Babylon 5. Season Five. 'Nuff Said.![]()
It's from the Kingdom of the Transdimensional Alien Crystal Skull.
I feel like saying- because loads of people seem to have a problem with the aliens and the skull- that the crystal skulls as a depository of alien or extradimensional knowledge is a well established myth dating back many thousands of years. People seem to view it as a WTF? plot, and say it was too wierd, but it's mythology, no different from the Holy Grail.![]()
And i feel like saying the Crystal Skull myths do not date back thousands of years, because the first one was made in the 19th century. There is absolutely nothing, zip, zero, zilch about Crystal Skulls in any of the mythology of the Ancient Civilizations of the Middle and South Americas.
Shaping the skulls of infants into odd shapes yes, strange looking people referred to as Outsiders or Visitors from the Sky, yes. But Crystal Skulls are nothing but a hoax. Any mythology attached to them is a modern invention.

I don't understand why Season Five is so reviled. It's quieter, less epic and the show was forced to find a new focus, but I enjoyed it just as much as the preceding four seasons.![]()

Not me. Its not as bad as, oh, Andromeda. But it just seemed like they got J M to make another season of a show that already had a begining middle and end...
And I think DS9 would have suffered as well, had after WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND they had come to IRA and said "give us another season".
BAB-5 should have called it quits after season-4. And I think, if he was pressed to admit it...J M would agree. IMO the later BABs just didn't have it. And that dreary Direct to DVD thingy he put out a year or so back, which I bought, filmed on all those great 'green screen' sets was..well...I should have waited to get it in the 5$ bin like my friend did just last month...

Well, that's not what I read. For one thing, I recall reading that one of the actual artifacts- not one of the many more modern copies- took 300 years to create, or so its estimated. If a people spend 300 years crafting a work of art, I'm pretty sure there must be substantial reason for it. Also, I've heard the "all a hoax" idea, too, and my understanding was that it was, at best, at least as theoretical and shaky as the possible mythology. Even if you're correct, my actual point that the makers of the film didn't simply pull the idea out of their backside at random still stands![]()
nuBSG when they "killed" Starbuck and then she came back. Or anything about the Final Five.
I thought it happened when Rosalin was "cured" of her cancer. It's just so typical of TV to put a main character in a situation with no way out and then magically have the character get out of it at the last minute. nuBSG became just another show for me at that moment when the writers/producers didn't have the balls to actually kill her off. It's hardly surprising when they kill off Starbuck only to bring her back.nuBSG when they "killed" Starbuck and then she came back. Or anything about the Final Five.

If they had killed Rosalin early on it would have made viewers doubt if Starbuck would come back to the show after she was "killed." Is there anyone who didn't know Starbuck would be back?
