I've decided to do my first Babylon 5 rewatch!

Lets have a binge thread to talk about B5!

I would love to find a 4k remaster of the series, there are some great demo videos on youtube, but on the streaming sites I can only find 720p. If you have any trouble choosing which streaming service to use just search for fmhy and they will have a curated list of options.

TV shows were wild back then, 22 episodes per season, 45 minutes each; 1000 minutes per season!

Season 3 - Episode 10 - Severed Dreams

What a absolute triumph of storytelling payoff.

The start of season 3 we see the civil war boil over to a point of no return, the shadows are acting more brazenly through their proxies.

In Episode 10 we have 2 season of buildup starting to come together and pay off, in a absolutely captivating and thrilling way. no single minute of screen time was wasted in this episode.

Babylon 5 is now independent, no turning back, it lives and dies by diplomacy now with no earth support.

We had first civil war, but what about second civil war? The membari also are divided and the religious casts come to the aid of B5.
