Hello,

are there still any old or new B5 fans around?

I'm thinking of doing a rewatch, maybe someone would like to join me?

Yeah, same here. It's too bad that the actress left, otherwise we might have gotten more of a story for them. They did have a backdoor to get the character back. Alas, they only worked out in a bit of fanfic!

Oh, and I love G'Kar and Londo, of course. Love, love, love them.

I went through this series in a WEEK! lol! I loved John and Delenn!!

Londo and G'Kar made me LOL so hard!! Especially when they were trapped in the lift together! hahaha! OMG! They were just hysterical! hahah!

Just watched episode 1, "Midnight On The Firing Line". It was a bit cheesier than I remembered (particularly with the dramatic music and sound effects), but Peter Jurassik (Londo) was really killing it!

Also loved the ending, when Delenn had to endure Garibaldi's old cartoon show and was bewildered.

Oh, and Talia looked just Divine...

[ChakotaysLover]

Garibaldi always made me laugh! LMAO!

Londo, sometimes I didn't know if I wanted to smack him or laugh at him! LOL!

Delenn is just too adorable for words!

Yeah, Londo is a complex character. He can be hilarious, but is also a very tragic figure, has chosen a dark path... and the actor does a beautiful job with his layered character.

ETA: I'm in season 2 now, just watched the episode when there was this new B5 merchandise shop on the station, so funny, and the digs at Star Trek - just marvelous!

I loved how Londo tried to redeem himself a few times and each time it came out worse. Those moments of humor, which for londo were practically almost all the time, were what I loved about him! LOL!

When I saw that episode, the space store, I kinda wanted that teddy bear they showed at the end! It was cute!!!

I am trekkie first and foremost. Love it to this day. DS9 was one of my faves in the Trek series. B5 to me is vastly different than DS9, but I love em both.

in my opinion Babylon 5 is one of the ten best science fiction series ever.
not only was it intelligent, well written, well acted, but the fact that you had a sophisticated main plot with equally sophisticated subplots intricately woven together, along with superb acting, act what was state of the art television
special effects and those delightful noir black and white flashback sequences.
Babylon 5 is the whole package.

I did another rewatch of Babylon 5 two years ago and read all of the books. Now I'm getting a craving for B5 again, so I may have to do another rewatch soon.

[ChakotaysLover]

This show definitely had everything a sci-fi junkie could want! Enjoy your re-watch!

[Meliana]

I started a re-watch of this some time ago too, I really loved this show!

[ChakotaysLover]

Whenever I watch it, I can;t get over John's first look at Delenn..... OMG!! His face just lights up!!

[Meliana]

I love those two so much!
