I think too much is made of G'Kar not participating in the murder.  Ordering people to kill someone is just as immoral and doing it yourself.  Regardless of G'Kar's newfound spiritualism, he's first and foremost a leader, and he would be expected to do the planning and let his underling do the grunt work.

Exactly.  This is brought home by the reaction at the end of the guy Londo explains (and lies) to.  He clearly could tell Londo is full of it but is deciding it's better to just go along with it.

Take that, RC Cola!

I actually don't understand this question of Rowan's (though I enjoyed the rest of the review).

A fair criticism but I think that scene is also a consequence of B5's ahead-of-its-time serialization.  When that episode aired, only the most hardcore audience would have even remembered the dream by that point so the only way to make it relevant again was with explicit references.

One of my favorite tricks in songwriting is when they set negative lyrics to positive sounds.  Like Warren Zevon and Randy Newman do a lot.  The end of Rock is like the TV equivalent.

Yes Neroon has a point but from our perspective, because we believe that individuals should be free to practice their own religious beliefs and it shouldn't be dictated by any central authority.

Look at Garibaldi going around ordering people to unquestioningly kowtow to Sheridan's commands.

Um… no, Byron & co's central point was totally valid and correct- they were created, used, and sacrificed in a fight that wasn't their fault and then tossed aside, marginalized and oppressed.

I remember reading that JMS was very ill when he wrote that.
Sure maybe it's an excuse, but maybe the whole worship or "auteur" is way overdone amongst fandom.
I mean, it's fine, and I love this show so whatever, but there is an inherent problem when a large production is the product of one voice- that one voice is…

Doctor characters have always been the most problematic in sci-fi.  I think it's 'cause they're more defined by a job that is not the point of the show and is more of a tangent.  It's like, the point of the show is to explore space and encounter aliens and have adventures, but I guess someone has to be their doctor so…

Eh, if someone doesn't like a show, it's true, why bother watching it.  He's right- life IS too short.
I guess I just don't see the point in telling everyone.  Or commenting on it… hahah, the internet is stoopid.

I like your point about how cool it is to watch Sheridan and crew figuring out how to fight the Shadows.

To Rowan's point about how Sheridan's being right is the show's major shift to hero-centric morality, I don't disagree with it, but I would add that new Kosh is trying to practice the same thing but he's clearly not as right (even without spoilers, he's clearly giving out negative vibes already).

Yeah that stuck out at me as well, but I'm a jazz snob.
I don't know why rock/pop writers feel the need to inject a bit of jazz in their work, it is almost always embarrassing.  Like those "greatest albums" lists from Rolling Stone or Pitchfork that is like 96 rock albums and then Kind of Blue and A Love Supreme.

Ivanova/Marcus shipping?

Well that last point is part of it, yes.
But either way, she is the head of the Rangers during the final Shadow War.  I mean if that's not "The One," I don't know what is.

I'm surprised to read praise for first Drakh, I would think that would be made fun of lik N'Grath for being too over-the-top.

Yeah I see and understand your point.  I mean it could be what others said- that the "terrible price" includes planets being destroyed, their son almost enslaved, the Centauri being brought under heel, and always the horrible toll of war.

No physically Sheridan is still there.
So from the perspective of Sheridan in that cell, he's the dude that has lived his life all the way up to the moment where time-traveling Sheridan jumps into his mind/body, experiences that scene we watch with Delenn from the perspective of time-traveling Sheridan, than…
