FYB5 Thoughts on: Midnight on the Firing Line
It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, ten years after the Earth/Minbari war. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It’s a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five...

Oops. More B5 gifs. That I forgot to post.
petite-sheridan:
I haven’t posted these yet. I’m sure I’ve used some of them but I haven’t OFFICIALLY posted them. I don’t know why.
And CLEARLY this was made before the photoset option was available geez. I’m not about to change it either.
And that’s A LOT of John Sheridan. Heh. ¬_¬
I can’t help it, he’s mah FAVORITE. But so is Susan. And Garibaldi. Dammit. I need to...

Babylon 5 fanworks: Narn & Centauri fic recs - the... →
amatara:
Links to B5 stories by a few lesser-known authors, that no one who has some love for the Narn and Centauri should nevertheless miss:
Safety in Numbers, by Kakodaimon: still one of my favorite Londo/G’Kar fics ever. Awkward, painful and sharp.
The Third Way, also by…

amatara:
Anyone familiar with this thing called Cubeecraft? For those who aren’t, a Cubee is a tiny paper figure that you can assemble using nothing but a home printer and a pair of scissors - not even glue required! There’s a bunch of Cubee templates on the web based on popular fandom…

JMS Speaks "Sic Transit Vir"
CNET User: "Did Sheridan and Ivanova really think that Vir was killing off thousands of Narn while he was on Minbar. Hey, this is Vir, not Josef Mengele we are talking about. Did they really think it was necessary to drag this all out in front of Londo instead of privately."
JMS: No, they didn't think he was doing it personally, only that he was expediting the transfer of Narns offworld for this purpose. You think someone like Vir could not do this. But most of the Nazis who send Jews to die weren't Josef Mengele, carving into bodies...they processed numbers from behind wire-framed glasses, and were quiet, sometimes even cheerful individuals with wonderful wives and children. The greatest evil can often wear a benign, smiling, affable face. And remember, people can change on this show. You look at Londo in season one, is this someone you could buy taking part in the bombing of the Narn homeworld and the death of millions of Narns? Yet that's what happened. And their belief was that it was probably Londo who was behind it all...it's Londo to whom Ivanova expressed her outrage, not Vir, who she figured was probably being pushed into it at his behest, so logically she *would* take this right to Londo. She figured, as you did, that Vir certainly wouldn't think of this on his own, but Londo could (and says so in the episode).

Starting Babylon 5 this weekend. I'm way excited.
#since when am i into sci-fi? #just what i need; another addiction
You have NO idea.
Happy Thanksgiving.
As many of you will know, I’m not of the American persuasion, so I don’t celebrate thanksgiving.
But it seems remissed of me to ignore a holiday from the country that this show comes from.
So Fuck Yeah Babylon 5 would like to wish all our American followers a very Happy Thanksgiving.

couchemal-deactivated20120216 asked: I love your commentary! I'm really looking forward to the next. <3
dreamerhideaway asked: Hello! I was wondering if you could help me. I'm really interested in watching B5 and I figured this was the place to come for aid. I did my research and found out there are 5 seasons, 6 movies and a spin-off? Not to mention another movie (?) before s1? I'm not sure, that's what I wanted to ask you. Could you help me with the chronology of the show? I mean, in which order should I...

Fuck Yeah Babylon 5: Thoughts on The Gathering
Admin Note: These will be written with the assumption that you’ve already seen the show in question as these aren’t reviews, they’re my thoughts on the episode, for the series proper I will be posting a link to the Streaming Master Post if you want to watch along. Either way these will be spoiler heavy.
Okay, so the version I’m commenting on here is the Special Edition version.
This was the...

Babylon 5 Head Canon: The Girl Who Ran Away →
b5headcanon:
Based on Babylon 5 episode 5.8 The Day of the Dead:
Who is Zoe? In particular, who is Zoe to Lochley? Obviously she is important, Lochley keeps “Zoe is dead” as her password something like 20 years after she died.
First off, I’m a huge Neil Gaiman fan, I’ve read all of Sandman, all of his…
This is brilliant, and actually fits perfectly with who Lochley is.

Sheridan: Oh yeah? You said that about me, too.
Kosh: Yes.
Sheridan: I really hate it when you do that.
Kosh: Good.

JMS needs a Showreel →
J. Michael Straczynski
Okay, everyone, here’s a challenge for all the nascent film guys and editors out there. I need (well, have always weanted) a really good sizzle reel that I can show at conventions and, in some cases, give to execs at studios as kind of a calling card and put up on imdb.com. I was going to call a couple of editors I know to pull this together, then I...
