OK, OK, I'm ashamed to say that only in the last few months that I got around to watching B5, through friend's recommendation - and I call myself a sci-fi fan...
Anyway, I watched the final episode of season 5 last night. I'll be honest, it tore me apart. The 20 years thing has always been nagging on my mind and to actually jump 20 years for the last ep to show it happen - well, seeing what Sheridan and Delenn had and see it go is literally heart-breaking.
But this brings me back to a very simple question: why did JMS decide that he had to only live 20 years? Why couldn't he have just been given his life back, end of story?
This not only prevents any series taking place after the events of this episode if you want Sheridan in them, but it just feels wholly unnecessary - almost perverse in fact.
Anyone got any insight?
