G’Kar is the GOAT
I said what I said.
I’m on a first watch and just finished season 3. His character’s growth and change is unparalleled!! And the acting…heads and pouches above everyone else. Please no spoilers about where he ends up….

The Shadow Hybrid strikes.
Its first beam rips across the Excalibur. A second follows, tearing through the ship from another angle. The hull shudders. Explosions race across the superstructure.
There is no formation anymore. No battle plan.
Only survival.
Hell has broken loose.

Honestly, I would rather they did the what if the Centauri and Earth war that Valen showed to Sheridan. Instead what we got was all over the place. Imagine if they used money on a story many people wanted to see.
I always wanted to know if I would have the courage to stay at the garden at Gethsemane
I’m a little slow and didn’t catch the connection between Gethsemane and Kosh’s death the first time. I think the fear of being unable to stay is what kept Kosh hesitant. Goes to show that no episode stands on its own

"It takes a rare kind of wisdom to accept change and redemption in another. Many would refuse, seeing only what was, not what is. Mr. Garibaldi gave me that chance and I must repay him."
Was humanity really strong before the minbari war?
Even after surviving the near genocidal war, humanity can stand up to Narns and Centauri at least enough to be their diplomatic equals.
So how strong were we before the Minbari? Could we beat Centauri?
Green vs Purple: the Poll
I’m curious to see some definitive numbers from this sub, on this extraordinarily important question.
How did G'Kar afford rent and food?
After Narn fell, he's sanctioned on B5 but I don't suppose Earth paid for him as well. So how did he survive? Did he just do some odd jobs that weren't shown?
It can not be overstated how amazing most of the guest starts are.
I just love to hate Cartagia and the same with President Clark. Cartagia you get to spend a little time with him but Clark you see a few recordings and once of him on the vidcom with Sheriden. Even Kat was cool and I would love to go to any bar she works at.
There are so many and this post would turn into a novel if I went over the minor reacuring characters.

The Cross-Franchise Meeting You've Always Wanted
I'm not doing a direct reposting, since this comes from the Star Trek AI sub, and I know how AI slop is looked down upon, but considering how many times I've seen people wanting these 2 characters to meet up, I thought it was at least worth a link.

As you may know - Zachai is/was a Colony of the Cascor Commonwealth. Does anyone have an indication or guess which Real star should Zachai be?
Ivanova, coffee, and the lies.
For B5 to support such a chaotic populace as the Lurkers the system had to be much more resilient than we are originally led to believe.
We see many instances of waste, smoking in an enclosed area, and trash produced by itinerants.
Thus.
My proposal.
Like EarthGov telling the station personnel they have to move to smaller quarters, the reality is that Sinclair/Sheridan let Ivanova believe she was getting away with murder for having a simple square of ground dedicated to coffee for her own morale purposes.

Okay really though, silly example aside. The system had to be way more robust given the stresses it takes than we’re given to believe in S1.
The station had an entire sector go missing. Brown sector looks like a tent-city. There’s no way a micromanaged ecosystem survives what we’ve seen as long as it does.

Conclusion: coffee for all! Viva lé revolution!
It’s nice to know that centuries later Disney has not given up on their aspirations and now own an entire planet.
Someone once asked JMS if Disneyplanet was really a thing in-universe, to which he responded; “give them time, and it will happen”.

I watched Grey 17 is Missing. Why is this considered a bad episode?
I've heard several comments on this sub about this episode, even dare to consider it the worst episode of Babylon 5, which I find quite absurd having seen it.
I mean, it has a pretty good main storyline, with Delenn taking charge of the Rangers and the conflict that creates with Neroon, as well as a great moment with Delenn and Marcus (who with each passing moment becomes more and more my favorite character). It's true that Garibaldi's subplot is a bit meh (I would have preferred a giant CGI Zarg to that), and I'll venture to say that Robert Englund's character, which some highlight as the best part of the episode, gets a bit repetitive after a while, but it's not that bad; it's accidentally campy (in a good way), and entertaining. In fact, I find Walkabout a little more boring in direct comparison.
Anyway, with episodes like Grail or A Late Delivery from Avalon, I'm surprised that an episode that actually does advance the series' plot is being treated like that.
