    Babylon 5 newbies? (Richard Biggs - RIP)

    Boy, the last half of these season sets just whip by. Terrific cliffhangers and some interesting twists and turns. It was interesting how G'Kar starts off as such a thoroughly unsympathetic character and at least thus far wins most everyone over. Dust to Dust has to stand as one of my favorite...

    Babylon 5 newbies? (Richard Biggs - RIP)

    I'm up through the episode Point of No Return, and things are certainly moving briskly again, after a couple disappointing filler episodes. I particularly liked Dust to Dust. Without getting into verboten political territory, there's certainly a lot of timely discussion ion display here, such as...

    OK, well, I'll trust you guys and continue on with Season 3 in August. Not that there was a lot of chance that I wouldn't.... ;)

    One of the more entertaining concepts thus far has been the episode regarding the Technomages. Are they gone for good, or do they make a reappearance? They seem like a nifty notion for a throwaway part.

    Perhaps some of my disappointment with the finale is that given the thematic material thus far, not to mention the episode names, I was expecting this to be a very dark resolution/cliffhanger to the season, and it didn't play out that way at all. Instead one is left with the feeling that, oh...

    Thanks for the link. At least they did fix the subtitles on the DVD so they say "East End" instead of the erroneous "West End" spoken by Sheridan. One thing completely unexpected is that I'm enjoying Stephen Furst more and more; he's really doing a great job with the character of Vir and...

    Just finished S2 yesterday, doing the last 2 discs in rapid succession. Generally terrific stuff, but the last 2 episodes were a huge letdown. The Inquisitor episode was just plain unsubtle and ham-handed; once he said when and where he was from, it was obvious who he was. JMS didn't need to...

    The spoilers about the series ending didn't seem to me to be a connecting-the-dots though, but just a gratuitous comment that easily could have been omitted or referenced in a slightly more obtuse manner. Or at least a warning given that there would be GIGANTIC spoilers present. Anyway, I'm...

    I'm a newbie too. Just made it up to episode 16 (Eyes) of season 1 but I have season 2 here and all ready to go. I can't believe that people watched this & followed it with episodes a week apart---you get a heck of a lot more out of it watching them back to back to back. The problem is, what to...
