Wow...gotta say I was expecting more of a reaction to Severed Dreams than what we got here.
Seems us 'old' fans are more enthusiastic than the new.
Best episode of any scifi show EVER as far as I am concerned.
Probably has a lot to do with how easy it is to watch it, rewind, watch a bit again & then move on to the next with the series on DVD for the new fans, rather than watch, fast forward through commercials, and then wait a week for the next installment that the 'old' fans had to go through.

Legacies
A bit boring, but interesting because we got to see more of the Minbari society. Got to see the Warrior caste which was good to see, because I expected the Minbari to be a lot more hostile towards humans after a bloody war, especially since the only reason they lost it seems is because the religious caste issued the surrender order. It's a shame they didn't expand on how the war started, other than some guy called Dukat () died.

I liked Messages From Earth more, but that 3 parter was amazing.

Yes, I agree. I have to say that the one week (or longer) wait times between episodes, while frustrating at the time, helped me build up my excitement for the show. For the few shows where I've been able to watch it at a faster clip, because of daily reruns or downloads or whatever, I think it tends to detract from my viewing experience somewhat, even though I get the instant gratification of getting to watch the next episode right away.

I might have bought this, if I hadn't watched B5 for the first time myself on the Scifi Channel 5 years ago, when they played 4 episodes a week, Monday through Thursday.
I couldn't friggin WAIT to get home from work! For the NEXT. Babylon Fiiiive!

My way is still quicker, and possibly better.
I started with 'A Late Message from Avalon' this afternoon, and have 'And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place' playin' now.
By the way, Neroon (the character, not the board member) is a dick.
Smooth recovery! :thumbsup:
I think we need hourly updates as to whether or not Neroon is still a dick.
