So, carrying right along, with the wine women, and song. I have no clear excuse why this took so long, just...stuff, but finally let’s do it.

( 1x03 Born to the Purple )

So I’m expecting to have less to say on this one, but you never know.

( 1x02: Soul Hunter )

So after all the delays from real life and other TV shows dragging me in, and partially for the fact that I may not see Avengers until next weekend let’s see how this review stacks up compared to my one for The Gathering.

( 1x01: Midnight on the Firing Line )

Okay, everyone got all that as far as build-up goes? Now, finally onward with actually watching Babylon 5. (I actually do still have a couple other background topics I kind of feel I should cover, but it’s really time I got going, I’ll get to them when I get to them if I feel it’s important then.)

( Xx00: The Gathering )

Continuing my thoughts before starting my rewatch, this time about the DVD order vs. the revised order.

( Short version, there's really only one change I definitely make, long version under cut )

Or I could blame AoS, since it doesn't feel like we're heading into the machine apocalypse at all (but it also doesn't feel like it's killing time until the ( Read more... )

So here’s the thing, my B5 rewatch has continued but as expected a reached a point where I no longer felt like doing reviews and just wanted to watch the show. And I think being back in that world has sapped a lot of my energy for the TVD/TO verse. I should have thoughts and feelings about this episode but my reaction is kind of an uninvested meh ( Read more... )

So clockwork_sky and I are starting a new project. I convinced her to watch Babylon 5 for the first time and we're gong to chronicle our journey together through the show over at b5rewatch. Yes I repurposed my own lj community from a couple years ago.

You can find a few more details here and we should have some thoughts up about 'The Gathering' soon...ish ( Read more... )
