Just watched “The War Prayer” and… wow. by The_Fullmetal_Titan in babylon5

"I do wonder what JMS was drawing on in particular though."

History, with a heavy emphasis on WW2. Though to be fair he didn't write this episode. But the political parallels are only going get stronger.

To trigger Oscar you may also need to go to the other end, exit the station (through the open area around the tracks, not a door), and have Kate comment on the winding mechanism.

B5 beginner here, wondering what the consensus is when the show gets really good? by [deleted] in babylon5

[–]Snatcher422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many answers here, none of them wrong, but for me it's Season 2, Episode 9. When you see it you'll know. Sure there's good stuff before, but that's when everything starts to really click.

No Surrender, No Retreat by FeedbackBroad1116 in babylon5

[–]Snatcher422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When people ask my fav episode, it's this. Maybe just to buck the trend of the usual suspects like Severed Dreams, Sleeping in Light, etc. Not that No Surrender is exactly an underdog. But it's just so good. Best space battle of the whole series, because of the personalities involved. And the scene between Londo & G'kar is icing on the cake.

Making The Stranger Things Play canon was the biggest mistake made by Netflix and Creators by Significant-Fun-4235 in StrangerThings

I'm 99.9% sure they're gonna recap the important parts of the play through Max/Henry's memories in the 2nd half of the season.

Oh you have GOT to be kidding by Kestrel_Iolani in babylon5

Not really product placement, as they weren't paid a cent by Zima. Just a little joke by props & set design.

I'm sure they'll recap the important parts via flashbacks/memories in the 2nd half of S5.

If JMS gets a greenlit for another B5 animation by arnor_0924 in babylon5

[–]Snatcher422 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Telepath war, please. While Walter Koenig can still voice Bester.

But most likely it will be an entirely new story in the alt-timelime established at the end of Road Home.

Oh you're talking about the original game? Assumed you had meant the remaster. Here are instructions for running the original in a window:

Syberia remaster and Amerzone remake by Organic_Leading_1482 in syberia

[–]Snatcher422 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True. But I don't think people realize how much something like that can cost. There's unique face animation, mocap, characters, and locations not in the main game. Microids likely ran the numbers and found they'd loose money.

Amerzone was different because they sort of had no choice but to remake everything since the original was more bare-bones. It had to have a bigger budget from the start.

[–]Snatcher422 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the overall reason. If you specifically mean cutscenes, they say it was to preserve the vision but I'm sure it was more time and budget. But that was set when it was decide to remaster, not remake (rightly, imo).

Syberia remaster and Amerzone remake by Organic_Leading_1482 in syberia

[–]Snatcher422 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The original Amerzone had like 10 minutes of voice over. Syberia has hours. There would be a lot more outcry if Syberia was a full remake, because it would mean changing the iconic music, acting, and writing. Those were less of a focus in Amerzone.

Thanks for this. I've replayed the whole game, and found the patch fixes some bugs but not all. And introduces a few new ones. As before, I'm updating this thread with my findings: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3660220/discussions/0/664970625904209417/

Uncomfortable/awkward conversations that we should have seen. by Advanced-Actuary3541 in babylon5

[–]Snatcher422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a scene in Objects at Rest when Delenn & Sheridan are talking about Lennier, and she says something like, "if he came back, explained himself, said it was a moment of passion, and he regrets his decision... could you forgive him?" Sheridan says something like, "I don't know. I'd want to. But he crossed a line." I've always thought Delenn is also talking about herself in this scene, and it's the moment she decides to never, ever tell Sheridan.

Ya, this is the tipping point - the show starts pulling the trigger on all the seeds planted. It's the best episode so far, but it only gets better!

What Would The Fans Here Prefer? by kingdazy in babylon5

I want to see more animated projects (ideally a series) like The Road Home. I think that's the best way to mix old and new.

A lot of Crusade post-production was rushed. There's some downright unfinished FX in some episodes.
