Marcus snark is some of the best snark.

It's the kind of season that you really don't stop watching.  So yeah, we kinda watched half of a 22 episode season in one day.  It happens.  XD  Considering I've actually watched season three in one weekend before, that should tell you something.  It just gets good.  It also means I have a hell of a write up to do.  -_-;;;

part 1

New sets: yes, and we're creating situations in which we can see more of Earth, Mars, our other local planets, plus Narn, Centauri, Minbari and one other major world.

New sets! New sets! I'm excited for new sets!

"Was that Bester in the senator's office?
No, it wasn't Bester at the Senator's office.
Any reason why it wasn't?
Yes."

A very, very good reason. XD Nar hasn't gotten that far yet though.

I thought we agreed that it was Mr. Morden in the senator's office, Mem.

The White Star was always in the plans for the series

I remember when we were watching an earlier episode and the name came up at the loading dock or something, and I caught it before you did. XD SNEAKY JMS IS SNEAKY.

Just to acknowledge the fans in the only way I can.

Aw, I like it when writers give small nods to their fans in the series. :)

Wow, I had no idea he named Theo after Van Gogh's brother! That's actually super cool

part 2 -- apparently I talk/quote too much

I stopped watching after I realized it had to have a SHOCKING REVELATION PLOT TWIST, GASP! OMG! at the end of every episode. It's like, you've got to give people a chance to breathe, or at least a chance to get over the shock. Because after a while? You just stop being shocked.

Probably off-topic, but I think this is actually one of Moffat's weak points, too. The man lives and breathes cliffhangers; don't get me wrong, they can be very good and very exciting cliffhangers, but if we're inundated with cliffhangers, it starts to get old. It's like...okay, metaphor ahoy

Oh, look! Someone else needs two comments. XD

Moffat, I think, has more of a problem with solving things in a timely manner. That's what JMS does right in this case. There are many shocking revelations in B5, but when he introduces a question, he solves it a few episodes later. Only to be introduced with even more questions, granted, but you get some sense of completion over the mystery. Which Moffat kind of fails at.

He does a bit of the shocking surprise overkill too though. No where near as bad as Code Geass though.

I think Aloha has been added to my favorite random back stage trivia bits of the show. The teddy bear and Londo's way of getting in character are also part of it. XD

Joe's Theory of Violence is indeed awesome. More people need to adhere to it.

A thousand times yes. A thousand.
