[delurking] I watched the Lost Tales a few days ago, which has inspired me to start watching B5 from the beginning. again. Now, I'm no newbie. I was watching B5 when it was on TV. Then I watched it again on tape when I was recording the shows on my VCR. Over the years I've watched the tapes again, then bought the DVD's when they came out and watched those. So obviously I've been through the whole series a couple of times and seen some of the key episodes a few times more.
I don't say this to brag or to introduce myself. What I'm trying to say is that I'm bewildered and amazed that I can see some of these episodes so many times and yet still be awed, amused, mystified, moved, enthralled and entertained my watching them one more time. Last night I watched The Parliament of Dreams ("...but in purple,,,,I'm stunning!"); tonight I watched Mind War, which inspired me to write this. I mean, Psi Corps, Bester, Talia, Sigma957, "nobody is exactly as they appear", "be seeing you". All in just one episode and yet each one a thread to another episode and another story. And this episode also has one of my favorite lines of dialogue/ideas in the whole series; "and if one ant asked the other, 'what was that?!'..." (I could type out the whole thing but I know I'm preaching to the choir).
Up next, The War Prayer ("my shoes are too tight") and And The Sky Full of Stars, whoo boy. Man I love this show.
Ok, I'm going back down below now. Carry on as you were.
