pearwaldorfI had a horridly emo post I was going to put up this morning (I blame listening to Keane in an emotionally vulnerable state) but I'm glad I didn't.
I finally finished up B5 last night. Watching it on and off for the past three years, I was sad to see it end (although the horribly long drawn-out soppy goodbye episodes did make me wonder where Straczynski was hiding his hackery. And Sheridan was a dork til the end, but I still cried). It was still surprisingly pointed and relevant during the Bush era, and I suspect that if I rewatched it now, it would still have things to say, about belief, ideals, power and the corruption one can get in pursuit of it, and how two people on different sides of an issue can get over them and becomea couple friends. And y'know, stuff about space elves and Rangers and Shakespeare.
While it was one of the most plotty and thoughtful shows ever, it stood out especially for the strength of its characters. I can't think of a single person on the show that I didn't at least understand (although to be honest I loved them all. Except Byron, but he was meant to be lulzy, I think). I could never buy Mira Furlan as the crazy French lady on Lost, because she was always Delenn to me. (I guess Sheridan wasn't all that bad if Delenn thought he was good enough to marry, so.) And I still want to be Ivanova when I grow up. I will miss them all, even if I still have all the movies to watch.
pearwaldorf: Dang. I miss Babylon 5 now. That was such a good show. Even if the last bit of season 5 was totally wat.
cow: Oh man.
I want to watch it again
Also I want to watch large portions of DS9 again
Garak and G'Kar can both come hang out with me any time
I could totally be Bashir for Garak --
okay that came out wrong
pearwaldorf: I don't think so. :D
cow: IN A LUNCH WAY, NOT A FANFIC WAY
or, y'know, maybe both
