Did Valen go beyond the rim, too, I wonder. I want to see THAT story in the Lost Tales, too. Damn, I don't think I'd be pleased with those unless they did 40 installments.

I think we need a whole new series.

I hope it sticks to DVD for a while, so we don't have any of that lame tampering by the network.

Oh, and this is goodbye... Babylon 5, we hardly knew you.

I love that Ivanova does the closing monologue. Just like in Season 2.

And watch the sun come up is exactly what I did that first morning after seeing this for the first time

Re: First time impressions from the Babylon 5 virgin

Yes, that's why all of the opening sequences were done in past tense.

That was sad

Re: First time impressions from the Babylon 5 virgin

These closing credits are so perfect. Comparisons of "then and now"

they use the day of the dead music for the "every morning delenn watches the sun come up" scene

Re: First time impressions from the Babylon 5 virgin

Well, the closing credits had their usual effect.

Final episodes simply do not get any better than this.


Thanks, everyone. This was great. :thumbsup: Now to go back and properly read what everyone had to say.

Thanks for organizing this running commentary! It was great! We should do this again for The Lost Tales.
