Trainee
in Babylon 5
I realize that most B5 fans can't stand Season 5. Yet, while watching some of the early episodes, I could not help but enjoy the conflict between Garibaldi and Lochley.

You know the second time around it's not that bad, even Byron hasn't gotten on my nerves yet.

It just seemed to me that they wrapped up the Earth Civil War early because JMS wasn't sure if Babyon 5 would be given another season. Although I did like the last couple episodes though, Objects at Rest and Sleeping in Light... very emotional.

[b]Every season is nice, but in season 5 it's just that nobody notice the Drakhs even though Sheridan has been to the future and knows what will happen to Centauri. Well, any way, Season 5 is OK!!![/b][/quote]
Sheridan saw what happened to Centari Prime, but he had no idea WHO did that, or whether other worlds were in danger. He really had nothing to base a theory on.

When Sheridan went to the future he had no real idea of the time at which it happened. It could have been from any war, even the Shadow War (as at that time for him the Shadow War was still going). He didn't know about the Drakh, he didn't know that they had infested Centauri Prime.

When he goes to Z'ha'dum he leaves a message for delenn were he talks about his trip to the future. In the future Delenn told him not to go to Z'ha'dum, but I never became clear wether this future was the resul of going or not going.
But he was alive in that future, and he knew that he would die on Z'ha'dum (kosh told him a few times) so he concluded that it was the result of not going. We know of course that this is a mistake.
Now he's trying to cange the future by going to Z'ha'dum, sacreficing his life, ending the shadow war and saving Centauri prime.
He seemed to be successful. The shadows are gone and Centauri prime is save.
I think in S5, when he sees Centauri prime buring after the attack, he begins to realize that he didn't change anything. But at this point it's too late.

And yet even that one isn't the attack that he saw the result of. The one he saw the result of was the fusion bombs the Drakh planted all over the planet being set off.

There were some good season 5 eps, A View from the Gallery was great IMHO, and of course objects at rest/motion and SiL, My personal opinion is that s5 was just rushed, and due to CC leaving the show, and the fact that the earth war should have taken place over season 5 not season 4, they had to scramble to get stories together.

Hehehehe That looks fun, can I try?
Also, there should have been another season or two, following Season 5. The latter not only wrapped up the Centauri storyline, which was left hanging in Season 4. It also opened up a lot of other possibilities.
And I think too many people expected Sheridan to wrap up all of their problems at the end of Season 5. Why, I don't know. Especially since both the Civil War and Shadow War plots were not wrapped up within one season.

Another problem is: Londo gave a present to delen and sheridan for their first child who would rule the Interstellar Alliance... and we know that its a drak (is that written right?) present. What will happen to that child.. what will happen to centauri prime, because londo wanted to help his planet an i think that he is doing that at that moment when he rescue delen from prison and kills himself with the help of G'Kar. Will the EA help Centauri prime against the Drak ?
And another question - from Crusade - what will happen to Earth ? They didn't finish the serie yet as i know...
A view from the Gallery?

A View from the Gallery was a great episode, one of those completely separate episodes that JMS threw in occasionally to give us a view of the lives of the normal people.
