Babylon 5 Season Four


 Oh, Season Four, what have you done to me? It's been years since I watched Babylon 5. I'm doing a rewatch now and I'm in the midst of Season Four. I forgot a lot of things that went on. I remember not liking the whole Garibaldi story arc the first time around. I didn't like that he left B5 as security chief or anything like that. This second time I'm watching it, I understand more. I get why he did it. Bester's a jerk, but he's one of my favorite characters.

I wonder how Sinclair would have been played out in this season had the actor been able to stay on. I understand the reasons he left; I get it. But it's still an interesting thought. Garibaldi's betrayal would have played out differently. Hit harder in that sense.

The whole episode about Sheriden's interrogation is magnificent. It really captured what torture can do to a person, I think. Top notch writing. The stories make up for the cgi that's decades old. Such good story telling for sure.

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time. It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Babylon 5 Destruction

 I always get emotional watching the last episode of Babylon 5. Especially the destruction of the station. There are so many good memories of the series that it's just emotional watching JMS flipping the switch and the station exploding as the last transport leaves. It's like oh the series is really over. The station has served its purpose not needed anymore. Was peace ever really achieved though? It makes me wonder. I've only watched the series once all the way through, I'm on a second rewatch. One of my favorite characters is Mr. Morden. I'm not sure why that's the case, he's creepy as all get out. I just know that he intrigues me for some reason or another. Kosh is also a mystery, but he's meant to be that way. He's an alien that no one seems to understand or grasp. The whole story arc is simply amazing. It was television ahead of its time. I'm glad it was made. Talk about a brilliant television series. It was one of the first serialized shows...
