Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

The babylon project was our last, best hope for peace

    bale sell me on this show if you can

    I need a new show to watch

    Mr. Garibaldi is essentially Charles Bronson in space. And he's not even the raddest character on the show.

    those two sentences do not make sense to me together

    Dude takes out what is essentially The Predator by stuffing old earth bullets into a pipe, then igniting them with a broken steam pipe he holds onto.

    Bryan Cranston was in a few episodes of this show - they did a decent job at picking great character actors for bit roles.

    I feel as though this is the best thing

    roddy piper is pretty much guaranteed to be radical in any acting thing he does.

    The first season gets measurably better every episode (although, in fairness, its pretty much starting from 0 on a 100 point scale with the pilot). Not that Sinclair gets any better as an actor, but everyone else gets better. I recommend watching season 1 while doing something else, and if you find you just can't stand any more of an episode, find some source to explain the episode and move on to the next. (Or you can play the season one drinking game: When you feel like you need a drink to keep watching, have two. It has the nice side effect of limiting how much of Sinclair's wooden acting you inflict on yourself at a shot)

    It really does get a lot better after the first season.

    the cruel irony of that of course is that two of the best/most important episodes of season 1 are all about Sinclair

    (And The Sky Full of Stars, Babylon Squared)

    The first season has some serious growth in terms of, well, everything. Not that Sinclair gets any better as an actor, but everyone else gets better. I recommend watching it while doing something else, and if you find you just can't stand any more of an episode, find some source to explain the episode and move on to the next.

    I'd recommend the lurker's guide to B5 for any episodes you want to skip (or to get more info on):

    http://www.midwinter.com/lurk

    The guy who put it together way back when collected every JMS Usenet post about every episode, which helps clear up some stuff.

    I think that's season 4. You can verify it by Garibaldi's hair.

    I remember seeing an episode of Law & Order a few years back that had the actor who plays Sinclair playing the bad guy of the episode - he still had the same painful delivery / acting.

    Huh, you're right - that's from "The Long Night". I thought it was from "The Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place".

    Looking at the episode listings, I forgot about the season 5 episode "The Corps Is Mother, The Corps is Father". That was a good episode as well.

    Ok, on episode 3 so far and I agree that it's definitely getting better compared to the awful pilot. So far it's not too bad. Most of the lines still fall pretty flat, but Ivanova's comment in episode 2 was good, "I'm Russian doctor. We understand these things."

    I now have a massive urge to watch b5.

    But I just came off the back of six episodes of Fringe, and should probably go to bed.



    Also, B5 for best names for episodes ever.
