Malfador Shuts Down

[General Woundwort]

I second the B5 sentiments here. I have all four seasons on DVD , and watch them regularly. I can't think of any major character that didn't shine, and it also produced my all-time favorite throw away line ("I want to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike...")

[Wolfman77]

Yes that was a great line. Especially since it came true. I have five seasons, did you misscount, or miss a season? The last was not on broadcast TV here.

[General Woundwort]

There was no fifth season. Trust me. It was a vile rumor. It never happened.

There was also no Highlander II, no Star Trek V, and no Alien: Resurrection. Just nightmarish hallucinations.

lol...I see...

Highlander in 30 seconds, and performed by bunnies: http://www.angryalien.com/0905/highlanderbuns.asp

Where would we be without Aaron Williams to find stuff like this for us?

[Atrocities]

All five seasons of B5 on DVD - $330.00
All B5 movies on DVD - $110.00
All 13 Episodes of Crusader on DVD - $60.00
Being able to watch B5 anytime - Priceless.

Yup, that's priceless.

I saw most of Babylon 5 but not entirely in order and I missed some episodes. One day I'll get the complete library and just watch them in sequence, one after another in its entirety.

General Woundwort writes: "There was no fifth season. Trust me. It was a vile rumor. It never happened."

The term "fifth season" refers to that agonizingly prolonged anti-climax that followed the climactic fourth season.

Best line of the entire series, delivered by the recently resurrected Sheridan: "I was dead. I'm better now." Unfortunately, the show wasn't. Dead, I mean. Or better.

Second best part of the series: At the climax of the war, the pipsqueak humans tell the mighty Vorlons and Shadows, their superiors by millions of years, to "get the hell out of our galaxy!"--and they GO!

The best part of the series actually happened BEFORE the show started, apparently just so they could call it "Babylon 5" instead of "Babylon":

They said it was *daft* to build a space station in a swamp, but I showed them!
It sank unto the swamp. So I built a second space station. That sank into
the swamp too. My third space station sank into the swamp. So I built a fourth
one. That fell into a time warp and _then_ sank into the swamp. But the fifth
one... stayed up! --Monty Python/Babylon 5

TOS is the best,.. period!

TNG? Let's see, Weisly Crusher=Bad, Reiker=Bad, The Doctors=Bad, Tasha=Bad, Q=Stupid, Gynen=Bad, Data=Good, Picard=Good, Worf=Good, Geordi=Good.

Result 5 Bad, 4 Good and One Stupid.. At best it fuddled through at mediocer speed. And the fact that the no longer had to 'Blodly go..' due to too many Holodeck episodes is Badx10^6.

DS9, Oh god, Now ST totally abandonns the 'Boldly Go,..' for "Come to us,.." Bad idea, bad, bad bad.

Voyager, Actually a fair attempt to bring life back into ST. Still too many Holodeck episodes. Best Casting Since TOS.

Enterprise, wtf? Piss poor, from the start, changing the opening music bad idea, and bad music to boot. Cast, felt like cardboard paper dolls, the captain's dog acted realistic at least. A series that is supposed to take place before the original and somehow the 'Borg' make an appearence. bad bad bad.

Other notes,.. Spock the single best Vulken ever. Have you seen Tuvok? whatch his face it's so emotional it's almost laughable.

Anyway, TOS rules the day for ST. just my humble opinion.

Cheers!

I watched farscape during a marathon they had. Two whole weeks of back-to-back-to-back... They showed every epsiode, from 8:00 to 4:00, 8 hours of it every day. I missed a few, but most of them I watched...

Now, TNG? I've watched all of those. They show them every day, 3 times a day... so why not watch it? Some of the episodes are good.
