Played a round. Interesting little game with interesting decisions to make. My colonists became slaves to a post atomic horror civilization on a world spanning ocean planet  Edit: This might be as best as can be accomplished?

TraderStav posted:That’s fair. B5 uses the jump gate way of traversing the galaxy. Which I really enjoyed that they explored that quite a bit through the series. Native species to it, getting lost if not tethered, fleets hiding there, etc. In addition, in The Fall of Night they make the point that Centauri pilots can both withstand more g forces and also will happily black out in order to get the drop on someone in combat situations

Season 5 feels like a slog after s4 finale. I feel good for Lando finally. Really posting so I can find my post where I stopped the episodic watch-through. Longbaugh01 posted:Played a round. Interesting little game with interesting decisions to make. Having scored multiple games north of 11k I think you can do way better. A simple and very interesting game. Thanks to whoever suggested it.

You should keep playing and try to get even higher! I only played three games over a week ago. Also, the poster who suggested it is quoted in the very same post you just quoted.

Man the back end of s5 is really strong. I love lyta as badass psychic terrorist financier I'm watching with a friend and we're three from the end: sleeping in light is just going to destroy her.

I really enjoy how she has her own agency and isn't just a device for the episode's plot, building to S5's "Yes, that's a nice plan and all, but what do I get out of it? I need rent money."

A world in which the thematically-potent telepath arc of the first half was properly executed by an actor with real charisma and Lyta got some actual lines is a bright one in my mind

This...this hits harder than I thought. Way too close. More than just a very good show coming to an end. Did we do good in our lives, did we manage to achieve something? Was it all worth it? Will this all ever matter to someone other than just yourself? I'm having an existential crisis now. They did good on closing it all down. All arcs (major ones) finished, but its just a beginning of another journey. Although they might have chosen to save B5, buy it, also what happened to Epsilon 3 and many other questions...Like if G'Kar & Londo really happened that one day and why, what happened to G'Kar himself, Lyta? Oh... Now I have to summarize it all and write down in form of short episode reviews. Erulisse fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Mar 17, 2020 |

The early CGI is easily the worst part of the show. The Vorlon ship is especially hilarious.
