BABYLON 5 | go90

HEY GUYS, did you know you can watch all of Babylon 5, aka one of the greatest sci-fi shows of all time EVER, for FREE??

Some reasons to watch:

– Season 2 to 4 are some of the greatest television OF ALL TIME (and written by a single TV writer for maximum continuity), like when I was writing fic for this show I had to tag WHICH EPISODE my characterization was based on because characters grew so much from one episode to the next all in a CONTINUOUS BUILDING ARC.

– It has one of the earliest canonical lesbian couples in American TV history! It also has an episode where 2 men go undercover as a married couple and the joke is the idea of these two particular people being married and not the idea of gay marriage. Also there was one character conceived of as a nonbinary alien, and she was only made female because it would have meant too much prosthetics for the actress and they were conscious of her comfort.

– It has one of the greatest character arcs of all time where a comedy relief character basically makes a deal with the devil and we see their downward descent, which I am still emotional about to this day. Seriously, it’s Shakespearean. Pretty much every character gets an amazing arc but this one still kills me.

My suggestion is watch season 1 in the background and just enjoy the ride, it’s very Trek-like in its lightheartedness, but don’t be deceived by the disparate stories, EVERY SINGLE EPISODE is building towards the main plot. Then strap in for season 2 because SHIT GOES DOWN.

Babylon 5: Series 2 Episode 18

In the Shadow of Z’hadum

BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT MAKES THIS GREAT. What makes this great is that two years later, TWO YEARS later, this happens:

My heart belongs to Trek, but never dismiss Bab5.

Hey guys, I’m not usually one for this craic, but here’s the thing.

I’m an autistic guy with no job, I’m also very uncomfortable being open on the internet.

I am looking for work, but I’ve been hit by cuts in the UK and while I do get to host a weekly radio show, it’s community radio and I’m not paid or allowed to make money from it.

I performed these audio posts;

Centauri and I Know It

Dog In A Trenchcoat.

I also did A Bunch Of Live Blogs (each of those words is a separate link)

And I used to run a Babylon 5 Fan Page on Tumblr.

If you enjoy anything I’ve done, please consider, after helping out the people who did most of the work for those audio posts, throwing me a couple of pounds or whatever. I would really appreciate it.

I don’t really make a lot of dumb stuff often, and I’m very uncomfortable with asking for money. Maybe I could give something new in exchange, I could write bad video game opinions or bad music opinions or something. I do have a version of Space Oddity where most of the proper nouns are “Tom” that Tumblr wouldn’t accept because it uses the original backing track, maybe I can throw a video for that together. But this is what I’ve got for now.

Thanks.
