Babylon 5

Sooo looking forward to the rewatch/[livejournal.com profile] desert_sdwndr's first watch.  Listening to Babylon 5 themes now.  It's a shame that Season 5 has the best theme (with season 4 following very closely) when the season was largely not as good as the other four (the Day of the Dead episode was worth all of it, I think).

We'll be able to get together every weekend, as opposed to once a month or so, which will be fabulous.  It'll almost be like living together.  Yes, we have ridiculously low standards at this point.  Plus, the Mini Vixen should be able to enjoy a little as well.

Season Five could've been great if JMS had said, "Bruce, your part of the story is finished. Now you're a supporting character for Londo's and Lyta's stories. So expect to skip a third of the eps, have speaking parts in a third, and cameos in the rest." Instead he had to make plots focus on President Sheridan which took some juggling.

I suspect the Hollywood contract system may have been a big factor in this.

I'd agree with this... also, Garibaldi getting back in the bottle was painful to watch. I wasn't so into the telepath storyline.
