Just finished DS9 what a great show. It managed to end really strong too which not always the case for sci-fi series. If not for this thread i never would have bothered, so thanks to everyone who posted about the show here. Now onwards to B5.

I love Delenn’s badass standoff: Delenn: This is Ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw or be destroyed. Earthier: Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship. D: Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else. E: All ships return to base. Also, Starfury is the name of the fighter type, not a squadron name. The Earth Alliance mostly uses Starfuries but they are unable to operate in atmosphere. For that they have Thunderbolts (I believe some of them were shown bombing Mars).

So the new episode of Disco confirmed that the show takes place in a timeline that is more advanced because of all of the time travel shenanigans and that's why the ships don't look like cardboard submarines with knobs glued on.

Ghostlight posted:the holy grail is only associated with king arthur due to christian fanfiction. it's not canon. So, how do you distinguish Arthurian "canon" from "fan fiction"? The story of the Grail first gets associated with Arthur in the late 12th century, in Chrétien de Troyes's "Percival" If that's fan fiction, so is Lancelot, because he wrote them both. If they're fan fiction, is Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain, which is early 12th century? That gives us Genevieve and Merlin.

Starfuries are the fighter craft, the squadrons are Delta and Zeta. Also giving Ivanova Bacon and Eggs is a serious  moment for all concerned - they're in deep space,and nothing gets to B5 fast from Earth because of shipping and customs at each port enroute, let alone perishable goods. How the gently caress did Marcus GET bacon and eggs?

Man B5 has some great and timely social commentary. These extremely racist social-darwinist aliens come aboard and keep talking about how these alien cultures are so inferior because they meddle with natural evolution. Then they see the station's victims of capitalism and suddenly respect humanity for developing a system which so effectively punishes and destroys the weak and inferior and it's even more direct than their hands-off approach to evolution. It's so good because these aliens keep going on about evolution and letting inferior beings die so they can't pollute the gene pool and you're supposed to think they're such horrible jerks and humans are so much better for not having a mindset like that. Then you see all miserable poor slum dwellers and the aliens are all "Oh my we just dispassionately allow evolution to occur naturally, but you purposefully isolate and disenfranchise the weak of your own species and exploit them as cheap labour?!?! We didn't even think of something so diabolical!" Then ivanova fucks the dude by dancing.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:I am really surprised B5 doesn't have a few chicken coops tbh Lol, no. That's a big thing to do logistically, and you lose money every step of the way. You have to feed the animals. Get them vaccinated. Care for them enroute, with all the life support costs for a trip that might take up to several weeks through multiple quarantine stops because you're shipping live animals. Pay for dedicated handlers for each trip. By the end you're either charging an obscene premium or taking a loss. It's not like you're just loading them up in a truck and driving a few hours down the road to the abattoir. That doesn't cover just trying get a couple-dozen cows or chickens into orbit and having them stay calm in zero-g for long periods. Keeping farm animals on place like Babylon 5 is also just not going to happen for a bunch of its own reasons, the big one being (ironically) space. They'd have to go in the central cylinder where all the plants are just to graze and stay happy, and the kind of space an industrially-sustainable population of even chickens would need is just non-viable for what could be taken up with fruit and vegetable-bearing plants that also produce much-needed oxygen.

It's pretty easy to imagine space traders making a bundle on such a space station by bringing relatively fresh foodstuffs, both familiar and exotic, and charging a premium because it's going to be a welcome change from efficient hydroponics and synthetic foodstuffs. The best you can do for livestock is probably crickets.

i figured livestock would be a bad idea for a station like that due to diseases. also eating other animals is barbaric and makes humans look even more like morons to probably half the galaxy

It just tends to be stuff that's a little closer than Earth, less perishable, or at a massive premium to get there before it spoils. Also Spoo is an animal enjoyed as a delicacy by most races.
