With nothing on TV I've been watching Babylon 5 again. I forgot how good it was. Sad that so many stars from that show are gone now. Last night I watched Cartagia get it, and so did Mr. Morden.
watched the first episode last night. I think I like Londo already. His hairdo makes mine look good.
I loved B5. I like that the entire story line was laid out before filming started. It had a definite beginning, middle and end and was to last for five years, no more, no less. It was written as five books with 13 (I think) chapters in each.
But, after the series ended they tried to go to the well once too often and created a spin off which didn't last. ...thankfully.
Dang! How I want to watch it again myself.
I had a picture of Zathras outside my cubicle at work.Londo and G'Kar are a great pair, both when they hated each other and later too. You'll find Mr. Garabaldi and Lyta Alexander and Kosh to be pretty neat characters too. Later Mr. Morden and Psi Cop Mr. Bester will be fun. The first season is kinda lame compared to the rest, but by season 3 you'll HAVE to watch every episode.
Best questions:
Vorlon - WHO are you?
Shadows - WHAT do you want?
Oh, and then theirs Zathras.................
Londo developes into a tragic figure like Prince Hamlet. The character development on B5 is one of the greatest things you will ever see in a Science Fiction production.
Sadly Tim Choate died in a motorcycle accident.
Stephen Biggs died of a massive heart attack.
Stephen Furst died from complications of diabetes.
Andreas Katsulas Died from lung cancer.
Jerry Doyle died from alcohol use (long term)
Michael O'Hare took his own life.
Robin Sachs(Hedronn, Na'Tok etc) Died from heart failure. He was also Sarris in Galaxy Quest.
There are probably others further down the cast list.
