Disappointed

trishw78

I'm a little disappointed over S4 I'm about 8 or 9 eps in and I can't believe

the war is over just in one ep

Like the click of the finger its over am I missing something will there be more about it... I thought it'd be dragged out a bit more tbh... on with the rest of S4 and

earth final conflict

Different show I get it but you know what I mean

Jack B. Badd

I know exactly what you mean!

The war ended in all of one episode

and I was like, wtf?! what just happened?! Then I was convinced it was a dream or a hoax or something until my mate convinced me that it wasn't. Then I was sad and my mate gave out to me for not liking season 4 so I was more sad But given that there wasn't supposed to be a season 5 and then there was, it kinda makes sense that season 4 is so squished. Am defo a season 2/3 girl myself.

Thats pretty much what happened, the

Shadow war

was meant to go on for the rest of S4, but before they started filming they were told they were only getting 4 seasons instead of 5, then when they were finishing up S4 they were told they were going to get to do S5 afterall, which is why

S4e22 is so rushed looking, the last episode of S5 was origionally made to end S4

.

madrab

yeah i remember when that happened on tv, god i was soo mad. but the rest of the season is really good

trishw78

I'm enjoying season 4 on ep12 i keep fallin asleep 'cause I'm tired not 'cause it boring so I keep having to re watch part of them

the biggest downfall of the entire arc is what happened while season 4 was being penned and filmed. i think the way the execs handled it was the beginning of the end for bab5. if they had gotten to do it the way they wanted the shadow war would have lasted the whole series and (trish dont read this)

the civil war would have been most of season 5

madrab

yeah i think most people wish that it had happened that way but if it hadnt we probably wouldnt have got ont of the best seasons in any tv show

Pugsley

But I think its the best series because of the

excellent fast pace, dont stop approach to the civil war, I would still have loved to see more of the Shadow War

.

trishw78

Haven't got past disk two yet. Can't believe the civil war has been so easily won so far. The takin back of Proxima 3 was childs play

jaggeh

dont worry trish some of the best episodes of the entire arc are yet to come.

Jack B. Badd

Yeah, even though s4 was definitely not my favourite season of the lot, the second half of it does indeed rock!

superfly

i always liked season 3-4 but felt s5 was very weak

I really don't like Mr. garabaldi at all even though he was programmed-ish I still don't like him

Actually the same thing happened to me. I loved in season 1,2,3 and from season 4 on I just found him painful! Dunno why

It was a little disappointing p'raps to end with

"Now get the hell out of my galaxy!" and have them... get out

but we all know why it happened so. Originally S4 would've ended with

Sheridan's capture after Garibaldi's traitor-moment

which would have been interesting.

I did enjoy S5, but it didn't hold up as well with the whole

whining Byron

storyline generally not making me feel the way it was probably intended to.

Oh well!

Thats pretty much the only flaw with S5 aswell imo, the whole

centauri

thing was done excellently imo.

Qft?

madrab

It means quoted for truth i think (or possibly quit f&cking trolling according to wikipedia im hoping for the former)

i.e. legend of the rangers kills kittens

But what's wrong with the Legend of the Rangers, bit dull and all I know but still?

2 words, weapon system *shudder*

not to mention the flagrant disregard for the history that had been laid out in b5 & crusade & the horrible ships - had the designer never scene any of the previous minbari ships? & various other complaints

The weapon system was a big killer for me, omg it was disgusting, I nearly cried first time they used it, so, so bad.

Not too bothered about the ship designs, I cant remember off the top of my head (and Im not watching it again to check) but arent them ships a mix of human and minbari tech? if so they kind of fit for a mix of the 2 designs a bit. (even if its more ROmulan than either :rolleyes:)

madrab

yeah, it was meant to be a mix of human & minbari tech but so was the excaliber & there is no comparison between them

bizmark

Heh i remember watching lotr for the first time and laughing my ass off at the weapon system then turning it over the second someone walked into the room as it was just to embarrassing to watch.The best film remains in the begining by far.

Btw isn’t that fugly earth/minbari ship supposed to be one of the first co op projects? Would explain why it’s so crap looking



(the enterprise would pwn any crappy b5 ship btw)

i believe we had this discussion before

I am a huge fan of B5. Have been addicted since my husband forced me to watch the series a few years ago (for my own good of course ) I have been participating in the Babylon 5 role playing game for the past two years months and have found it a wonderful way of immersing myself in JMS' universe. Has anyone else had a go at it yet?
