If you're going to fuck around with the stuff do it in a very well ventilated space.

I have tried to watch it like 5 times, it is cringe worthy.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I get how people could not like Babylon 5. The production values are kind of lacking, and some of the characters/dialogue are just awful, especially smaller roles.

But it really was a revolutionary show, and looked at as a whole IMO it was a work of genius.

The cast was a bunch of sopa opera actors so a lot of that came out (Dr. Franklin!), but G'Kar, Vir, Londo... Top of the food chain!

In a lot of ways it was great. However, I was always left with the feeling that they couldn't afford to pay for a lot of things so they just talked about them. For example there was meant to be a galaxy size war that engulfed everyone, however, they didn't really show very much of it. Just the odd report here and there and not much else. I kept feeling that the was about to be a lot of battles shown, but, they never were. Even the final battle turned into a talking match, basically just Sheridan saying bugger off to the Vorlon and Shadows, and they do. Bit of a let down in some respects.

Some of the stuff was done really well, G'Kar / Londo for example.

I'd kinda like to go back in time and toss JMS about a half-million dollars per show for it.
