The worst thing about that clip is that it gives no indication that the writers have any familiarity with Babylon 5 at all. I mean, you could easily apply those criticisms (rightly or wrongly) to any number of 90's series, like DS9, Stargate, X-Files or whatever. The criticisms don't pertain to the specific strengths…

*narrows eyes* yes, a B5 MMO, I can see this being wildly successful!

ugh! jesus, what a vapid article.

As I've commented elsewhere, I don't see Justin as having spent time in a Shadow vessel. I see him as the True Believer, moreso than Morden. I see Morden as a straight up psychopath, willing to latch onto anything that will give him power and influence. I see Justin on the other hand as someone who has had a…

"ShadowPoint"? I assume this was simply a re-branded version of Microsoft PowerPoint, a product which is already pure evil?

Not to mention having a giant, easily smashable skylight over your most important underground city. Why even build your city underground then!?

It's… watchable. It's certainly better than 4. I wouldn't necessarily call it good.

Yes, Arnie says something like "I now know why you cry, but it's something I can never do." Err, so terminators can't produce tears now? So all the resistance needs to do in the future to weed out suspected terminators is stick a bowl of chopped onions in their faces?

Yes but still T3 > T4.

I've always thought that Gus's (visible) injuries from the bomb looked survivable. I mean, his skull looked intact, therefore his brain might be okay. Though I suppose the blast from the bomb might have shattered all his internal organs. But his head injuries in and of themselves didn't look necessarily fatal.

Yes but the scary guy doesn't look scary just to Jesse. He looks scary and thuggish to the audience as well.

I was speaking of myself as someone with no experience with guns.

This episode has certainly lowered my expectations for the rest. Too many contrivances. The 2 most galling things for me are the Gomez situation and the scary looking guy who spooked Jesse at the end.
