@ddagent always finds the loveliest pics of Mira ❤️
Forever in love with this luminous, incredible woman who rose above the pain and horrors of this world to leave a lasting legacy of love and hope, light and compassion, of belief that a more peaceful, just world is possible if we fight for it. Through her acting, her writing, her music, her activism, she gives me hope and faith in the beauty of shining a light in the darkest places, of having the courage to stand up and loudly speak the truth when everyone around you wants to (literally) destroy you for it. I just cannot comprehend the sheer, unadulterated, unyielding strength that takes.
A beautiful soul, indeed.
Forever grateful for discovering Babylon 5 and falling in love with Delenn, and through her, finding that Mira was just as much a badass in actuality as the fictional one she played on TV.
What that person said! Best TV show of all time!
If you’re looking for a sci-fi show with….
Realistic takes on technology
Political intrigue and high drama
Complex, strong, and likable female characters
Fun and distinct alien cultures
Infuriating, scary, and delightful villains
Found family and beautiful friendships
Respectful portrayal of religion in a scientifically oriented show
Characters that grow, change, learn, and progress
Strong male leads who portray wise and intelligent leaders
Fantastically complex, fun, and interesting side characters
The ability to balance each character's unique style of humor with seriousness and sincerity
One of the greatest romances of the century
The profoundness of truth
and much more, then Babylon 5 is the show for you
The most bad@ speech in sci-fi and you can't prove me wrong.
Okay, okay, there is Susan's Death Incarnate speech. That is the only other acceptable answer.

babylon 5 x internethippo part 1
There is a lot I could say right now. I want to be angry and yell at the high heavens. But I doubt that will do much good.
This race is all but decided it seems. And it doesn't look good. I could go into detail about the dangers we now face, but you've all heard it.
I am angry, scared, and tired. And I doubt tomorrow will be much better. It is more important now than ever that we make our voices heard. That we stand tall against the bigotry, hatred, and injustice we may face.
In the immortal words of one Ambassador G'Kar-
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power governments, and tyrants, and armies can not stand.
Remember that, remember to stand up against those who would see such liberties taken away, and remember that only you have the choice to stand for what is right.
We are all so fucked
Total longshot here but- I am asking if anyone might know if there is a dialoge/sfx free version of Stewart Copland's score for the original cut of The Gathering out there anywhere, be that a physical release or somewhere online
Wow. I have never posted anything thats gotten that much of a responce. Figured I'd give a bit of a follow up to that post-
I gained an interest in the show mainly through learning about the history behind it and just how ahead of its time and influential of a show it is. Thus far I've really enjoyed it. Even the weaker episodes all had something interesting or well written going on (I seriously don't see the hate for TKO), and the great episodes are really good.
Season 2 kept the momentum going, the feud between the Narns and Centari has been the definite highlight. The loss of Sinclair really sucks, especially knowing the irl circumstances behind it. But on the bright side, Sheridan has been great addition to the cast and they've done a fantastic job making him not just Sinclair MK.2.
In terms of gripes, its really just down to Na'toth being absent for 90% of the season and my finding Warren Keffer to be uninteresting. But beyond that- great stuff. And season 3 has been even better thus far.
Babylon 5 is hands down one of the best pieces of Sci-fi television I have seen.
And I've only just finished the second season.
You ever just listen to a piece of music from something you've never actually watched and now its stuck in your head playing on repeat?
Thats me right now with the Babylon 5 theme from the 5th season
…And again in the season one Babylon 5 episode, “Infection”:
“You and the rest, you forgot the first rule of the fanatic: when you become obsessed with the enemy, you become the enemy!”
That JMS repeated himself virtually verbatim goes to show that this is a message he felt very strongly about (and rightfully so)!
That video of Alex Hirsch reading S&P notes for Gravity Falls conveys a few things to me:
1) the U.S. entertainment industry (especially animation) is run by older conservative types who make up offensive terms and get really mad about them.
2) the people who run Disney would be the first to fall in line with a fascist regime.
3) most of the media we consume is tailor-made and watered-down to appeal to the tastes of older, deeply religious conservative audiences.
4) conservatism, not the left, is and always has been the biggest voice of censorship in American culture.
From what I recall, JMS originally offered the explanation that:
1. He had written the character of Jeffrey Sinclair to be something of a warrior-philosopher (which makes a great deal of sense if you are familiar with the character's eventual fate); with considerable emphasis on the 'philosopher' component in the first season.
2. From the second season forward, Sinclair would adopt a more action-oriented role, and drive the main story arc forward.
3. He hadn't laid the necessary groundwork for this change; and having written himself into a corner, JMS opted to exercise one of his famous 'trapdoors' and switch Sinclair out for John Sheridan.
The reasoning wasn't wholly implausible (imagine, for instance, Sinclair deploying nuclear weapons with the same sort of joyful abandon as Sheridan); and the timing happened to coincide with the introduction of Hotshot Network Note Warren Keffer (which lent some credence to the idea that TNT had a hand in the change)
To give full credit to JMS: not only did he protect Michael O'Hare's reputation (and kept the actor's mental health struggles in confidence until after his passing), but he did so by offering up a cover story that placed the blame entirely on his own shoulders.
If I had a nickel for every time a 90s sci-fi show had to write out a character who had visions and other mental power things, because their actor developed severe mental health issues, only for the producers to lie about why they'd been written out for decades afterwards? And they came back once or twice for a cameo?
I'd have 10 cents, but it's still weird that it happened twice.
