of expect for it to be possible that a shadow warrior might be tougher than a shadow though.

Yeah, I don't know if the Shadows organised things, but they were definitely happy about the direction it went.

I've often seen Passing Through Gethsemane suggested and I can see why. For people who don't usually watch sci-fi it's a pretty good introduction and the sci-fi elements like telepaths take a back seat to interesting moral questions that would make for a good episode of something like Black...

I don't know. You could get a lot of entertainment out of trying to pinpoint the moment when the show jumped the shark. Was it Grey 17? TKO? Or did they keep the quality up and just have a very disappointing BSG style finale in The Gathering?

Everything. I might have not recommended Crusade unless you're really into B5 but rewatching it as part of Mark Watches is making me like it a whole lot more. The only thing I'd consider missing out is Legend of the Rangers because it doesn't go anywhere. Although I might say to miss Crusade...

One thing I noticed from the Mark Watches channel is that even five episodes a week of B5 might be too much. B5 really shouldn't be binge watched, it really does need time for each episode to sink in and become the new normal.

Sad news.

I tend to just simply say they were war crimes of a sexual nature. I can see that definitely still being something the Centauri would have a problem with.
