VideoGames posted:It suddenly occurred to me mid-episode 2 when I realised I had not seen G-Kar or Londo and even though I missed them, I appreciated that a big station would have a lot going on and not everybody magically needs to be involved in everything. I have not seen many shows do that.

Q_res posted:I think, in retrospect, the point where Lennier starts actually going downhill is that bar scene with Marcus. It's not romantic love as you'd understand it, it's a nobler, purer love. But I understand that she is fated for another. That's when he really started turning into a printer carrying "nice" guy. Yeah that's mid s3 if I recall. It started small until he went full incel. To paraphrase Londo, big incel grew energy from small incel attitude.

I"ve been living under a rock for the past few months and I've missed the blind read thread, it's so good. Also I'm partly glad I'm not a first time watcher because for some stupid reason the SA mobile app ignores spoiler tags entirely.

Can everyone please SHUT THE gently caress UP in the Blind Thread? I'm already getting sick of people dropping in "clever" allusions and contextless quotes and "I'm not confirming your guess but" posts. Pick has already basically spoiled that the disappearance of B4 will become relevant.

Spoiler blocks work fine for me.

Sorry, that's fair. I think knowing it's a show that fires every single one of its chekovs guns is ok though, it's not like anyone is saying when in the 100+ eps it happens.

Spoilers are bad, even more for B5, where everything referenced or said during earlier episodes has an impact later and is not forgotten. The religions scene had such an impact on me that I honestly couldn't stop watching and ended up binging. Otoh it led to me watching while working and doing home stuff so I actually don't remember s2 that well. Also introduction of sheridan might have led to partial amnesia

Except it doesn't fire all Chekov's guns, especially the ones involving Talia. Which is kind of ironic, considering that Ironheart's gift was given in the first episode with Walter Koenig.

Something that was brought up in the blind watch thread. I think the economic use of characters is certainly one of B5's strengths, especially when you compare it to contemporaries. How much better would Deanna Troy have been if she had only appeared when her services were needed, instead of sitting on the bridge all day without doing anything but saying "I have a bad feeling" when poo poo is obviously going to get serious? What about Wesley Crusher needlessly piloting the Enterprise? Instead, Franklin shows up when there's a medical issue, or when the command staff is meeting, either in official capacity, or as a group of friends. And when the plotline is connected to his personal interests. I like that a lot.

In that thread where people were talking about the Amiga toasters I thought I'd idly throw in 'watch Tim's Vermeer' to see what the tech guy behind it did with his bucks, before realising that that's definitely too close to random spoiler discussion.

Yeah the problem is you start with innocuous stuff like that and then in about six hours you end up with poo poo like what got posted in reply to the Babylon 4 speculation earlier because nerds are physically unable to play smirking “I KNOW MORE THAN YOU” dickwaving games about media properties.

Pick has already basically spoiled that the disappearance of B4 will become relevant. It sounds like one of the readers got spoiled on that (again) by listening to the podcast. S1 spoils itself sometimes. It isn't always about what happens, but why and in what context. That said, I heartily endorse people getting the urge to post out of their systems here and not there. There's more shows now with narrative arcs than when B5 first aired, but finding one which sticks the landing is still very difficult.

Yeah. Don't ruin it. Just start rewatching the series yet again, like me. I haven't seen The Gathering in like 15 years or so, because none of my season boxes or movie boxes have it. First impressions: The beginning is really exposition heavy and feels more like independent station, than an actual Earth outpost.

Can we at least talk about things they should've keep in from The Gathering? - Those long side handle space laser rifles were amazing and I always hated how their later "rifle" power weapons were just stock rifle designs with bits of wire and metal in weird places. At least the PPGs had a nice form factor to them. - Vorlons shaking hands with people, using hands to pick up stuff. - The odd extra minbari face bones - Wasn't there just a vacuum cleaner or something with some decals on it as set dressing?
