Not sure if I want to watch season 5 and the movies plus Crusade after "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars".  :mellow:

Wactch "In the Beginning" at the least, of the movies.

While interesting, you should almost treat that episode as not having occurred.  The reason series finale is worth it. :wub:

I'd like to see the Sci Fi channel play the Babylon series. They do need to spice up their showings, lose the wrestling and ghost hunter stuff, and put on more of the good sci fi. B5, Farscape and a few others would be good.

German SciFi is currently showing B5 during weekdays (two episodes at primetime). I tune in occasionally for a few moments to remind myself of how horrid the German dubbing is.

Can't understand why they (SciFi) don't show more shows bi-lingually (i.e. you can choose between English and German). They did that for Farscape for some reason, but no other show.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

:yes: DoFS was a quickie ep made when they got the fifth season and couldn't show the already-filmed Sleeping in Light (the finale) at the end of Season 4.  As you saw, they also "cheated" and got some of the S5 filming done early using the special budget they got for DoFS.

Don't cheat yourself out of seeing what happens to everybody.

They're SyFy now.  There's gonna be even more ghost hunter type programing in the future.

The channel wanted everyone to know that it has jumped the shark, I think.

Second half of Season 5 is worth it.  First half is meh.

B5 needed a Bester spin-off.

That's my recollection of it as well.  IMO, the first half of season 5 is even worse than season 1, simply because season 1 at least sets you up for the later drama.

The very next episode of Crusade that was to be filmed was a Bester episode.  The story was pretty cool, too.  Gideon was going to have to protect Bester from Garibaldi in order to get some vital info only Bester had, and LT Matheson was going to have to go along with it, even though he hated Bester.

Fucking TNT! :ultra:
