Babylon 5 - Watch Mega Thread (en.wikipedia.org)

I've decided to do my first Babylon 5 rewatch!

Lets have a binge thread to talk about B5!

I would love to find a 4k remaster of the series, there are some great demo videos on youtube, but on the streaming sites I can only find 720p. If you have any trouble choosing which streaming service to use just search for fmhy and they will have a curated list of options.

TV shows were wild back then, 22 episodes per season, 45 minutes each; 1000 minutes per season!

Season 2 Thoughts and Comments

Over this season we see earth fall in with the secret police, who are different than the psycorps. Earth force is a very dangerous place for good people to be now.

The shadows and vorlons have revealed themselves as agents of good and evil respectively.

Lando is well onto the path of space Khan, naked hunger for expansionist empire. Right now he is somewhat reluctant, but when pressed uses grand anger as a shield. He is in the backseat, but he is responsible, and its tearing him apart. Who is to say where the shadows have also influenced.

We end the season with a Earth Centauri non-aggression pact, and Centurian expansionism into all of its neighbors.

The membari have been very quiet this season.

The purpose of Babylon 4 and its space jumping haven't been hinted at.

What will happen to the vorlon timelord jack the ripper now?

Overall - The season has good intrigue setup, I'm now emotionally invested. I'd say less filler in this season, but still quite high maybe 30% totally B plot episodes.

The pieces are on the chess board now!
