Matt G's B5 Rewatch

[Matt G]

1. Ah, this was the one with Brother Edward, he should have been left the hell alone. Reminded me of SG Atlantis's "Michael".

2. Getting my A and B plots mixed up, thought Lyta's return was later on.

3. Forgot about the flashback to...New York was it? That's quite a hallucination!

4. Malcolm got mindwiped that quick?

Interesting filler.

[maneth]

Gethsemane.

Brad Dourif usually does well as the villain. This one was creepy, that's for sure.

[Matt G]

1. First time I saw this was the first time I'd heard what happened to Earth Force One...and the first time I got a hint how dodgy the President was.

2. Oh...that scene with 'that' woman...even as a teenager that just looked...awkward!

3. Oh boy...now Zack and G'Kar are starting to poke holes in things.

4. Susan Ivonova, one of the few people crazy enough to pull a stunt like that with the First Ones.

NOw things are getting tasty!

2. Oh...that scene with 'that' woman...even as a teenager that just looked...awkward!

Ah, the Night Witch

"Good luck Captain, I think you're about to go... Where everyone has gone before"

[Matt G]

LOL! Was also surprised to see a B5 character referencing Trek! I mean OK, we know Garribaldi's into 20th century TV but surely something like Trek would have dissapeared into the mists of time by 2260.

[maneth]

Maybe among the general population, but possibly not within the spacefaring community...

[Matt G]

1. Another ep that was earlier in the series than I remembered.

2. Very nice stunt with the sleepers.

3. Well that's one way to mess up two high ranking Centauri.

4. Of course you can't trust the Psi Cops...

Fun ep!

[Nolamom]

doesn't surprise me about Garibaldi and old tv - he loves 20th C cartoons.

[Matt G]

Except it was Ivonova that made that particular reference.

[Raw_Deal]

You're really making me want to do a B5 rewatch of my own...

[Matt G]

1. Nowadays parasites like these always make me think of the Goa'uld.

2. Either way these creatures were still pretty freaky, even if their intentions were benign.

3. They were still f-ing arrogant though!

4. Susan and Marcus still have a long way to go!

[Cold Fuzz]

These particular parasites were similar in design to the parasites depicted in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Conspiracy." Even the pincers are very similar.

[maneth]

That's true, although in concept they always made me think of the Trill symbiotes, because they collected and stored memories and information, and accepted only volunteers as hosts.

[Matt G]

1. Oh yes now things are getting tasty...heading into the solar system was certainly high risk...

2. And leading a Shadow ship into Jupiter's atmosphere was downright insane!

3. On a lighter note, this is the ep we found out about Sheridan and rain...

4. Martial law already!

I hadn't worked out quite how tasty this was going to get at this point but the show was definitely starting to rock at this point!

[maneth]

Yeah, it really started to heat up here.
