Babylon 5

 I first watched Babylon 5 a few years ago. I recently started a new rewatch of the series. There are episodes I don't really like, but I still watch them trying to gain a new appreciation for them. JMS was onto something for sure with this series. It is a masterpiece. The actors in the show are amazing as well. Each took their role with authority and did an excellent job. I enjoy the series so much. It has deep levels of storytelling and lore that you have to pay attention every step of the way. There is a larger story to be told than what is in any single episode, which is how I think it was planned out.

I started with The Gathering and then continue on with the series season by season, never skipping an episode. If I remember from my initial watch of the series, there are some that are just my favorite. Those that have to deal with Babylon 4 are my favorite. "Wanna talk socks?" Yeah, that line kills me.

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.

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...
