I gotta admit, I saw the post title and I came here prepared to do battle.

But this is exactly how he should apologize to Romney and other tea scum.

Yes, I know.... but it is the truth.


Nothing else ever had a 5 year story line. This series was one of a kind. (also the first to use all computer generated special effects).

was a little confused with the jump forward in time.

what I liked about Babylon 5 was that it showed "real" sci-fi. For example - people didn't just get off on every planet breathing the air (I'm looking at you Star trek!)

If you missed season 4 I can see why you were confused.

The entire 5 years all played into one long story line. Every episode had something to contribute.

No other series like it, ever.

He went from being someone full of anger and out for revenge to a holy man at peace with the universe. A complete and total transformation. He also started as someone in power who rejected both power and fame and ended up just leaving (with Lyta).


Londo went from someone who did nothing but seek power to someone who was in a living hell after gaining all the power he could possibly want.


Vir was the opposite. He never wanted power but ended up replacing Londo as Emperor and found happiness.



All the major charactors went through major transformations throughout the series. That was part of the beauty of it. Even the Vorlons and the Shadows developed throughout the series.


God I loved that show

and so was Bill Mumy. The wife of the captain was on Lost. Took my a while to figure out who she was without the alien make up.

Yep, It was a good show. Kinda dark though.

I remember when the local TV station that had it on changed the time to something like one or two thirty in the morning right towards the end of season 4, I stayed up really late to watch the shows.

from Cuckoo's Nest to Deadwood his career has been exemplary.

This is the first i've seen him in this series, as i'm not a big fan of the show... but that might have changed now.

Thanks for posting.
