The morals of Babylon 5 are pretty simple and SHOULD be obvious but they're shit that everyone is constantly forgetting on a daily basis.>theres always innocent people on all sides>two wrongs dont make a right>eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, sometimes you have to let past aggressions go for a more peaceful futureThis retarded two wrongs make a right mentality in particular is getting more and more common lately and it depresses the hell out of me. Every time you call some group out for doing horrible shit they immediately go "well some other group is doing it too!"If we act like this then every time one person or group does a bad thing it just instantly makes the entire world less moral, it lowers the bar for everyone.
>>217405300y'know maybe he was onto something
>>217405300>>217405338You're millenial simps being cucked by pozzed 90s television.Morals are for boomers and their cattle who live in free prosperity granted by the blood of millions. The true nature of man is as a heroic warrior hunter savage who takes an axe and kills all enemies before they kill him. Every word, every thought, every cynical belief is a finely honed and hefty weapon in his mighty calloused hands. With such muscular strong arms and powerful mental will cock energy, he secures a future for himself by ensuring that even though the wages of war take from him comfort and peace, he ultimately stands atop the mountain of skulls of his fallen buckbroken enemies. To victory.
>>217405494I've never heard someone who actually lives a simple and primitive life say shit like this. Your computer, your internet, your housing, your stable food supply and running water, its all made possible due to large scale cooperation. Large scale cooperation and civilization is the norm across 99% of the planet because its better. You go live in the woods with no internet or modern amenities surviving solely on what you hunt and gather and I guarantee you'll want to off yourself within two weeks
>>217404763In what way? This show sucked.
>>217405699You are the one who does the sucking

My stinky balls have been coddled with avocado and electric pleasure sticks so if war popped off I'd be king of the universe. Insecurity is a sin.
>>217405681>Your computer, your internet, your housing, your stable food supply and running water, its all made possible due to large scale cooperation.Well, there are Christians who also believe this is all Satanic idolatry too.

>>217405860Ah yes, christianity, the religion thats famously against morality and large scale cooperation, and loves violence and killing

>>217404763Fuck I really want to get into Deep Space nine and Babylon 5 but I'm stuck watching Star Trek The Next Generation still and I'm only halfway through season 2. It's an enormous slog to get through.

>>217407467No-one is forcing you to watch things that you don't want to watch, anon. You can also watch more than one show at a time if you wish, nothing has to be a marathon if you don't want to- as long as you have the mental capacity, anyway.

>>217407346I did not say that retard. I am Catholic myself. But you definitely have fundie types who think Pokemon is the tool of the debil and Satan is speaking to you through your monitor, and you should never pursue any hobbies because it's how the devil leads you astray.
>>217404763If not the best then definitely in top 2>No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by the force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
>>217407467If it helps the quality is about to skyrocket. Almost all of the good long running scifi series have rough starts, ds9 and b5 do as well
>>217407532I love the aesthetics and the philosophical aspects incorporated into these science fiction shows. I also find the late 80's and 90's television CGI to be incredibly charming and comfy. These shows can be very atmospheric and have an ambience to them. I really like it and it's best for watching late at night. I like start trek TNG don't get me wrong. It's just that the first two season have a lot of bad episodes.I heard season 3 is where it picks up.
>>217406539Purple!
>>217404763>mfw all the shit from season 1 actually clicks together later onIt's staggering what a difference planning can actually make for foreshadowing and development.
>>217407608The biggest difference is not everything had to be an action show wearing a different skin to get the budget. A huge part of Star Trek is just technobabble, be it mechanical or medical.
>>217407467Watch the series from bearded Riker.
>>217407624Its honestly more amazing that ALL of these enormous multimillion dollar decade long tv shows aren't master planned from the start. But b5 took it to a new level, they had a billion contingency plans for any kinds of unexpected changes to the cast or timeframe, that's why when actors had to leave it usually felt super natural.
>>217407624>>217407683It's mainly due to Straczynski's autism. You can see how B5 goes astray in the last season when he didn't have the time to develop it thoroughly.
>>217407608The phrase "growing the beard" to mean getting good was invented by TNG because Riker grows a beard in season 2 and then they have episodes like Measure Of A Man. Season 1 & 2 are consistently underrated; they were trying to emulate TOS and they finally grew out of it in season 3. They aren't that bad really.
>>217407661I appreciate that a lot about TNG. It's a breath of fresh air compared to the slop hollywood is putting out these days. I like that the characters will just sit and have a discussion about things, while nu-trek is just SCREAMING and EXPLOSIONS. Mr. Plinkett was right about JJ Abrams making Star Trek 2009 and 2013 a better star wars movie than actual star wars.
>>217407761Such a shame that the show got cancelled and then uncancelled. They wrapped up all the major plotlines for the end of season 4 and then had to pull a load of new plot out of their asses for season 5. It's good they were able to move the original finale to the end of S5 though, at least there was that.
>>217407014i thought it was funny
>>217407014How funny was it actually?
>>217407575breaking the chains scene was a bit on the nose, but g'kar was the MAN
>>217407820I think if it had more time and money Babylon 5 genuinely would have been the greatest show ever made. It already ranks pretty high even with tons of glaring flaws

>>217408019Have you ever realised that they never, not once, shot on location? It was the main reason the show was set on a space station. They only ever shot on sets, mostly the standing B5 station sets. They saves soooo much money making B5 compared to what Paramount was pissing away with TNG/DS9 at the same time. That and all the CGI was made by a bank of 24 Amiga PCs in standard 4:3 resolution
>>217407467If you're going to skip to DS9 watch these TNG episodes first:The WoundedEnsign RoChain of CommandAlso probably Best of Both Worlds since it's relevant to Sisko's backstory and the first episode
>>217408099Ok but Babylon 5 was shot in abandoned factories that quite possibly killed half the cast via contamination
>>217407575Why was he so racist against humans tho?
>>217408129What a load of bullshit lol It was a hot tub factory, what contamination lmao
>>217408099>That and all the CGI was made by a bank of 24 Amiga PCs in standard 4:3 resolutionand lambasted even back then
