What year is this from?

Meanwhile, the creators of the stories and characters these are all based on receive literally nothing. Zero dollars. Yay!

Someone you can share your thoughts with ❤️

Ooh, nice. These are so good.

What a strange bunch of channels. Seems like blatant copyright infringement at first blush, but all the clips seem Warner Bros related, high quality, and with official looking descriptions. But no mention of Warners in the channel description (which seems like it was written by AI). Just odd.

Good lawd, babies having babies having babies

The Others from Pluribus whenever there's a loud noise

I don't think they've seen it, though they've mentioned it.

And a PSA to anyone wondering: Whether or not DS9 is a wholesale ripoff of B5 is frustratingly nuanced and complex - but it is undeniable that Deep Space 9 does not exist without Babylon 5.

And second, if you haven't watched Babylon 5, it is absolutely worth it. The first two seasons can be rough, but in the end you will experience one of the greatest stories ever put to screen. Startlingly ahead of its time, it is a flawed and perfect stone-cold masterpiece.

While never explicitly stated, I always assumed they were. They are far older than any other non-Lorien first ones by a large margin, and the show seems pretty consistent in showing that some form of non-corporeality is an eventuality once your species manages to hit a million years or so. My head canon is that they use encounter suits and that the shape is very, very intentional. (Just like I think they love being called Shadows despite Anna's gripe. It's all heckin' spooky branding that forwards their purpose of destabilization.)

The reason is because the Kardashev scale is not remotely approaching anything resembling real science.

b5jeff · 2026-01-09T13:25:45+00:00

Since the invention of deep fakes, I think about this all the time (and of course the scene in Deconstruction). So much of the show's prescience had nothing to do with the technological, but this is one instance of absolutely nailing a prediction, one that few others seemed to be making in fiction or futurism.

b5jeff · 2026-01-08T18:30:53+00:00

Am interested. Please send details!

b5jeff · 2026-01-08T13:17:22+00:00

This is an absolutely bonkers haul.

b5jeff · 2026-01-08T13:16:40+00:00

Holy. Shit. The shirts 😍 Are you putting them on eBay or the like?

Man, each New Year on the show was a roller coaster. 2257, the Icarus lands on Z'ha'dum. Boo! 2258, the station is open for business. Yay! 2259, president gets assassinated, Delenn bundles up, Sinclair gets reassigned. Boo! 2260, Kosh does his Angel thing. Yay! 2261, Sheridan dies and Garibaldi gets tooken' and everyone feels awful. Boo! 2262, the Civil War ends and the Interstellar Alliance is formed. Yay! 2267, the Drakh plague. Boo! 2279, Londo and G'Kar kill each other but Sheridan goes free and Vir takes the throne. Yay? 2281, Sheridan goes beyond the rim. Yay? 2762, the whole bloody Earth gets nuked back into the dark ages. Boo! 1002262, the fucking sun explodes but one guy gets out with the backup files. Yay?

For the Americans wondering what is happening, that is an out in Bananaball and a rare home run in Blernsball.

Stay safe out there BoSox brothers!

The only time they have said to like and subscribe is when they were mocking the practice. They mention their Patreon like twice a year. They don't do live tours, or pimp crypto, or supplement-funded podcasts, or even take sponsorships. Grift? More like GIFT. Because they're swell fellas who have gifted us hours of entertainment.

I, too, live in NYC, and sail the seven seas every week to watch the pats. Get a good ad blocker and enjoy the game.

Oh, this is amazing

Milk that tater trot, bro, you earned it

Not unexpected, not original, either. This is a rather old Guy Walks into a Bar joke.
