I am a simple man: I see Babylon Five, I upvote. :-)
Why are they called the Babylon 5 when there are six of them in the picture?
It’s the fifth Babylon station. The first three were destroyed by sabotage and the fourth disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
The first fell to sabatage. So, they built a second one. That fell to sabatage. Same with the third. So, they built a fourth one. That burned down, fell into an atmosphere, then fell to sabatage, but the fifth one… stayed up! And that’s what you’re gonna get, lad: the strongest space station in these sectors.
That’s just their manager
it might be time for Babylon 5 rewatch.
My scifi fix hasn’t been satisfied by recent Hollywood attempts, need to go back to basics.
Have you already watched the animated movie Babylon 5: The Road Home? I liked it a lot.
i have not! i didn’t even know it existed, thanks! its on my list now
You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
If you do like the Cyberpunk subgenre of scifi, I can also highly recommend the movie Upgrade. It’s an Australian production and the ending hit me like a freight train.

(Don’t read the plot section!)
Thanks for the upgrade recommendation, haha, watching it now.
Sweet. Please let me know how you liked it. It’s one of my favourite movies.
Made a film post about your excellent recommendation: https://hackertalks.com/post/4230075
Wow that ending.
Real Colossus: The Forbin Project vibes! I love the gentle AI apocalypse, but i love out the AI is trying to protect itself from competition first!
Small nit, STEM was in the neck, so being able to see, or hear, or control what the brain can see and hear… wrong place for the routing.
Oh, nice post! And thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it. :)
I do love the literal cloud in the tech recluses mansion!
shucks. looks like netfix.
…it’s a love letter to fans of the original series yet remains practically ignored by the lurker’s guide…
Don’t feel bad, literally only released a year ago.
I watched Crusade…
Currently on season 3 of a rewatch haha
Such an awesome show
Such a great show. Humans were rarely the most interesting people. I wish there could’ve been a much better remastering than what we got, but it’s still worth watching. The way everything slowly accelerates through the end of season 4, by which the pace is breathtaking. You can’t take time to do that any more with streaming shows.
Sheridan: I really hate it when you do that.
Kosh: Good.
For anyone willing to take one in the nostalgia: Babylon 5 20th Anniversary Reunion at Phoenix Comicon 2013
No idea what that is but enjoy guys ha ha
The title is a quote from Ambassador Kosh, (the weird looking tall guy in the space suit in the center of the picture.) Said quote refers to events in the TV show Babylon 5. He is basically telling either Captain Sheridan, Commander Sinclair, or possibly Ambassador Delenn, that it is far too late to try to change what is about to happen.
The picture in question is of the primary non-human ambassadors and their support staff.
From Left to right Vir Kotto (attaché to Ambassador Mollari,) Ambassador Londo Mollari of The Centauri Republic, bassado Kosh of The Vorlon, Ambassador Delenn of The Minbari Alliance, Lennier (attaché to Delenn), and Ambassador G’Kar of The Narn Regime.
Sounds cool!
It’s well worth a watch. IMHO Delenn gets one of, if not, the best lines in the show with:
“There is one human who has ever beaten a Minbari warship in battle. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else.”
Jfc, that line was awesome. I actually shouted when I saw it back then, a big “yeah!” lol
Ivanova’s “God sent me” also deserves special mention
…ardwright chamberlain doesn’t get enough love: fun fact, he was a screenwriter for robotech!..
Kosh got some really great lines.
Gotta watch the 5th season. We loved the first four but it felt like it wrapped up really well, so we’ve been struggling to start the 5th.
You’re good, honestly. Unless you’re really invested in the Londo/G’kar storyline, the 4th season does indeed wrap everything up.
It doesn’t help that the first half of season 5 is the worst part of the series(well, barring Day of the Dead). It took ages for me to push through that, but the rest was a satisfying conclusion.
