It is good to have friends, is it not, Mr. Garibaldi? Even if maybe only for a little while?

Now, I go to spread happiness to the rest of ~~the station~~ lemmy. It is a terrible responsibility but I have learned to live with it.
Mr. Garibaldi
I can’t help but hear this in his voice
Ah, Meestah Garibaldi!
I am 100% on board for B5 characters lying in wait to jump out among the trek memes.
Yeah. Can we make this an official tradition?
I'll do my best to throw one in every now and then.
AND SO IT BEGINS
It's from Babylon 5, for anybody coming to the comments and wasn't familiar with what show this is from.
M'star trek peeps, is the show worth watching? I've never seen it, and I've heard mixed reviews.
100% worth it. With the caveat that the effects aren't good. The story and characters more than make up for it though.
The cgi was done on Amigas IIRC
Maya did what it could. The effects were amazing for a TV series at the time.
100%
S1 is rough, but it really picks up right out of the gate in S2. The last season is halfway to a different show, it's skippable. Crusader is fine, too; it's not great, but I don't regret watching it.
Oh my god yes. I’m surprised you’re not watching it now. There’s a good amount of 90s camp and cheese, but the bones are very, very solid.
It's widely considered the most contiguous SciFi series out there. The director started with 5 years of scripts and changed very little during production, other than losing the main character between seasons 2 and 3, due to medical complications. I personally consider Bab 5 to be as good, if not better than both Firefly and Farscape.
In the past year it was released in 4K. As others have said, the effects are not great, but growing up in that era, it felt a little nostalgic.
I was pretty hooked on it for a while. I got kinda burned out on the last season. It’s not that it wasn’t good, I just binged it too hard.

Londo my beloved
It's cheesy and cheap and often very manichaean. Yet, it's very interesting and got me hooked to an extent that nothing on the Star Trek universe managed to.
manichaean
I learned a new word today. Thanks!
Much of season one is outright bad. The remaining seasons are really good.
You moon-faced assassin of joy
Poor Vir. Londo treats him so poorly.
Post psi corps memes.
Psi Corp and techno mage are fantastic creations in that universe.
With holo decks everything is in universe. This could just be a holodrama.
Slap a portable holo emitter on Mr. Garibaldi post haste!
Gods, Vir!
I'm fed up with your fabrications, Mollari!
I can hear this meme
