Babylon 5 1x3 FULL LENGTH Reaction | Born to the Purple

FULL LENGTH REACTION

Comments

SbE

There are some great times ahead with this show. Season 1 is among the 2 weakest seasons, but that's only because the standards of the other ones is so damn high. Some hit-and-miss storylines here and there, but overall fantastic. Obviously can't go into specifics because of spoilers, but some of the character arcs in this show are the best of any tv show ever imo.

"Welcome to episode 3. Now that you've barely met these characters, let's see if we can make you cry about them in a 30 second scene." Such a strong story, glad you liked it too!

vaughn DeGeer

Jakar and molari, the comedy team you didn’t know you needed

Andrew Midkiff

Great reaction. I cried too. Susan's father's death scene hit too close to home.

Texas Anla'Shok

This was the first episode of B5 I ever saw.

Nathanael Myer

I have watched this episode about 30 times and the gold channel gets me every time.

Roy Graham

The first real emotional gut-punch episode. Outta friggin' nowhere. Welcome to the fandom, Angela!

Episodes like this are why B5 is so exceptional. None of the characters are 2-dimensional. They spend the time to really flesh out the cast so as the story progresses you really feel like you know these people. The story isn't unfolding on some cast of characters; it's happening to people you know.

John

Babylon 5 is an ocean. Right now, you're wading out into the surf; getting your feet wet. One can't jump straight into the deep waters, or they might drown. You have to get through the surf, past the tides and get your sea legs before voyaging out into the deep. Once you lose sight of the shore, you may forget ever having been this close to land as the story grows in breadth and depth. This is such a bingeworthy show. If you wanted to show 2 or 3 episodes a week, I certainly wouldn't object. :)

The "Moon-faced assassin of joy!" line is the first of soooo many quotables from this show and also the quote most often spoken by the fandom. Soooo, like so many people here and on YT must've said... buckle up!

Alex von Hochtritt

Yay! Such a good character examination episode. The ball has started rolling - it will only PICK UP SPEED.

I think JRR Martin has been watching some Babylon 5 for his GOT! The writers had a five year story board. Everything has been planned, the beginning, middle and especially the end!

The only thing better than admiring the storytelling of one episode is knowing that when you sit down to watch the next one, it's going to be just as good. Once you latch onto the major plotlines, you'll know when the next episode will be even better than the previous one! Of course every show has its off days and Babylon 5 is no exception. But the show was designed to have the structure of a novel, just presented in visual form, leading to remarkable consistency of pacing and character development across its entire run. If you've spent enough time reading novels then the ebb and flow from one episode to the next will feel familiar, even if the environment and characters are literally alien.

B5 is such a great story. The time and effort placed into it can be seen. It's not flawless, but it's handled well. Even after 30 years and countless re-watches, I still find some detail I never noticed. (Like in this episode, the guy Ko'dath throws is the same one Trakis throws, just never clocked it.) I just hope you got all the seasons and the movies and know when to watch the movies in relation to the show. Also, if it hasn't been said, starting with Season 2, you have to not watch the opening credits scenes for the first episodes of each seasons. (Insert River Song)

Vexkun

I will say I use the "Moon-faced assassin of joy!" line more than I should. :P No cool ship info this week. So let do Trakis. this comes from the Babylon 5 Scripts - Other Voices: Vol 3 book. He is a Golian, a humanoid race that have been conquered by the Centauri, and are now a Protectorate under the Centauri Republic.

John

I know this is mostly background information, but even details like this tell Angela which races are more or less important. Clarifying stuff that was presented is great, but saying what is or is not mentioned in the future is still a spoiler, even if it's a small one. Angela's clever, and several little spoilers here and there can spoil larger story points when she puts them all together.

funnylilgalreacts

Yeah, comments, like this are great knowledge wise. But it does put in my head that the Centauri Republic is bad.

Vexkun

Will stick to cool ship info then. :P

Hugh

Complex doesn’t even start to describe Londo. We have just scratched the service.

Peter Powis

I adore Susan Ivanova's character. Straight forward and sometimes curt but she has a heart of gold. The depth of the writing of this show is second to none

Tranquil_Gnome

I never notice Claudia/Ivanova's reaction to Garibaldi checking the logs after the second incident of the gold channel usage. While he was focused on the computer, her face had hint of a look of I know you are not going to find what you think. Fantastic! Love Claudia in this series.

Nathaniel Castle

I love that in these kind of shows the scoundrels have the best episodes

Chris Lord

No edited reaction for this? :(

Chris Lord

Ah, when I hit the B5 tag it appears, but its not in the B5 album/ folder - says only 7 posts! :)

funnylilgalreacts

Ah I see, it was in the movie collection… those weren’t even close to each other in the list when it pops up. Odd.

Stuart Galloway

Londo, like so many of the characters in this show have so many layers and are able to be fully realised as three dimensional characters within the show because of the way it is written and the continual narrative nature of the show. Another facet of the show that really shines is that characters are able to do 'mundane' stuff - like the "watching G'Kar play Vir's video game" thing. Like Sinclair taking Talia out for a "thank you" dinner. Yes it is all scripted and serves the plot but it also shows people just being people rather than being purely expositional/plot driving scenes.

Sergio Meira

Ah, so now we get to see Adira, and another aspect of Londo, still the "old republican" in his "phase of decadence" with "nothing new to give" for the Centauri Republic... I'm glad you like these characters already. I've watched B5 a total of four times already over the last ten years, and every time I get to it I fall in love with the characters all over again.

Sergio Meira

"The way these characters emote..." My favorite quote from B5 is "nobody here is exactly what s/he appears." But they are very, very human. Even the non-human ones.

James

I called my chemistry teacher a moon-faced assassin of joy in 1994. It did not go down well
