I teared up like a baby when I first watched this. Seeing what happened to the station. Then Delenn and John on Minbar. Beautiful and incredibly bittersweet. I hope they don't remake this incredible show.
Season 5 notes: 1. Lochley is awesome, and doesn't get anywhere near enough air time. It's always hard introducing a new character in the last season of anything, and she had a rough start, but I liked her. Glad she got more screentime in the movies. 2. Forget Byron. 3. It's a pity we never got to see Ivanova in her warship - They mentioned at the end of S4 she got one of the new Warlock Class? 4. Lyta got done dirty, but became a total badass. 5. We did get to see Londo & G'kar at the end; that future we saw in War Without End was not a possible future, but a definite one.
For those that like Lochley, you should continue with Crusade. While not a main character, she does make an appearance here and there. Much like Season 5, there are a handful of good episodes in Crusade that are good, and some that are less than stellar. Kudos to everyone that made it through the entire show. On an unrelated note, for anyone that has seen "The Penguin" series with Colin Farrell, the Penguin character reminds me of Peter Jurasik as Londo Molari. :) In a way, he even has a similar story arch in his rise to power.
So... I mean, it's understandable that you went this route, to cover the bases. But I definitely send friends a curated list of episodes (if they want it) for watching Babylon 5. Season Five and Season One both greatly benefit from it. But so does skipping all the movies except for In the Beginning and possibly Call to Arms. Delaying Sleeping in Light so long after Objects at Rest might be a bit of a curator's sin. And yeah, I cut about a season's worth of episodes from the total, mostly from seasons one and five, but a little bit from two as well. I don't need Soul Hunters, I need as little of Byron as 8 can get, and I really don't need GROPOS.
Now that you have watched everything: If I ever had enough money to re-edit one scene, I would re-edit Lady Ladira's Vision to have B5 blow-up the opposite direction. Thus, her vision would match the scene in the finale. Her vision would still adhere to the Centauri visions of death, just that context was missing, just as it was missing for Lord Kiro and Lando.
It's been a great pleasure joining you guys on this journey!
Wow! That's so awesome about the books!
