So I knew that Sinclair was eventually going to leave B5 but I hadn’t realized it was going to be RIGHT AWAY. When Jeff and I started watching this episode, at first it seemed as though were were watching some other show. Continue reading →

As I mentioned in my last post, I discovered a couple of spoilers on the DVD cover for Season 2. My friend Allison kindly covered up the spoiler images on the other DVD boxes when she was over yesterday — thanks, Allison!

Several of you advised me to watch The Gathering before going onto the second season, hence this out-of-order post. As soon as I began watching the pilot, I recognized the first scene: I did see this many years ago when it first aired. Or at least a segment of it — I recall losing interest partway through.

Part of the turn-off for me, I recall, was the wooden acting of some of the main characters. Yes, I know, I should have still given it a chance! At least I’m admitting I was wrong not to have persevered, right? Continue reading →

Jeff has decided he doesn’t want to see The Gathering (I told him some of your comments and advice), so we’re going to go straight into Season 2; I’m going to watch The Gathering on my own.

So I put away the first season’s boxed set and excitedly took out the second season’s box…and immediately noticed the cast change on the cover. Ah well, so much for avoiding spoilers even before we begin to watch the season. Continue reading →

Yowza. Ok, so this episode more than made up for the previous. And of course at the end of the season, I’m left with SO MANY MORE QUESTIONS that I can’t possibly understand how you all stayed sane after watching it, knowing you had to wait until the next season to find out what happened next!

With everything that happened in the last episode, I confess I felt a bit let down by this one, though it was fun to see Londo corrupt Lennier AND find out that the latter is so good at hand-to-hand combat.

Things are sure heating up as we near the end of the episode. At first, Jeff and I both thought it was going to turn into a “Yesterday’s Enterprise” (from STTNG) plot, but I loved the time travel twist in this episode’s plot. Plus WOW, a ton of intriguing plot developments. Continue reading →

I’ve been very much enjoying reading your comments, everyone; thanks so much for your interest and support. According to my stats, there are currently about 1,100 unique visitors who read this blog.

There seems to be a bit of confusion about what I consider a spoiler…that’s my fault, since I do tend to ask a ton of questions throughout my reports, so I thought I’d clarify here. Continue reading →

Excellent episode.

My favourite line? Ivanova’s reply when Londo catches up with Ivanova in the corridor and demands to know what’s going on. Ivanova: “You want to know what’s really going on down there right now? Boom. Boom boom boom. Boom boom. Boom. Have a nice day.” Continue reading →

Wow, great episode. And a major cliffhanger! I’m writing this while waiting for Jeff to get back from an errand so we can watch Part 2. Continue reading →

Some great scenes with Talia and Ivanova in this episode. Love the seething hostility on Ivanova’s part; more and more, she’s one of my favourite characters. I predict that these two become close friends. Please don’t tell me if I’m right. Continue reading →
