A Klingon, A Ferengi, A Hologram, and YOU!

Just watched "Matters of Honor"...

I can't believe Londo thinks Morden will go away that easy... And speaking of Morden... An EA senator, a Psi Corps officer, and Morden in the same room = not good.

Whitestar = nice kickass ship.

Nice bit of continuity regarding the Markab system jumpgate begin used to destroy a Shadow vessel. Also, at one point Delenn mentions that the Whitestar's weapons can't hope to hurt a Shadow vessel, but last season, a few Narn ships did manage to wound one. But of course, she doesn't know about that.

And why are doctors always the last to hear about anything?

 

[Orac Zen]

Good, he's started watching already. I approve.

I've wanted a White Star ever since I first saw one. Lots of good moments in this ep. So many great moments to come....

What do you think of S3's opening credits, Steven?

 

[eastman23]

Skipped 'em. Wasn't sure if there was spoilers in them or not. I remember someone telling me that about last season's credits spoiling Delenn's change, so I was a bit hesitant about viewing this season's.

 

[Orac Zen]

Nothing like that this season. Check 'em out.

 

[eastman23]

Oh, okay.

And another thing I like about these sets is that they have the promos right on the DVDs. I'm beginning to think that Paramount really screwed up when it came to ST DVDs.

[edit]
Cool title sequence. I like it better then season 2. And I can't remember season 1 at the moment. I like the DVD menu for season 2 better though.

 

[Orac Zen]

Oh, don't get me started on Trek sets. No one's been able to tell me why they cost up to $100 more here than the B5 sets....

Remember - avoid all commentaries etc. They contain spoilers.

Well, I've got my first flight in about three hours, so I'm gonna be leaving in about an hour and a half. I still need to do a couple of things, so I guess I'll talk to you guys when I'm in Canada again.

I am, don't worry. Now, on to my various thoughts for a few episodes.

Convictions
-Nice little stand alone episode (at the moment, it'll probably tie in the overall arc somehow later on )
-The standard "two people in an elevator" scene. Interaction between Londo and G'Kar in there was priceless.

A Day in the Strife
-Is Vir really gone now?
-Do we ever find out where the probe came from?
-I'm guessing that stims are the drug of the time?

And I'm currently watching "Voices of Authority". Political officer? How... Soviet Union-ish.

[edit]
Damn, Morden seems to be everywhere, doesn't he?

The Narns seem to have an extensive knowledge of the past... detailed descriptions of the Shadows, knowledge of something around Sigma 957... wow.

[edit again]
"Messages from Earth" ->

[edit again]
"Point of No Return" indeed. Narn security guards (), the start of a civil war, and both Londo and Vir becoming Emperor at different points in the future?

Safe trip, BigFoot!!! Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as you get to North America again!

Steven and SB...IMO, the season 3 credits are the best of all the seasons. Although I do like seaon 4's as well. I like all of them talking, SB, you know?

Hate season 5's credits though. Probably my least favorite season.

Glad you are enjoying season 3 so far, Steven!!!

Well, I like all of 'em, but when pushed I usually go for season 5. I like that music the best of the lot, I think. But S3 is very close behind. And I do know what you mean about S4, Vash.

Excellent, Steven - you're nearly at what IMHO is the best episode of the lot. I await further comments with great interest....

 

[eastman23]

Holy freaking crap!

"If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

BEST. LINE. EVER.

 

[Orac Zen]

So you liked the episode then?

My choice for the best hour of SF television ever.

"Messages From Earth", "Point of No Return" and "Severed Dreams" together are simply incredible stuff - one of the best mini-arcs in the series. I'm really looking forward to seeing them again.

 

[eastman23]

/\ No kidding. I'm watching "Severed Dreams" again. Wow.

 

[Orac Zen]

It does have that effect, doesn't it?

 

[eastman23]

Oh yeah.

Another thing I've noticed is that there are a large number of actors that have also appeared on Star Trek. Pretty interesting.

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Yay!!!! You finally saw it!!!!

My favorite moment in all of Babylon 5!!!!

Delenn...kickin' ass and takin' names!

LA is obviously a much smaller place than we're led to believe.

"Severed Dreams" rules. IMHO it, like "The Coming of Shadows" and a few other eps in the series, flows so naturally it's like the events are actually happening. And that line of Delenn's - that whole scene - is just superlative. There isn't an ordinary moment in the whole thing.

Keep going, Steven - plenty more great stuff to come.

 

[PKTrekGirl]

^ Yeah...that is by far my favorite moment of the show.

Every time I watch Severed Dreams, I replay that part a couple of times. I just can't help myself!

[BigFoot]

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe, yeah, I'm alive and well, back in Canada now. I'm tired as hell though, stupid jet-lag. The trip was fairly uneventful, it is good to be with my g/f again though.

Anyway, as expected Steven loved Severed Dreams. Everyone does, hehehe.
