So this Babylon 5 show gets pretty good. I just finished season 3.
I like the long playing arcs and the layered stories, but sometimes the show seems a bit too episodic. Kind of like some filler story lines and moments. Overall though i'm enjoying it.
I like how people change over the series. I started out likeing Londo and thinking GKar was a jerk and now I want to like Londo i think he has good aspects but Gkar just seems like the more likeable person

I may be talking to myself here but that is okay.
I finished all 5 season of Babylon 5
What a good show. Londo is probabaly one of my top five fav sci fi characters of all time. I enjoyed how it had a story to tell and it told the story. It had a start and a finish. I did not think season 5 was near as bad as some had warned me it would be. I did think it kind of peaked a little early. The first six episodes of season 4 really seemed like a climax to me.
I think i'm going to stop watching tv and read some now. PRobably going to read Ready Player One

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I have to agree that Londo is such a layered and complex character. He was flawed, made some (big) mistakes, and ultimately did all he could to redeem himself. Despite that he knew that the sins of his past could never be fully erased, and he paid for that.
Glad you enjoyed Babylon 5..One of my favorites for sure! It was very successful at serial storytelling when it wasn't the norm at all on TV. And one of the best series finales I have ever seen!

The Babylon 5 prequel movie, In The Beginning, is worth checking out also. It aired between seasons 4 and 5.
The creator of the show wrote 92 out of the shows 110 episodes, including all episodes in the 3rd and 4th seasons, and all but one episode in the 5th season.. that's dedication! He's the man who turned off the station's lights in the series finale.

Is Dr. Who considered Sci Fi? I do love it. :oops: Both the old and new versions.
I am not proud to admit that I saw all 6 Star Wars films for the very first time last year. I love them! And I understand soooooo many jokes now after having seen them.

Yes, Dr. Who is definitely considered sci fi! I've seen a few of the old episodes, but I really enjoy the new version. Can't wait for it to come back this fall!

The old episodes are the best. "EXTERMINATE!!!" used to be one of my notification ringtones on my phone.

Yes as mentioned above JMS does rock. I've read some of his comic work.
I also liket that two of the guest writers were Peter David (think he did two early shows) and Neil Gaiman (did Day of the Dead in season 5) two guys i have a lot of respect for.
I may go back and watch the movies at some point. Just going to take a break now.

Halfway through Firefly...totally awesome show!! How did this get canceled??!!
Because people like you and I didn't watch it during its original run. Don't worry though, if I ever get this time-travel thing sorted out, I'll do my best to remedy that.

I dvred this and watched it last night
Very cool stuff!
Great to see most of the cast involved and the writers. I think the shepard was the only one they did not interview or have involved in the round table.
I so wish this show could have gone longer. Its nice to see how well the cast gets along after all these years.

My Dr. Who loving daughter made Dalek cupcakes for her high school english class last weekend, along with Fish Fingers & Custard.
Excellent show, really gotten into it over the last year.

Definitely check out Dollhouse if you get a chance...it was canceled way too soon for sure.
A friend of mine told me the last 2 Battlestar eps are awful, but I'm keeping an open mind. Got it set to watch tomorrow night
Did he write the theme song? That man is brilliant!!
Agreed, love Firefly!! Joss Whedon can do no wrong in my book...
been really getting into Dr. Who as well....fellow fans, you may enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJSQFzw1pEE
