FULL LENGTH REACTION

Comments

I haven’t watched your reaction yet (it will have to wait until this evening) but rest assured that this is one of the weakest episodes of the whole show.

I didn’t even think it was a weak episode. I feel like introducing biological weapons will definitely come back, but also Sinclair’s mind is definitely fractured from what he seen and done.

Sorcerer Rumburak

"weakest episodes of the whole show" doesn't mean "weak episode". 😉 But speaking of "weak": S1E02 in my opinion is weaker - I skip it on rewatches ... and the really weakest is the episode, which was filmed as a stopgap measure due to the producers' policy - and is yet to come - and also not really weak - so no comment further comment on this. @Angela: Do not google on this. This way you may find, what I meant - but do not do it. 😉

Marcus Hicks

I was coming here to say the same thing.

A great reaction to this episode! It's been a while since I've watched this one, and im glad I rewatched it with your reaction. It's actually a bit better than i remember it being. I think, from the fandom perspective, this one felt a bit too 'monster of the week' but that's only really a surface level impression. Some of the issues it brought up here...well...are more relevant now than they might have been when it was first aired. The mark of good sci fi is that it's message speaks through the era in which it was created. There are some portions of the episode that are a little on the nose, and I think its those elements are what tend to tarnish this episode a bit. Vance gets a bit 'moustache twirling bad guy ish' at the end. But overall, im glad I rewatched this. You insights are really well thought out and im happy to be rewatching the series and seeing it again through someone else's eyes who is adept at getting some of the more subtle things that are being convened here. This is a show that rewards people who pay attention to the details.

Moricant

Per IMDB ratings, there is only one episode rated lower than this one in the entire show, but that is telling us more about the overall quality rather than being negative about this one.

I'm glad you enjoyed this episode. It makes so many important points about history and philosophy and curiosity, without having to lean on seasons of back story.

MertzRocks

Here we see that you don't need big space battles to have some good SSPAAAAAAAAAACE SSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!! 😜 Oh yes, Angela: "Delicious" is a wonderful adjective for this program! 😘💕 --Me using the old-school 'Sugar Bear' (from a cereal) voice, singing: 🎶"Can't get enough o' that Angela... Love that Funny 'li'l Gal..."🎵😁 🤘😎🎸

On to episode FIVE! of Babylon FIVE! And what a 🔨🔨🔨🔨 BANGER it is! Wait! Spoiler? >>>>NO!<<<< The entire rest of the season - EVERY episode - IS A BANGER!! (with only one *possible* exception - and only imho) I used to think this ep was 'weak' compared to the rest of S1, but now I don't. It always seems to get better with each rewatch I do with creators like you (though NONE are like YOU, Angela!). You are so far only the third creator I have seen react to this show - and one of them is doing it now, like you, and is only a few episodes further along. The show unfortunately has enough detractors (obviously people ignorant of some facts) that there are plenty of creators who don't want to take a chance on B5. It's sad that some people use their 'bottom line' for decision-making... Joe was/is a genius and B5 is magical.

MertzRocks

"The devil is in the details" is a very apt expression for B5. Those who pay close attention are rewarded later.

MertzRocks

Sinclair's mine? or mind?

Andrew Mortimer

one thing to remember about earth to understand if not agree with some people motivations is that 10 years ago humans nearly became extinct, it would have happened had the mimbari not decided to surrender. this is obviously going to affect the whole planets psyche. Our first thought after the war was to build a diplomatic peace stations to make sure it didn’t happen again. The whole "maybe space exploration is a bad idea" isn’t that unreasonable a sentiment given that context. Obviously its trying to put the genie back in the bottle which will never work, but you can understand why certain politicians are exploiting those feelings

James Fleischman

We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes, and - all of this - all of this - was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars.

Baulderstone

I find I enjoy the "weak" episodes of B5 a lot more than I used to, including this one. Aside from it planting some seeds for later, it's a good character episode for Sinclair and Garibaldi, especially the ending.

Fr. Brench

I think the main reason this episode is not generally well-liked is because its primary storyline is so... familiar as a sci-fi trope. Maybe some of the acting was a bit campy, too? In any case, it's the execution of the social commentary and the incidental world-building that gives it its memorable elements. And yay, I'm glad Moya got a shoutout!

Bubba Fett

This is one of those episodes where its almost easy to forget youre even watching sci fi. Even though the driver of this episode is essentialy alien technology on another world the core of the episide is so much beyond that. Even that brief spot at the end talking about sinclairs PTSD. A good representation of the series as a whole and its hard to explain to non B5 watchers that, its just good.

Michael Hill

Don’t know if you ever watched NCIS but the actor who played Dr.Franlin’s mentor was a star on the show before he died 3 years ago

Lonnie Langston

Everyone has their preferences, leanings, or tastes, and so that leads to opinions and whatnot. I was a little worried about FLG going into this show because it wasn't well received. (That being said, quite possibly my #1 TV show ever.) Seeing this reaction to this episode.... Yeah, I think I'm glad it's being watched and even more happier I bought the Patreon exclusively because of it. Funny Lil Gal, Let's Fucking Go!

Texas Anla'Shok

The worst episode of the entire series seems to be split between this one and another later this season. I'll be interested to see where you land on that particular one.

Vexkun

Also, this was the 1st ep filmed for the series, so everyone is still finding their footing.

Vexkun

I love Sinclair's final speech at the end. I always bring it up when people say space exploration is a waste of time and money. It is the simplest truth about space exploration that I can think of, the most compelling, and the most overlooked one. "We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes, and - all of this - all of this - was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars."

Fr. Brench

I thought that was the case, the number for stuck in memory. Did they do that every season?

Thomas Schorsch

It is a very unreasonable sentiment. What they would fail to understand is that the genie was never trapped in the bottle in the first place, and that the bottle was only an illusion. Mankind was running around the galaxy for a long time before the Minbari war. I don't know about you, but I have had enough of narrow minded people easily manipulated by bigotry and fear. Those sentiments always turn their hate inward too.

Roy Graham

The first four seasons of this show doesn't really have any bad episodes. There are ones that drive the main story and ones that are just solid sci fi that builds out the universe. This is firmly the later. You touched on something in your summation but this show is eerily prescient. Thanks for letting us experience this episode for the first time again. BTW- I felt your nostalgic Moya pang.

Garrick Smalley

Angela J. M. Straczynski's father was an actual Nazi. When JMS found out he "dedicated" his life to undermining that ideology. There is way more to this subject than my very simple lines so I encourage people to search it out.

Texas Anla'Shok

JMS tell us an anecdote about this episode in his autobiography. While they were filming this, he was beating with network officials and he arranged to have Marshall Teague in full costume kick the door in and point his arm Cannon. JMS then ordered him to stand down. Needless to say, it made an impression. And what can we conclude from that, except JMS is a pure Ikarran.

DoktorEvil

I'm not going to go into deep detail, cuz spoilers, but it's fun watching this first season and seeing how JMS used these episodes to establish the world and everyone's personality before the series goes into high gear later. Also remembering how great Richard Biggs was as the Doc. RIP, sir. Also, that sentiment applies to Michael O'Hare as the Commander. Watching this, it's difficult to believe that the Network really wasn't into his portrayal of Sinclair at first. He was mostly a stage actor (in fact IIRC he originated the role of the Colonel for the original stage production of A Few Good Men, aka Mr. "You can't handle the truth!") He was perfect for the very theatrical way JMS wrote, with all those big dramatic speeches. Fantastic casting.

I'm with you on "Let the doctor settle into his job more, man!" I love the whole message of life being imperfect, no matter the race, biology or culture. To use Star Trek's IDIC philosophy, we're all made stronger with diversity. I shared a screenshot, in one of the chats, relating to living ships in a game I'm currently into. Figured you'd get a kick out of it.
