Should I Blind Buy Babylon 5?

What was all that shit with Lennier?
The two of them together were like the Skipper and Gilligan.
Then suddenly they're fighting over Maryanne?
Actually?
Who was the Skipper into?
Unless he liked boys, his only real option, because Ginger and Marianne were children, was to have an affair with Lovey Howe behind Thurstan's back... No offence to Jim, but Mr Magoo was more virile than Thurstan Howe the Third.

I don't hate season five, just Byron.
How many times did you rewind and watch it again when he set himself on fire?
How many angels can burn on the head of a pin Byron?
C'mon Byron?
How Many??

Agreed. I'm not a huge fan of Lochley or Byron, but they didn't make me hate the season. The second half of Season 5 may very well be my favorite arc of the series.
To be fair, the otherwise awful and self righteous Telepath arc did give us more of Bester which is a very good thing...
And the Centauri war/Drakh storyline was definitely the highlight of season five. (for all his all to brief screen time the Regent was a very memorable character indeed)
I did a blind buy on S5. I had to watch the entire series, but man getting through S5 is FRIGGIN HARD!
Is it because of Byron? Tell me it's because of Byron.
Don't you just want to slap him??
Gawd, that was part of it. I know outside events made things complicated, but I was just getting over losing Marcus. And never seeing Marcus in his skivvies.
Plus, I don't know if I ever looked up from my computer to watch S5. I finally had to take the DVD out of the player.
Same here. But then, I also never understand why people tend to inflate how much the Telepath arc dominated the season.

I'm sad that 1/4 of every episode in season 5 wasn't a dirty sweaty chandelier swinging from Narn/Teep Orgy.
I agree with this. In hindsight it really was ahead of it's time.
What most women actually like and what most straight men think they like is not at all the same thing. This goes even more for what young women/girls like and what straight guys think they like.
I'm not talking about generalities.
My girlfriend, my friends sister and another friends girlfriend.
A cackling trio of fangirls who didn't even realize that we had turned them into fangirls as all our worlds spent some years overlapping.
They would go on an on about Byron's hair and his dreamy accent endlessly.
Sickening.
Also...
My girlfriend would routinely go in depth listing all the dirty things she wanted to do to Doctor Julian Bashir, but that's source for another thread entirely.
Oh.
I only just got that.
She was hinting that she wanted to rollplay.
Well, I'm dense.

My wife actually cheered.
You lucky bastard!
Your woman isn't defective.

My post was agreeing with you.
You weren't agreeing strenuously enough.
I may have worded it badly. My point was that Your confusion about your female compatriots swooning over Byron is a normal response for a straight guy. Because the image most straight guys have for what straight women tend to like is less than accurate. So someone like Byron or say your average boybander shows up, lots of women get weak in the knees and a lot of straight guys are all "WTF is this?" lol
Really?
In retrospect though, I was probably just overcompensating while suppressing my latent homosexual desires for Byron?
He is a very handsome romance novel cover sort of man.
Like a weedy Fabio.
But here's where my queer potential peters out... That **** was an idiot.
I'm more than happy to be enthralled by a complete moron if she's a woman.
Society has all but programmed men to find an IQ of 80 superhot, and these women only cared about Byron's beautiful, beautiful exterior, all the while ignoring his inner flushing and swelling deush. Does that happen a lot with women?
"I like aman with a mind, but he needs to have a great looking staircase up to that mind."

A secret that is good to know, women can be as shallow and set crazed as men.
