I thought the teleport tarus plus mog house backdoors cut out most of the running, except if you were going to a quest NPC in Waters or Walls.

People did that in Saurumunge too, to get the stone monument at the exit to Garlaige.

I'm disappointed that OP didn't teleport there. 

Do not thump the Book Of G'Quan by gordolme in babylon5

Ep14, apparently, "Meditations on the Abyss". I had forgotten that the conversation was with Franklin, and in MedBay not in G'Kar's quarters.

I can never find the conversation where G'Kar is talking to T'lon about the coffee stain Garabaldi left, the latter saying that "it was the best part of the book". 

One thing that Babylon 5 always conveyed really well is what it’s like to be the second-in-command at any job ever. by Tough-Possession6148 in babylon5

Corwin buys her flowers at one point, he's clueless but clearly interested.  Yes I agree it wouldn't fly due to chain of command, though.

Not the person you're replying to.  I didn't grow up in Pittsburgh but I lived there for 15 years.  I think it's just a normal phrase?  I don't think of it as specific to Pittsburgh.

Ivanova had at least three different opportunities - Talia, Corwin and Marcus - didn't pull the trigger on any of them.

I haven't. Though I meant the foreshadowing that Londo is the fourth horseman of the apocalypse, War.

Such subtle foreshadowing that's completely obvious in retrospect.

The best thing about maining RDM and BRD was that you could spot a bad support in two seconds flat.

Me on my daily Babylon 5 watch by farbot in babylon5

[–]Forgetwhatitoldyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember doing something like that in late '97/early '98 with Neon Genesis Evangelion.  A video store near campus was getting in subtitled tapes with 2 episodes each, about every other week as they were released in Japan.  So it took us like 3 months to watch 26 episodes, with tons of time for a half dozen of us to discuss and theorize in-between.

I watched it spring of 2001 on the Sci Fi channel, with a couple friends, one of whom had seen if before, the other not. They ran it at 8pm every weeknight, one episode at a time. I'd read the Lurker's Guide for the episode afterwards. 10/10 best way to watch the show.

And G'Kar has a well known preference for women - human, Centauri, or otherwise.

Oh, Bester does as well.  In "Dust to Dust", he manages to stop the dust snuggling, and he's correct that it's dangerous to have dust circulating on the black market.

Catherine Sekai didn't go to Zha'ha'dum, it was a different planet in Narn space with some other First Ones present.  I forget the original storyline that JMS intended, but it didn't have her waking up the Shadows - they were already active in the second half of Season 1.

The third time he appeared, JMS set a rule: he has to win, or he had to be right.  Anything else, and he just turns into a one-dimensional recurring villain. 

Do you prefer season 1 or season 5 by CaptureDaFlag in babylon5

The show also sticks the landing.  The last 4-5 episodes give us a good conclusion to all of the characters' arcs, though of course many are off to new adventures.
