>>537679437
He asked morden for help multiple times. He knew. He just grew to realise that he had made a mistake when he figured out the shadow's agenda and that every action he was taking was further dooming his people instead of restoring them to glory, but far far too late to stop it. A little bit of guilt in there too, from his interactions with G'Kar.

He would wonder why the USA held back and didn't just destroy Tehran entirely to subdue the remaining Iranians.
Otherwise, as an imperialist from a militant yet decadent culture, he would wonder why America isn't using its military advantage more aggressively and taking control of Greenland, Canada, and Mexico.

Here' something real: You might have wondered why Sinclair from the early season(s) was removed from the show and Sheridan was brought in. JMS confirmed relatively recently that the actor who played Sinclair came to him and in confidence told him he was slipping into some kind of psychosis severe enough to require serious treatment and asked JMS to not tell anyone.

Dr. Franklin is the only one that's really weird, dying somewhat young from a freak heart issue. G'kar smoked like a chimney, so of course he got lung cancer. Londo is still alive. Delenn died of West Nile Virus, but she was getting on in years. Zack and Garibaldi both were lifelong substance abuse addicts and it caught up with them. Vir had diabetes, which killed him. Ivanova is still alive despite being a lifelong alcoholic and drug user. Both of the telepath women are still alive, as is Bester.

The first season had it's charm, but you could clearly tell they were throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick. DS9 had the same issue. American audiences had grown our of all the one offs episodes of previous Sci Fi shows and wanted an overarching narrative that made you want to tune in to see what happened next. Shows became commitments and people got more emotionally invested in these shows.

Londo would probably be dismissive of Western democracies as a whole.

Thank you for letting me know you're retarded.

I think I heard there was an HD version on hbo max but there is a problem with the CGI, the CGI was all rendered in low res at CRT aspect ratios and they at some point lost all the original CGI assets so it can’t be re-rendered without recreating everything from scratch.
the computing time to do that on modern hardware would be trivial but nobody wants to do the human part of the work because it’s a dead IP and there is no money in it now.
you could probably do an AI upscale but trying to convert it to widescreen would require either cropping out the action or having the AI draw random shit on the sides of every scene, you would end up with like TIE fighters and robot Michael Jackson from Moonwalker showing up

Lower production value than something like DS9 for sure, but it IS supposed to be a grungier station. It's carried by a couple of good character interactions. Londo / G'Kar are like the Garak / Quark of B5. And Bester is a great recurring antagonist.

I could in fact work it out with Lightwave3D to very close to original models and rendering. Would not be very hard, actually. Back in the 90's it must have been a massive headache for VFX crew to keep it within deadlines with the render times, since it's constant tweaking and re-rendering. They had be sure about things, no re-renders. Machine crashes back then was another massive headache.

I actually liked season 5 but I'd say it's second worst and slightly better than the first season. I think it had a good reveal with the Drakh which opened up a good made for TV movie and the spin off series Crusade. Crusade had a lot of potential but the network (TNT) was pushing the writer (Straczynski) to sex it up. Make one of the characters a nymphomaniac who fucks everyone. Straczynski ended up ragequitting the project.

Apparently Garibaldi's actor, Jerry Doyle, got politically active later in life. He had a radio show before he died in 2016

>>537697056
>, don’t watch season 5 except for the last episode

Last 3 actually, those arent cringe teep war shit and actually show where the main cast was going after their time on B5 and the last ep is a tear jerker for sure.
>>
>>537697306
I’m sure you could do it, but would you do it for every CG Shot in every episode, and all for free? The main hurdle is that the companies who own the rights to the show don’t want to pay for it because they don’t think they will get much of a return on their investment.

The Centauri war against the Interstellar alliance arc was pretty good I think. Pretty scary when Londo got that Keeper attached to him. I guess the Keeper is to the Drakh what the AIPAC handler is to US politicians lol

DS9 ripped em off and made Cardassians. Which would have been all fine and dandy if they skipped the whole space Jesus business.

Season 1 is always the best season because Sinclair is five leagues better than Sheridan in every way possible.

oh shit I don’t realize Ted Turner just died last month
I never could tell if that guy was based or a fag
he was like half and half

Could probably do it. I don't know. I would have to install windows. I have licenses for Lightwave since version 7. That renderer could easily put out almost 1:1 what it was back in 90's. Could be an interesting pet project. Would take awhile, tho.
I could figure out the render settings, object modelling, UV's and texturing (very simple textures, definitely not PBR, most of the time something like Perlin noise + color hue values, specular values etc) and then other different parameters and so on, that would easy to follow. Then a larger group could go from there.

Tho, I believe AI could do all this, too, in a matter of days.

Sinclair being played by an actual schizophrenic gave a lot more authenticity to the character, especially considering what happens to him later in the story.
>>
>>537699000
I enjoyed season 1 but thought it had some growing pains and was slow to get things rolling. It had some good moments like when they drugged Sinclair and the season finale.

never could get into this show. The Expanse is the best scifi show btw

season 1 being an episodic show like Star Trek makes sense if you consider they have to build up a steady weekly tv viewer base before starting a plot arc. If they started an arc right away in the days before streaming, people who never watched the show before and tuned in for one episode would be “wtf is going on” and just change the channel.
Once you’re watching the show, you can program your vcr to record every week, but that doesn’t work so well for the first season of an unknown show.
>>
>>537699075
Sinclair's final speech in season 3 or whatever was pretty good for that double meaning. I never got through s5 though maybe one day. S4 was pretty good and the [spoiler]Garibaldi reveal[/spoiler] was pretty great but they then resolved the issue almost immediately in the next episode which felt pretty cheap.

He's gonna miss on Londo's arc that way. season 5 is rushed, but it still has alot of great episodes.

Fuck are normies getting into B5? Fuck this gay earth, those faggots don't fucking deserve it

I'm trying to think about what character they'd onions themselves the most over. Probably delynn, because trannies identify with that chick or something. Maybe the Ivonava. But the male characters are all too masc for their onions sensibilities, even lennar, though id guess that's the most compatible

He at least had the self reflection to feel shame and guilt for his cowardice and his greed and his stupidity. He destroyed his people but was finally repentant. That regret is seemingly the only difference between the two.

The thing I like most about the first ones and Lorien's race in particular and in fact, Lorien himself (The first ever sentient created being in the universe) was how he explained immortality. That originally the universe created him and a few others, making them immortal but somewhere early on, it decided that that wasn't ideal, life had to experience an ending or death to have meaning, so everything after was born, lived and died but the handful of original creations of his race, lived on. Thats a "so fucked up it's probably true" moment.

Babylon 5 is a timeless SCI-FI show for me, sure it had it's issues but compared to the godless slop that you see today it's a timeless space opera compared to the subverted SHIT of today.
Londo is my favorite character, his arch is quite something, going from being the small-time ambassador who's stuck to rot on BABYLON 5 as a glorified diplomat although in reaity he's just there cause his opposition back home wants to prevent him to rise up the hierchy of the Centauri Nobility, only to be approached by dark forces tempting him with absolute power, the power to destroy entire worlds regardless of their defenses and by the time he realizes he has traded his soul and is now stuck with these dark forces, it's far too late to stop the madness of his own making, in very simple terms his arch is basically pic related.
