Just got pilot disc of BABYLON 5 thru netflix

I’ll let you know what I think of it again since it’s been so long since I’ve seen it. I skipped though it to make sure the disc worked (it does). Wow I’d forgotten the feel of it.

Though one thing Garibaldi – THOSE SHIPS LOOK LIKE XWINGS!!!!!!!

Yep, they do. Watch it carefully Yoda, its a very very powerful series. Let me warn you, season 1 is a bit slow but please stick with it, you will really appreciate it later

I won’t be able to watch the whole thing right away – I’m on the one disc at a time plan. I may get a few more but not right away.

It had been a long time since I saw it. But things were coming back a little. Like didn’t they have “privacy” bubbles for important conversions????????

[Garibaldi]

Nope, no privacy bubbles

I watched the second episode. Its starting to grow on me a bit.

You know this is sort of what I think they wanted ENTERPRISE to be like. Humans in the future with technology but not so far ahead that they could do pretty much anything like in TOS and TNG et. al. The characters are unique to a point. Its not that grabbing right now like you said about the first season but there is potential.

It is in a way like Enterprise. You’ll probably have a bit of a rough time with these first few episodes, but start latching onto the characters. Personally in the beginning I found Michael Garibaldi the easiest to relate to (I guess because of his humor) so that’s a place to start. Londo is good too

I didn’t get the right one after all. I found out theres THE GATHERING. Thats the real pilot.

Maybe I’ll check that out sometime.

I have it but haven’t watched it. I wouldn’t watch it if I were you first, I don’t think its the true gem of the series. Plus as you’ll notice, some of the characters look a lot different in it
