Apologies if I'm missing the point but do you mean someone who's 35 now?

It's ok to not like stuff. I never got this internet thing of "tell me why I don't/should like this thing."

Well I was going to pretty much write that exact same post, with all those opinions. Even about going to see them on Saturday. So tx for saving me the trouble, I guess.

Yuppie pop culture brag:

I pretty much agree with Durandal_1707.

Monk's Dream is kind of a wreck of an album.  In fact, I really disagree with this article because I would actually put his early Blue Note recordings as the place to start because it's the first, original- and therefore shorter and more accessible versions of all of his classic compositions, with legendary musicians

Yeah I guess that's what I was getting at, and it's certainly something that happens with arrogant superpowers.

Well no because a grand alliance like that is unity and order and teamwork, contrary to the Shadows' desires.  They want individual species- and individuals- to grow stronger.

For some reason, every time I re-watch the series I forget about the countdown and when it hits the screen the first time it catches me off guard.

Hahah my sister, who I hooked into the show, and I stil reference that all the time because she was SO irritated by that whole dialogue sequence and Lorien's supreme punchability.

Space Caligula is what hooked me into B5 originally and the possibility that we're not going to get into it in deep here sucks ass.

I know it's just internet commenting about a long-dead TV show and it doesn't matter but if you ever wondered why B5 fans are prickly and defensive within the sci-fi community, here's a perfect example.  OF COURSE the B5 discussions might end right in the middle.  No threat of that happening with DS9 reviews!

I have mixed feelings about the Shadows' plan to convert Sheridan.  I mean- did they really think they could just argue him into conversion?  I suppose we have to accept that they did and they really thought their philosophy is self-evidently brilliant and they could not see why torturesploding their way towards

"If you try to use the power of the state to remove the possibility of failure…"

No you're not, Yuri.  I've found that viewer reaction is split right down the middle.

Are we sure that is supposed to be blood?  Because that actually never occurred to me before, perhaps due to the reason you state.

Yeah I guess I don't see why that would need to change?
I was assuming that desire for hypothetical B5 reboot was to update the look and feel and eliminate the weak parts.  The Londo/Refa conflict is perfect as-is, dramatically.  Just eliminate the stupid accents and hairstyle.

Well to be fair to BSG, they couldn't have that wide a variety of ships because they didn't have that wide a variety of peoples.  The whole point of that B5 battle was various people from across the galaxy working together.  BSG was only humans vs cylons.

Yes I've often had the same suspicions about Justin.  An idea that never really came together.
